The process
Which machine, unit, line, station or operation needs to be monitored?
CONTACT
Let's understand your operation.
A good application starts with the process, not with a catalog. Tell us what happens in the field, what you need to monitor and which information you still cannot see.
BEFORE THE FIRST CONVERSATION
What helps us understand the application
You do not need to prepare a technical specification. A few simple pieces of information are already enough to guide the first analysis.
What you need to see
Output, states, downtime, operators, quality, level, pressure, temperature or another piece of operational information.
What is already there
Electrical signals, sensors, industrial communication, manual records or any data source already available.
Where it happens
Industrial environment, remote operation, network infrastructure available and any constraints of the site.
Not sure how to answer all of that? No problem. Describe the need in your own words and we start from there.
TALK TO SENNZE
Start with the need.
Use the form to present the operation or the difficulty you want to solve. There is no need to define hardware, sensors or architecture beforehand.

Tell us about your operation
The more specific, the better. Tell us the type of machine, what you need to know but cannot see today, and how production is currently recorded. That gives us enough context to make the first reply useful.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Questions before starting
Some questions come up often when a new application starts being assessed.
Does SENNZE work with old machines?
Yes. The integration can make use of signals and resources already present on the machine, or add means of acquisition where necessary. How it is integrated depends on the equipment and on the information that has to be obtained.
Does the existing automation have to be modified?
Not always. Where possible, SENNZE works from signals, sensors or communications available without replacing the machine's original control. Every application is assessed before the integration is defined.
Does the operation need internet access?
The architecture can keep acquisition, processing and storage in the local environment. The external connection is used for the web features and for synchronization where the application requires it, without turning the internet into a requirement for local acquisition to continue.
What if the machine has no signals available to acquire?
The application can use additional sensors or combine automatic acquisition with operational records. The goal is to find the right source of information without assuming the machine is already instrumented.
Does SENNZE serve processes that are not production lines?
Yes. The architecture can also monitor process variables, remote equipment, operational stations and other applications where field data has to be acquired, contextualized, stored and visualized.
Is it possible to start with a small application and expand later?
The architecture allows the rollout to be organized by application, by unit or by area. Whether and how it expands is defined according to the infrastructure and the goals of each operation.
Does SENNZE supply hardware and software?
SENNZE develops the technology chain that links the operation to the information, including acquisition hardware where the application needs it, firmware, communication, processing and platform. The final composition depends on what already exists on site.
How does a new application start?
It starts by understanding the process, the data available, the constraints of the environment and what needs to be monitored. From that it is possible to define whether SENNZE applies to the problem and which architecture makes sense.

Show us the operation. That is where the engineering starts.
An old machine, a remote process, a manual station or a variable that today never reaches management: present the scenario and SENNZE assesses the application.
