Why Relynk exists
In 2021, Simen Bakken was running reliability engineering for a mid-size auto parts supplier in the Oslo area. The plant had 200+ sensors across 14 production lines. The data lived in three separate SCADA systems that didn't talk to each other. Anomaly analysis was done weekly in Excel.
A bearing failure on a press machine cost them 38 hours of unplanned downtime and a missed delivery. The sensor data showing abnormal vibration had been there for 11 days. No one saw it.
Simen built the first version of Relynk in six months. Not to replace SCADA - but to aggregate it, watch it, and route the right information to the right person before a failure became a shutdown.
The company was founded in 2022. Today Relynk is used by operations teams in manufacturing, energy, and process industries across the US. Relynk is backed by TRK Group through a seed round investment.
