Startups
Factor4Solutions GmbHFactor4Solutions GmbH, founded in 2023 by three engineers with over 20 years of experience in refrigeration plant construction and system management, builds on deep industry expertise. In 2021, their outstanding research was recognized by the International Energy Agency (IEA). Drawing from this background, the team developed an AI-powered control solution for cooling and heating systems that serves as an “in-between” software layer, seamlessly connecting existing control technologies and system components.

Our solution, the System Manager (SyMa), integrates easily via standard IT protocols and operates independently of manufacturers, enhancing existing systems in a modular way without requiring costly retrofits.

The System Manager delivers up to 40% energy savings — and even up to 75% in some pilot cases — achieving a return on investment within 6 to 18 months. Thanks to its open interfaces and modular structure, it can be flexibly retrofitted or incorporated into new installations.

We also offer a range of complementary services, including real-time monitoring, automated energy audits, ESG/CSRD-compliant reporting, planning support, and much more.

Customer Problem
ISO 50001 classifies refrigeration as a Significant Energy User (SEU). Globally and nationally, refrigeration systems account for around 15% of electricity demand. In Germany alone, this equates to approximately 90 TWh of electricity consumption annually, costing about €15.3 billion. High electricity and operating costs, along with significant CO₂ emissions, place a burden on products across various markets. Refrigeration technology is critical and widely used — from data centers, building air conditioning, and retail, to healthcare, food production, and event centers.
