Industrial digitization is a strategic priority, but most plants have very diverse machinery with different levels of automation.
At Zentinel MDS, we offer a practical, modular and cost-effective approach to digitizing any machine, whether old or modern, and connecting production with your company's management systems.
ZenitnelMDS offers you a progressive implementation model that allows you to obtain measurable results from the first week with controlled investments and without the need to replace your existing machinery.
Install a ZentONE system to measure the performance of your first machine and obtain objective and continuous information about its production.
Measure production, rejections and downtime in real time.
Automatically calculate the General Efficiency of the Equipment (OEE).
Record and visualize machine data locally, without relying on the corporate network or the cloud.
It doesn't matter the type of machine, its age or level of automation.
ZentONE is installed in a few minutes without modifying the machines.
Once you have reliable machine data, the next step is to connect that information with your enterprise management system (ERP) to synchronize production planning and execution.
ZentOPS is a software module that connects ZentONE's real-time information with the company's ERP, without the need for a traditional MES system.
With ZentOPS you can:
Send and receive order information directly with your ERP using standard communication mechanisms such as REST API or Webhooks
Allow the operator to select and manage the active production order on a digital workstation.
Automate the link between actual production and planning.
Once the system is validated on one machine, you can quickly replicate it on other machines for a fully digital view of your plant's production.
Install a ZentONE system with ZentOPS on each machine.
Add new ZentNode adapters to digitize specific signals such as temperatures, pressures, consumption or vibrations
Analyze the performance of each machine, batch, operator, shift or type of product and easily identify opportunities for improvement
We know that traditional solutions to monitor factory operation are expensive, complex and require long implementation times
ZentONE with ZentOPS is an innovative solution that allows you to automatically record the production data of the machines and integrate them with the business management systems (ERP)
ZentONE is installed quickly on your existing machines, without making modifications, without access to the machine control system and without stopping production.
Real-time and historical information about the performance of your lines is instantly available, from any device on the ZentONE Ethernet network
View custom production dashboards on ZentEdge
Access historical data in the ZentEdge SQL database from any system with SQL connectivity

The ZentEdge microserver stores in its memory weeks or months of machine operation data such as units produced every minute, downtime, consumption, OEE, etc
The information in ZentONE is instantly available to generate reports with spreadsheets, to integrate it into your MES or ERP systems or analyze it with artificial intelligence tools that will allow you to identify opportunities for improvement in your production
By not interfering with the control system of the machine, ZentONE is compatible with all types of machinery, regardless of their age or level of automation
ZentONE installs in a few minutes by plant maintenance staff and does not require the use of programming tools.
Integration with the factory's IT systems is immediate, thanks to the use of standard IT protocols and technologies such as Ethernet TCP/IP, MQTT, HTML, TLS and SQL
The ZentEdge microserver is a robust device designed to operate in industrial environments. Its compact and impact and vibration resistant design makes it ideal for use in factories or warehouses.
ZentEdge includes all the necessary services to operate autonomously, without depending on the internet. It has database and application servers that allow the collection and processing of data in real time, guaranteeing the privacy and security of the information.
ZentNode simplifies access to machine data by directly connecting sensor signals and sending processed data to via MQTT to information systems.

Measurement of energy consumption using standard current transformers with 4-20 mA output.
Calculate maximum, minimum and average values in the defined time interval.
Generates MQTT alerts if energy consumption deviates from the defined limits.
Monitoring of machine vibrations according to ISO-10816 standard, using vibration sensors with 4-20 mA output.
Calculate maximum, minimum and average values in the defined time interval.
Generates MQTT alerts if the vibration of the machine deviates from the limits according to the ISO-10816 standard.
I/O Adapter with two 24VDC channels configurable as Input or Output independently
The status of the I/S channels is published to the MQTT Topic in the designated Broker
The outputs are activated according to the state of the MQTT Topic subscribed to the Broker
Typical Applications
Monitoring and remote control of actuators (motors, pumps...)
Reading of local warning signs (lack of material, machine stop...)
Digitization of operator panels
Integrates Modbus RTU devices with RS-485 interface into the ZentONE system
Provides read and write access to the data of:
PID controllers
Scales
Process instruments
etc
ZentNode is easy to install and maintain
Without programming controllers
Without modifying the machines
Without configuring networks or drivers
ZentNode uses TLS encryption to ensure data integrity and to protect your installation from possible cyber attacks
The use of standard protocols guarantees compatibility of your applications for production management.
ZentNode can be applied to all types of machines, regardless of their age or control technology.
Based on the Single Pair Ethernet technology of Perinet GmbH, ZentNet allows topologies that are easily adapted to the needs of any application
ZentNet is designed to be used in demanding industrial environments. Its components have IP67 protection and can work in a temperature range from -25ºC to 75ºC
By combining data and power in a single cable, ZentNet simplifies the connection to sensors distributed in the field
