PACKAGING LINE ONBOARDING

Set up Sentinel for your packaging line

This form collects the information we need to calibrate Sentinel for your packaging environment. Sentinel learns normal behaviour across your line — controller, motion, pneumatic, inspection, and quality signals — and detects deviation early, before conventional alarms and thresholds react.

Sensor-agnostic. It works with any combination of PLC tags, servo drives, pneumatic sensors, seal bars, inspection systems, OEE counters, and environmental sensors. If your line produces data, Sentinel can learn from it.

No new hardware. Sentinel works on the data your existing controllers, SCADA, and line monitoring already produce. Upload 48+ hours of baseline data and we typically return an initial calibration response within 24 hours.

Building an intelligence asset

Every line you monitor with Sentinel builds a structured record of equipment behaviour — normal patterns, fault signatures, degradation trajectories, recipe-specific drift. Over time, this becomes a valuable intelligence asset. Equipment OEMs and packaging machinery manufacturers need exactly this kind of real-world reliability data but can rarely obtain it from production environments. Your monitored estate isn't a cost — it's an investment that grows in value with every production run.

Sentinel can estimate OEE impact even without existing tracking.
Sentinel can link anomalies to per-pack carbon impact (ISO 16759 context).
MONITORING & INTEGRATION

How your line data works

PLC, PAC, SCADA, DCS, or MES — whatever controls or collects data from the line.
Please enter your control platform
Please select deployment model
Please select at least one access method
Please select polling interval
Please select at least one sensor channel
Sentinel can segment anomaly detection by product/recipe for cleaner baselines.
State segmentation lets Sentinel score anomalies only during run, with wider tolerance during warmup/startup.
Used to select appropriate infrastructure region.
Avoids misalignment when correlating with incident times and shift patterns.
Gives us a heads-up on dimensionality before opening the file.
CALIBRATION DATA

Upload your line data

What to upload

To calibrate Sentinel for your packaging line, we need at least 48 hours of continuous production data from normal operation — ideally covering multiple production runs and at least one recipe changeover.

  • A timestamp column (any standard date/time format)
  • As many sensor / PLC tag channels as you have
  • Data from a single line or machine cell
  • Recipe or SKU identifier if available
  • Machine state (run/idle/changeover) if available

Column names: Don't worry about matching specific names — just export what your system gives you. We map the columns during calibration.

Accepted formats: CSV, XLSX, XLS, ZIP

Maximum file size: 50 MB per file.

If your data is larger than 50 MB, submit the form without the file and we'll arrange a secure upload link. You can also submit a representative subset.

Bonus: If you have data from a period where a known fault occurred (seal failure, air leak, servo trip, reject spike), upload it separately and describe the incident below.

PERMISSIONS & CONSENT

Data handling and consent

Data Handling Notice

  • Uploaded raw sensor and PLC data is retained only for evaluation, calibration, validation, and agreed support activity, then deleted in line with Sentinel's retention policy.
  • Do not upload personal data unless specifically agreed.
  • Operational sensor data should be limited to what is needed for calibration and evaluation.
  • Submission metadata and non-sensitive onboarding details may be retained for account, audit, and commercial follow-up purposes.

Data Intelligence & Partner Rights

  • Anonymised, aggregated fault intelligence derived from monitoring data may be made available to packaging machinery manufacturers and industry bodies to improve product reliability and performance.
  • Individual line or site data is never shared with third parties without explicit written agreement.
  • Partners retain commercial rights over insights derived from their monitored estate.
  • Any commercial use of aggregated intelligence is subject to separate agreement between Sparse Supernova and the contributing partner.
