What is the business/industrial problem they are solving?

Sento develops telemetry solutions based on IoT to generate better visibility into the production processes in the animal protein industry. In farms and industrial plants, there is often a lack of understanding of production processes, leading to inefficiencies and quality issues. With Sento’s IoT technology, physical and productive parameters such as temperature, water pH, and CO2 concentration can be monitored in real-time to ensure that processes are operating optimally and necessary improvements can be made. Sento’s technology is specifically designed for the agricultural sector, with a focus on working in remote areas with difficult access and in harsh environmental conditions.

Who are the targeted customers?

Animal protein indstry

Please provide evidence of how the nominated company demonstrates contribution to ROI generation and fast time-to-market in Mobility and Connectivity from the adoption of IoT solutions.

Sento has deployed monitoring equipment on more than 150 farms in Latin America and the United States, helping to improve farm productivity and facilitate control of the physical conditions in which farms operate.

Demonstrate how nominated company contributes to the effective adoption and advancement of IoT solutions by enhancing sustainability in Mobility and Connectivity practices.

With real-time monitoring of physical parameters involved in product processes, inefficiencies in the management of inputs can be reduced, for example by applying water acidifiers in a more optimal way, optimizing environmental conditions to improve the growth rate of animals, and monitoring the concentration of gases to reduce the mortality rate.

How has the nominated company demonstrated an ability to scale its services/offerings in a cost-effective manner to meet the needs of its customers?

Our technology’s main advantage is its effortless deployment. Our facilities require minimal civil and electrical infrastructure, and communication between devices is completely wireless. This way, there is a low initial investment, which makes scaling the technology much more manageable.
