# Fordyn

*/Startups/Fordyn*

## Startup Overview

This infrastructure modeling engine synchronizes physical asset states directly from raw sensor streams. The system ingests continuous telemetry from industrial hardware and translates it into an exact, up-to-the-second digital representation. It bridges the gap between field deployments and central control interfaces without requiring intermediate data processing.

Facility operators and infrastructure managers use the software to eliminate manual SCADA audits and fragmented incident reporting. Rather than dispatching technicians to verify equipment status or waiting for scheduled data pushes, engineering teams monitor the immediate operational state of their entire hardware fleet in one continuous view.

Compared to Autodesk Tandem or AWS IoT TwinMaker, which often depend on complex data architectures and flat enterprise licensing, this approach is fundamentally real-time synchronized at the ingestion layer. The engine prices strictly per active stream, tying costs directly to the specific sensors transmitting data and scaling natively with the physical footprint.

## Startup Offer

**Proof**:
- Targeting sub-50ms synchronization latency across standard industrial sensor networks.
- Aiming to eliminate weekly manual SCADA state audits by providing continuous, verifiable asset views.
- Designing the architecture to support 10,000+ concurrent streams per facility without state drift.
**Tiers**:
- Name: Pilot Sync · Price: ~$40–$80 per active stream/mo · Inclusions: Up to 50 active sensor streams, 1-second sync intervals, standard API access, and basic state-conflict resolution logic.
- Name: Facility Fleet · Price: ~$15–$35 per active stream/mo · Inclusions: Up to 1,000 active sensor streams, sub-second sync intervals, designed to integrate with standard SCADA historians, and priority alerting.
- Name: Enterprise Scale · Price: ~$5–$12 per active stream/mo · Inclusions: Volume tier for 1,000+ streams, millisecond latency targets, custom edge-node deployment options, and multi-site state aggregation.
**Guarantee**: If state synchronization latency exceeds the contracted interval threshold for more than 0.1% of uptime in a billing cycle, you receive a full credit for that month's affected stream costs.
**Business Function**: ProvideService
**Objection Handlers**:
- Objection: Our SCADA system relies on proprietary legacy protocols. Rebuttal: Fordyn is designed to utilize local edge-translators that ingest raw serial data before passing it to the core sync engine.
- Objection: Cloud round-trip latency is too high for our real-time assets. Rebuttal: The system architecture supports local edge-node deployment, keeping state synchronization strictly on-premise.
- Objection: Pricing per stream will explode when we connect every minor sensor. Rebuttal: The pricing model aggressively tiers down at high volume, making blanket facility coverage cheaper than managing AWS IoT TwinMaker infrastructure.

## Startup Buyer Chain

**Chain**: Fordyn → SCADA Engineer → Industrial Operations Team
**Gtm Motion**: Fordyn acquires users through self-serve, single-stream pilot deployments initiated by SCADA engineers, expanding to enterprise contracts by federating those individual streams into full-facility digital twins.
**Agent Channel**: Designed to list as a telemetry provider in agentic registries (such as the LangChain tool hub), allowing autonomous predictive maintenance agents to discover and query live industrial asset states.
**Primary Channel**: Developer-focused technical search for specific stream integration challenges (e.g., 'SCADA raw stream sync API') and intended ecosystem listings in the AWS IoT and Azure Certified Device catalogs.

## 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-line pilot: Deploy up to 50 active sensor streams to prove 1-second sync intervals and validate basic state-conflict resolution logic
- 90-day facility edge pilot: Integrate 1,000 streams with existing SCADA historians using local edge-nodes to demonstrate sub-second latency and zero state drift
**Target Metrics**:
- Target: < 50ms state synchronization latency across local edge-node deployments
- Target: 0 instances of state drift across 10,000 concurrent facility sensor streams
- Target: 100% elimination of weekly manual SCADA state audits
- Target: > 99.9% uptime for contracted sync interval thresholds
**Target Case Studies**:
- A mid-sized manufacturing plant manager replacing weekly manual SCADA state audits with continuous edge-translated digital asset views
- An enterprise energy operator scaling facility sensor coverage to 10,000+ concurrent streams without encountering state drift or exploding infrastructure costs
- A logistics hub operations director achieving sub-second state synchronization across hundreds of legacy sensors using local edge-node deployments
**Testimonial Targets**:
- Plant Manager: Relief that local edge-translators ingest proprietary legacy protocols without requiring a total SCADA overhaul
- Director of Industrial IoT: Confidence in deploying blanket facility sensor coverage because the high-volume tiered pricing model controls infrastructure costs
- Reliability Engineer: Satisfaction that real-time state synchronization stays strictly on-premise to bypass cloud round-trip latency issues

## Startup Top Risks

**Risks**:
- Severity: existential · Description: High-frequency sensor data ingestion and storage costs exceed the per-stream pricing revenue, resulting in structurally negative margins. · Mitigation Status: in-progress
- Severity: high · Description: Incumbents like AWS bundle real-time streaming capabilities into existing enterprise contracts at zero additional cost. · Mitigation Status: unmitigated
- Severity: moderate · Description: Legacy industrial SCADA systems lack standard APIs, forcing costly custom integrations that delay deployment timelines. · Mitigation Status: in-progress
- Severity: low · Description: Industrial clients refuse to replace manual audits with automated streams due to rigid compliance protocols requiring human verification. · Mitigation Status: unmitigated

## Startup Story Brand

**Hero**:
- **Need**: to be the guarantor of operational uptime, not the person investigating phantom sensor drift
- **Want**: to maintain an exact, real-time digital replica of every physical asset
- **Identity**: the facility manager at an industrial manufacturing plant
**Plan**:
- Step: Select streams · Detail: Choose up to 50 initial sensor streams from your existing SCADA or edge-translator network.
- Step: Review synchronization · Detail: Verify the live telemetry readouts against your physical asset state in real-time.
- Step: Scale coverage · Detail: Add facility-wide sensors with tiered pricing that drops as your synchronization volume grows.
**Guide**:
- **Empathy**: Operational margins are won in milliseconds — but legacy SCADA historians leave gaps in your digital visibility.
**Problem**:
- **Villain**: state drift
- **External**: manual SCADA audits and AWS IoT TwinMaker configurations fail to capture millisecond-level changes in active machinery
- **Internal**: you feel blind to the actual state of your shop floor despite having data
- **Philosophical**: Why should facility leaders accept lagged data when millisecond-perfect synchronization is possible?
**Success**: Your digital replica mirrors the physical shop floor with sub-50ms latency, eliminating the need for weekly manual audits.
**One Liner**: Every shift, facility managers struggle with state drift between physical assets and digital twins. Fordyn synchronizes raw sensor streams in real-time so your digital replicas are always exact.
**Positioning**:
- **So That**: digital twins mirror physical reality with sub-50ms latency
- **Unlike**: AWS IoT TwinMaker and manual SCADA audits
- **For Whom**: facility managers at industrial manufacturing plants

- Inaccurate digital twin predictions
**Transformation**:
- **To**: free to optimize plant throughput, no longer stuck auditing sensor logs
- **From**: a technician chasing SCADA data discrepancies
**Controlling Idea**: Industrial digital twins must be synchronized from live telemetry, never manual audits.
