Resources & engineering guidance

Practical guidance, short playbooks, and technical notes to support industrial data integration and rollout planning. Use these materials to help teams get started and to support engineering decisions about integration and architecture.

If you’d like tailored technical documentation or integration notes for your environment, contact us and we’ll arrange a discussion with our engineering team.

Example questions to ask Sentinel
  • “How do I add a part to an asset?”
  • “Show me how to log a new EM from the line.”
  • “How do I add a new downtime reason for Line 3?”
  • “Where can I see a summary of this week’s EMs by area?”
  • “How do I invite a new maintenance tech and set their access?”

As you roll out to more sites, you can extend these Q&A patterns with your own playbooks, checklists, and best practices.

Guidance and Q&A

Practical in-product guidance can help operators and technicians follow standard workflows. For site-specific guidance, we work with your team to capture playbooks and procedures.

  • Plain-language guidance for common tasks
  • Context-aware pointers to the right workflows
  • Operator checklists and quick-start steps
Rollout
Quick-start guides

Short, role-based guides and templates to help get a site started without large up-front projects.

  • Operator: common logging and incident workflows
  • Technician: triage and close-out steps
  • Supervisor: boards and monitoring practices
  • Admin: mapping sites, areas, and permissions

We keep public resources minimal and focus on tailored guidance during engagements.

Templates
Planning templates

Templates and starter structures to help you map site hierarchy, downtime reasons, and rollout tasks.

  • Site / area / line / asset mapping starter
  • Downtime reason tree examples
  • Roles and responsibilities templates for rollout

Contact us if you need these templates adapted for your systems.

Technical
Integration & IT notes

High-level guidance for engineering and IT teams about integrating operational signals and systems.

  • Integration patterns for CMMS, ERP, and MES
  • Options for signal collection from historians and PLCs
  • High-level data-in / data-out considerations
  • Security and environment separation principles

For detailed technical documentation, contact us and we will arrange secure transfer of relevant materials.
