# Sense Manufacturing

> Machine intelligence and monitoring for small and midsize manufacturers. Track utilization, detect downtime, and spot failure warning signs before they become expensive. Installs on any machine in under 20 minutes. No drilling, no splicing, no IT required.

## Mission

Sense visited 100 shops in 100 days and found that small and midsize shops face the same costly problems as the largest manufacturers in the world, but the technology to solve them has always been priced out of reach. The mission: deliver fast, affordable technology that moves the needle on the shop floor without the complexity or unreasonable price tag.

## Who It's For

Small to mid-sized US manufacturers (machine shops, fabricators, job shops) with 5 to 100+ machines who lack real-time visibility into what their floor is doing.

## How It Works

Three hardware components clip or stick onto any machine, regardless of make, model, or age:

- **Control Unit**: processes data locally and sends to cloud, forward-compatible with new peripherals
- **Power Monitor**: clip-on sensor measuring power draw
- **Vibration Monitor**: stick-on sensor measuring vibration

Software views: Live Factory overview, Timeline, Automated Reports, Downtime Analysis, 24/7 Condition Monitoring, SMS & Email Notifications.

## Key Capabilities

- Real-time utilization dashboards across every machine
- Instant downtime alerts via SMS and email
- Early warning signals for mechanical issues before failure
- Downtime root cause analysis
- Automated reports on relative uptime
- Works on any machine without PLC integration or an electrician

## Pricing

- Hardware: up to $1,200/unit (one-time)
- Software: up to $70/month/unit
- No long-term commitments
- No minimum order quantities
- Volume discounts available
- Year 1: ~50% savings vs. alternatives
- Year 2+: ~75% savings vs. alternatives

Most shops see full payback in months from a single avoided downtime event or 10–15% improvement in utilization.

## Pilot Program

90-day standard pilot. 5+ units. 100% money-back guarantee on first order.

## Customer Results

- Brighton NC: +10% machine utilization in 21 days
- TFI: visibility into a legacy machine shop with no prior data
- Midwest HVAC Mfg Co.: fin press failure; Sense had been alerting on vibration and power days before the $50,000 breakdown
