Sentinai: The data digitization gateway to connect any legacy lab instrument to your network
Sentinai: Ending the era of isolated data
In every laboratory, countless “legacy instruments” from various brands—such as analytical balances, torque testers, and leak testers—are still in service. They work perfectly but lack network connectivity, creating “islands” of data. Manual transcription is not only time-consuming but also fraught with the risk of human error.

The Sentinai Data Digitization Device emerges as an elegant bridge, enabling these older instruments to communicate with the modern digital world and paving the way for a truly paperless laboratory.
Why is sentinai a groundbreaking solution?
Sentinai is a compact physical device that acts as an intelligent converter, capable of capturing, storing, and transmitting data from instruments with an RS232 port to your network.
The unique advantages of sentinai:
Connect any device, any brand: With up to 4 connectivity ports, Sentinai can work with almost any legacy instrument from any brand, as long as it has an RS232 communication port.
Inbuilt storage, no data loss: Each port on the Sentinai has massive internal memory, capable of storing over 200,000 reports. Even if the network fails, data is stored securely and will be transmitted once connectivity is restored.
Automated workflow, towards a paperless lab: Data is automatically captured and transferred to a Server (FTP/SMB), LIMS, MES, or a network printer as a PDF/CSV file. This completely eliminates manual logging and can replace up to 4 physical printers.
Smart machine learning option: Advanced versions of Sentinai are equipped with machine learning capabilities, opening up potential for advanced data analysis and the detection of unusual trends.

Frequently asked questions (faq) about sentinai
1. What is sentinai?
Sentinai is a hardware device (a small box) that acts as a connectivity gateway. It captures data from older instruments via their RS232 port, digitizes it, and sends it over the network (LAN/WiFi) to your desired destination.
2. What kind of instruments can i connect to sentinai?
You can connect any instrument from any brand, provided it has an RS232 data output port. Examples include electronic balances, pH meters, viscometers, leak testers, and more.
3. Do i need to install any software on my pc?
No. This is a major advantage. Sentinai operates independently and requires no software installation on a PC, making deployment incredibly simple.
4. What happens if the network connection is lost? Is my data lost?
No. Sentinai has a very large internal memory to buffer data. When the network is down, data is saved securely within the device. It will automatically transmit the data once the network is restored.
Conclusion
Don’t let your legacy instruments slow down your digital transformation. Sentinai is a small investment that yields enormous benefits: enhancing data integrity, saving time, reducing paper and ink costs, and bringing your laboratory one step closer to the “Industry 4.0” model.
