Resources

Sentinel resources, powered by the Sentinel Assistant.

Instead of a 200-page manual, Sentinel Manufacturing Core Suite™ gives your team an AI assistant and a small set of focused playbooks. Ask plain-language questions, follow short guides, and keep people on the floor instead of hunting for answers.

Use this page to share starting points with new sites and teams. Inside the product, the Sentinel Assistant can walk users through the same workflows step by step.

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.

Ask Sentinel

The Sentinel Assistant is your in-product help center. Ask “How do I…?” and get step-by-step guidance instead of guessing through menus.

  • Plain-language Q&A for day-to-day tasks
  • Links to the right screen or dashboard
  • Context-aware tips based on your data model

Inside the app, look for the Sentinel Assistant icon to start a conversation.

Quick-start guides

Short, role-based guides for getting a plant live without a giant project.

  • Operator: logging EMs & downtime
  • Technician: triage, fixes, and close-out
  • Supervisor: boards, dashboards, and reports
  • Admin: sites, areas, lines, and permissions

These can be shared as PDFs or mirrored inside the Sentinel Assistant.

Rollout templates

Simple templates to help you map the plant and get data flowing cleanly.

  • Site / area / line / asset hierarchy
  • Downtime reason tree starter
  • EM categories & routing patterns
  • PM calendar examples by line or asset

Use them during planning, then let Sentinel keep the structure up to date.

Integration & IT notes

For IT and engineering teams that want to understand how Sentinel Manufacturing Core Suite™ fits into the existing stack.

  • High-level CMMS / ERP / MES integration patterns
  • Historian / PLC signal options for production and alarms
  • Data in / data out examples for reporting and CI teams
  • Security, SSO, and environment separation overview

Deeper technical documentation can be shared privately with your IT contacts.
