WedgeSell through MES integrators and IoT resellers with a prebuilt ‘site-in-a-day’ package that maps floorplans and connects 5 common sensors to provide immediate KPIs.
Core ValueGet a live, maintainable digital twin of your factory in days without expensive consultants.
WhomPlant managers at SMB manufacturers with existing sensors or modest IoT plans
Why NowSMB IoT adoption has reached a tipping point; affordable edge sensors and improved web-3D tooling make low-cost twins viable now.

The Pitch

Idea Description

Plug-and-play 2D/3D digital twin builder that lets small and mid-sized manufacturers create live floorplan twins without an engineering team. - Problem: SMEs lack affordable, maintainable twins; enterprise vendors are complex and costly. - Who: plant managers and operations leads at manufacturers with 5–200 machines. - Approach: low-code web app + prebuilt sensor connectors and templates to map assets, visualize KPIs, and simulate simple scenarios. - Go-to-market: channel via MES integrators and IoT hardware resellers for quick pilots.

The Edge

Differentiator

Focus on SMB ease-of-use, rapid deploy templates, and channel-led distribution—not feature parity with enterprise incumbents—creating defensibility via partnerships and vertical content.
