# Gresmagn

*/Startups/Gresmagn*

## Startup Overview

Factory operators rely on rigid maintenance schedules or reactive repairs that ignore actual equipment conditions. This system parses raw sensor telemetry from industrial machinery to automatically generate dynamic maintenance schedules. Plant managers receive exact work orders based on real-time asset health, preventing catastrophic breakdowns without over-servicing healthy machines.

Legacy computerized maintenance management tools like Fiix and UpKeep operate as DIY subscriptions, forcing facility teams into manual data entry and complex alert configuration. This platform bypasses software administration entirely by delivering a fully managed service. It handles the complete data pipeline from sensor ingestion to schedule dispatch and prices the service based on delivered outcomes, tying the cost directly to the prevention of unplanned factory downtime.

## Startup Founding Hypothesis

**Approach**: that parses sensor telemetry to automate factory maintenance scheduling
**Competitors**:
- [Fiix](/Competitors/Fiix)
- [UpKeep](/Competitors/UpKeep)
- [Manual Logbooks](/Competitors/Manual_Logbooks)
**Differentiator2x2**: fully managed and outcome-priced rather than a DIY subscription

## Startup Offer

**Proof**:
- Targeting a 35% reduction in unplanned mechanical downtime for mid-market continuous manufacturing plants.
- Aiming to eliminate manual sensor log checks, saving maintenance planners up to 15 hours per week.
- Designed to detect vibration and temperature anomalies up to 10 days before total bearing failure.
**Tiers**:
- Name: Per Intervention · Price: ~$100–$250 per validated maintenance schedule · Inclusions: Continuous telemetry parsing and automated work order generation triggered only when asset degradation is detected. Includes baseline configuration for up to 25 critical machines.
- Name: Shared Savings · Price: ~15%–25% of calculated avoided downtime value · Inclusions: Fully managed predictive scheduling across an entire facility. Billed against a mutually agreed historical baseline of unplanned equipment failure costs, capped at ~$120k/yr per facility.
**Guarantee**: If a monitored machine experiences a critical mechanical failure without Gresmagn generating a preemptive maintenance alert, all monitoring and intervention fees for that asset are refunded for the quarter.
**Business Function**: ProvideService
**Objection Handlers**:
- Objection: Our technicians already use UpKeep for their daily tasks. Rebuttal: Gresmagn is designed to act as an automated dispatcher for UpKeep, pushing fully populated work orders directly into the app so technicians don't change their routine.
- Objection: Factory floor data is too noisy for automated triggers. Rebuttal: We normalize raw PLC and vibration sensor data to filter out baseline operational noise, triggering schedules only on sustained degradation signatures.
- Objection: Our IT department forbids external connections to industrial control systems. Rebuttal: The system is intended to deploy alongside standard data diodes, ensuring strictly one-way outbound telemetry without exposing internal networks.
- Objection: Outcome-based pricing is impossible to measure accurately. Rebuttal: We run a 30-day passive pilot to establish a historical downtime baseline and agree on a standard hourly cost per machine before any outcome billing begins.

## 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 passive baseline pilot: Monitor up to 25 critical machines without triggering active alerts to establish an agreed-upon historical downtime baseline and calculate the standard hourly cost per machine for future shared-savings billing.
- 90-day active intervention pilot: Push automated work orders directly into the facility's existing UpKeep instance, targeting the successful interception and preemptive scheduling of at least three critical mechanical anomalies before unexpected failure.
**Target Metrics**:
- Target: 35% reduction in unplanned mechanical downtime across monitored critical assets
- Aim: 15 hours per week of manual sensor log checking eliminated for maintenance planners
- Target: 10 days of advance warning generated for bearing and temperature anomalies prior to mechanical failure
- Aim: 100% automated population of UpKeep work orders directly from sustained degradation signatures
**Target Case Studies**:
- A mid-market continuous manufacturing plant (target buyer: Maintenance Director) transitioning from manual sensor log checks to automated UpKeep work orders, aiming to shift critical asset maintenance from reactive to scheduled.
- A tier-2 industrial equipment supplier (target buyer: Plant Manager) deploying secure one-way telemetry, targeting the identification of bearing degradation up to 10 days prior to total failure to prevent full assembly line halts.
- A regional packaging facility (target buyer: VP of Operations) adopting a shared-savings pricing model, aiming to establish a 30-day downtime baseline and reduce total unplanned mechanical downtime by 35% over the first year.
**Testimonial Targets**:
- Maintenance Planner: Needs to express relief that they no longer spend hours analyzing noisy PLC data, as fully populated work orders now automatically appear in their existing CMMS only when real degradation occurs.
- Director of IT/OT Security: Needs to validate the security model, explicitly confirming the system's ability to operate strictly via one-way outbound data diodes without exposing internal industrial control networks.
- Plant Manager: Needs to highlight the fairness of the outcome-based pricing model, emphasizing that paying a percentage of avoided downtime costs perfectly aligns vendor incentives with facility uptime.
