Beam Dynamics

Pre Seed Round in 2022
Imagine: a teleprompter stops working midway through a live program. A lighting grid suddenly turns off during taping, and a pair of premium cinema cameras stop functioning on a film set. In 90% of cases, interruptions on set can be traced back to high-end production equipment failure. And downtime in our industry costs money – adding up fast to break budgets and even end careers. While common business systems like ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) or CRM (Customer Relationship Management) have digitalized wide parts of businesses and AI has taken center stage in the media supply chain, the management of production technology assets is still quite analog and fragmented, requiring manual data entry and monitoring from the workforce. Beam Dynamics is helping film & broadcast productions manage, maintain, and grow their critical technology infrastructure. The Beam enterprise asset management platform provides engineers access to all critical security patches, firmware updates, documentation, and contact information from over 5,000 vendors and close to a million products in a single user interface. Simply by uploading an inventory list with the model # and manufacturer, engineers get access to a rich set of critical data to keep productions on-air, on time, and on-budget.
