Factor4SolutionsThe control layer for efficient cooling

Physics-based cooling optimization. 
Savings from day one.

SyMa Conductor turns your existing cooling plant into one coordinated system. Our on-site control device runs your chillers, pumps, and heat rejection together as a single, continuously optimised system. No new chillers, no cloud connection, no black-box learning phase.

The problem

Your chillers are not the whole problem.

Conventional control tunes each component for a single design point. In a real plant, that design point occurs in fewer than 3% of operating hours. For the rest of the year, pumps and heat rejection units run harder than they need to, and the chillers themselves are pushed into less efficient operation. Across a typical cooling plant these peripheral components draw close to 30% of the electricity, and standard control leaves that share untouched.

How SyMa works

A physics model decides every operating point.

01

Model the plant

A first-principles thermodynamic model is built from your real schematics and component data. No training period, and it does not need historical data to start. Where good historical data exists, we use it to sharpen the model.

02

Predict and optimise

Every minute SyMa predicts how each combination of chillers, pumps and free cooling will meet the next load, and picks the operating point with the lowest electrical cost inside your safety envelope.

03

Run locally, on a dedicated controller

The optimisation runs entirely on site, on a dedicated, proven controller we deliver with the software. Matching the hardware to the software keeps the system reliable and long-lived, rather than leaving it to run on equipment we have not qualified. No cloud dependency. No loss of control if the network is down. Your operators keep authority.

"The transparency we now have is outstanding. We compared the annual refrigeration energy use to the previous year, and the efficiency gains and cost savings were immediately obvious."

Commercial model

You pay only from what you save.

SyMa runs on a shared-savings licence. The fee is a share of the savings the system produces, so the efficiency gains fund themselves. There is no large upfront investment to justify against a projection.
