The problem

Factories repair machines after they break, and an hour of unplanned downtime on a production line costs more than a month of maintenance.

The solution

Signalcraft listens to the vibration of each motor with a clip-on sensor and warns the maintenance team a week before a bearing fails.

Who it's for

Mid-sized manufacturers with 50–500 rotating machines.

Market

Bottom-up: about 90,000 customers like this in Czech Republic and nearby, worth roughly $160 million a year at our prices.

Competition and edge

What people use today

Mostly spreadsheets, phone calls and doing nothing. The established suppliers sell to large organisations and are too expensive and too slow to set up for the customers we serve.

Why this team wins

Tereza worked as a maintenance engineer in car plants before studying signal processing, so the team knows the buyers by name. Jakub built the core technology, and the first customers came by referral.

Headline metric

46 active users, growing 12% a month

The team

Tereza knows the customer and has sold to them before; Jakub has built this kind of system at scale. We have worked side by side since before Signalcraft had a name.
