App Concept
SolenoidDiagnose Pro
A mobile app that guides technicians through step-by-step solenoid troubleshooting with resistance and voltage checks, temperature logging, and a component swap history log. Replaces manual guesswork and physical trial-and-error swapping.
Key Features
- Step-by-step troubleshooting wizard for solenoid issues (overheating, no actuation, partial opening)
- Input and log voltage, resistance, temperature readings with visual indicators
- History log to track which components were swapped and test results
- Reference library with common solenoid specifications and failure patterns
Target Users: Equipment repair technicians in plumbing, electrical, HVAC, or general field service who repair solenoid-operated valves or fluid-handling equipment
Revenue Model: $9.99/mo per user SaaS subscription or $49 one-time pro version with advanced diagnostics
