Sentinel

Sentinel reads the state of every device continuously. The moment a value crosses a threshold, the alert reaches us and the intervention gets scheduled, before the failure shows on your side.

  • Continuous readings
  • No emergency rates
  • Ten-year service life in view
How it works

From threshold to response, in seconds.

None of it goes through you. The chain starts at the probe and ends in our schedule.

  1. 1

    The threshold

    You decide what counts as abnormal on your site. A meeting room and a stage do not share a tolerance.

  2. 2

    The reading

    Sentinel reads temperature, service hours and link status continuously, device by device.

  3. 3

    The alert

    The moment a value crosses the threshold, it reaches us within seconds. Not in a weekly report.

  4. 4

    The response

    It gets scheduled while the device is still drifting. Remote where possible, on site when it takes hands.

What Sentinel reads

Device by device, not a rack average.

An average hides exactly the part that is drifting. The probe reads every device separately, and that is what makes the alert useful.

  • Service hours

    Every lamp, every fan, every hour counted. End of life announces itself instead of arriving.

  • Temperature and airflow

    A rack running hot shows up weeks before it gives out.

  • Link status

    Network errors, restarts, signal loss. What almost always precedes a visible failure.

  • Thresholds set with you

    We read for a few weeks, then set the thresholds against what your equipment actually does, not against a datasheet.

  • The alert comes to us

    You have no dashboard to watch. That is our job, not yours.

  • Condition report

    Uptime, interventions, fleet condition. Ready to take to the board.

What the agreement covers

What you get, in writing.

  • 01

    A guaranteed response time

    Contractual, measured from the alert or your call, not from our availability.

  • 02

    Remote diagnosis first

    Most cases are settled without a visit, so without travel charges.

  • 03

    Planned maintenance

    Against the real wear Sentinel reports, not against an arbitrary calendar.

  • 04

    Your parts kept in stock

    We know your configuration, so we keep what it needs.

  • 05

    A loaner while it is out

    Your season does not stop because a unit is in the workshop.

  • 06

    A periodic condition report

    Uptime, interventions, fleet condition. Ready to take to the board.

  • 07

    Updates applied

    Manufacturer fixes installed during your quiet hours, not discovered during a failure.

  • 08

    One point of contact

    The same team that installed the system. Nobody to bring up to speed, no diagnosis to redo.

  • 09

    Your fleet inventory kept current

    Serial numbers, versions, install dates. What lets us order the right part the first time.

What is not covered is written down too: damage, third-party modifications, equipment outside our fleet. We would rather write it than discover it together.

Why it costs less

The purchase price is not the cost.

Over ten years, what weighs is not the price of the hardware: it is the day the screen will not come on before a shareholders meeting, the call billed at the emergency rate, and the part nobody can find because the supplier changed its line.

An agreement does not make the purchase cheaper. It makes the next nine years predictable.

The numeric response time belongs to your agreement: it depends on your fleet and on what downtime costs you. It is written in the signed contract, not on this page.

What it changes

The same ten years, seen from both sides.

Without an agreement
  • You find out about the failure when the screen stays dark
  • The emergency call is billed at the emergency rate
  • The diagnosis starts from scratch on every call
  • The part is off the catalogue three years later
  • The replacement lands before the end of useful life
  • The maintenance budget is discovered after the fact
  • Every call starts over with a technician who does not know the room
With an agreement and Sentinel
  • Sentinel flags the drift before the failure
  • Covered work is billed at the agreed rate
  • Your configuration is already documented with us
  • Your parts are kept in stock
  • Maintenance follows real wear, not a calendar
  • A figure known in advance, not a run of emergencies
  • The same team as the install, from end to end
