# Diagnouble

*/Startups/Diagnouble*

## Startup Overview

This system ingests live telemetry from industrial machinery and recreates the equipment's operational state inside a high-fidelity virtual simulation. Plant operators and maintenance engineers use it to isolate mechanical failures without dispatching technicians to the factory floor. By modeling physical stress and performance anomalies in real time, the platform pinpoints the exact component causing downtime.

Unlike basic log parsers that only flag error codes or traditional field service teams that require manual equipment teardowns, this software automates root-cause analysis from start to finish. It bypasses legacy asset management platforms like Siemens MindSphere by executing digital-twin verified diagnostics, which confirm the exact failure mode before issuing a repair protocol. Maintenance teams receive a validated failure recreation alongside the exact fix, eliminating diagnostic guesswork and minimizing production halts.

## Startup Offer

**Proof**:
- Targeting a 60% reduction in unnecessary field technician dispatches for false alarms.
- Aiming to isolate complex mechanical and systemic faults within 20 minutes of simulated runtime.
- Designed to match traditional heavy-deployment diagnostic accuracy with zero on-site hardware requirements.
**Tiers**:
- Name: Asset Diagnostic · Price: ~$1,500–$2,500/mo · Inclusions: Telemetry ingestion and automated root-cause simulation for up to 10 distinct hardware assets.
- Name: Line Simulation · Price: ~$4,000–$7,000/mo · Inclusions: Complex virtual modeling for up to 50 interdependent assets operating on a continuous production line.
- Name: Enterprise Fleet · Price: ~$60k–$90k/yr · Inclusions: Cross-facility virtual environments intended to integrate directly with existing SCADA systems and historian databases.
**Guarantee**: If the system fails to isolate a verifiable root cause for a registered fault within the virtual environment, the telemetry processing fees for that diagnostic window are refunded.
**Business Function**: ProvideService
**Objection Handlers**:
- Objection: Our equipment relies on undocumented legacy protocols. Response: The ingestion pipeline is designed to map standard industrial data alongside custom parsing configurations for proprietary logs.
- Objection: Virtual simulations fail to account for physical equipment wear. Response: The digital twin continuously calibrates its baseline state using historical telemetry to model actual physical degradation.
- Objection: We already use basic log parsers for error tracking. Response: Log parsers only record the sensor that tripped; this simulates the environment's physics to identify the mechanical failure that caused the trip.

## Startup Proof Points

_Illustrative — target and order-of-magnitude estimate figures, not an achieved track record (this Thing is concept-stage)._

**Pilot Goals**:
- 30-day single-asset diagnostic pilot monitoring up to 10 hardware components, designed to ingest existing telemetry and prove root-cause simulation accuracy against historical manual fault logs.
- 60-day continuous production line simulation covering 50 interdependent assets, aiming to isolate and simulate mechanical faults within 20 minutes of runtime.
- 90-day legacy integration test connecting directly to an existing historian database, structured to validate the custom parsing configurations on undocumented protocols.
**Target Metrics**:
- Target: 60% reduction in unnecessary field technician dispatches for false alarms.
- Aim: 20-minute isolation time for complex mechanical faults within the simulated runtime environment.
- Target: 0 on-site diagnostic hardware deployments required to match traditional heavy-deployment root-cause accuracy.
**Target Case Studies**:
- Mid-sized industrial manufacturing plant (Maintenance Director) — aims to transition from dispatching technicians for isolated sensor trips to pinpointing mechanical root causes via telemetry-driven virtual simulation.
- Regional utility operator (SCADA Operations Manager) — targets mapping undocumented legacy protocol telemetry into a virtual environment to identify cascading failures across interdependent assets without installing physical probes.
- Enterprise heavy-equipment fleet (Reliability Engineer) — focuses on calibrating virtual models using historical telemetry to isolate physical equipment wear faults before they trigger catastrophic line stops.
**Testimonial Targets**:
- Maintenance Director — needs to confirm that the physics-based simulation identifies the actual mechanical failure rather than just the tripped sensor, eliminating manual troubleshooting hours.
- SCADA Systems Engineer — must validate that the ingestion pipeline successfully maps proprietary legacy logs into the digital twin without requiring a custom integration overhaul.
- Plant Operations Manager — should express confidence in the system's continuous calibration, proving the virtual model accurately reflects the physical degradation and wear of aging equipment.
