It does not have to be. Sennos offers flexible subscription plans that bundle hardware, software, and support into predictable monthly pricing, so you can avoid large upfront capital costs. Start with a few tanks, prove the value, and scale the system as your operation grows.
Sennos continuously measures fermentation conditions and compares each batch against your historical performance. When something starts to drift, your team gets notified early — before quality or yield is affected.
Yes. The Sennosystem connects across tanks and products, letting you view live data and status for each fermentation in one interface.
Sennos provides hands-on onboarding and ongoing support through dedicated Customer Success Managers. They guide your team in understanding dashboards, alerts, and analytics, showing how real-time insights tie directly to your production goals.
Real‑time fermentation data removes guesswork from key decisions. Teams can see trends, spot deviations earlier, and adjust conditions before small issues become costly problems.
Sennos continuously records critical fermentation metrics, creating a detailed digital record of your process. This makes it easier to demonstrate consistency and traceability, support quality assurance checks, and provide documentation that aligns with internal or external standards.
Sennosystem Product FAQs
Have questions about the Sennosystem or its components? This FAQ covers everything from sensors and analytics to setup and operation, helping you get the most out of our platform.
SennosM3 is the foundation of the Sennosystem. These modular, in-tank sensors capture high-density fermentation data directly from your tanks.
Sennos sensors continuously measure temperature, pH, gravity, and other key parameters, delivering real-time insights so you can track fermentation remotely without opening tanks.
No. Gravity is only one part of what Sennos monitors — and only one outcome of fermentation. While gravity-only tools focus on tracking a single curve, Sennos is designed to monitor the entire fermentation environment inside the tank. The Sennosystem combines in-tank sensors and analytics to measure gravity alongside other critical parameters such as temperature, pH, and pressure — all in real time.
This broader view helps brewers understand not just what is happening, but why it’s happening — enabling earlier intervention, better diagnostics, and more consistent results across batches.
- Detect problems earlier in the process
- Understand the root cause of fermentation variability
- Make informed adjustments before quality or yield are impacted
- Monitoring more than gravity turns fermentation tracking into fermentation control — not just observation.
Sennos combines real-time sensor data with AI-driven predictive analytics to detect deviations early, trigger alerts, and guide corrective actions.
The Sennosystem is designed for easy retrofitting. Users can self-install the SennosM3 hardware in minutes. It slides seamlessly into your tank's standard 1.5" sample port, secured by a tri-clamp.
SennosM3 sensors are designed for brewery environments and regular, easy cleaning with non-caustic detergents. Calibration and maintenance requirements depend on the sensor modules in use, and Sennos provides clear guidance and support to keep everything operating accurately over time.
Sennos integrates with common brewery software, MES platforms, and cloud analytics tools, providing a flexible, centralized view of your fermentation data.
Fermentation FAQs
Curious about the science behind fermentation and how Sennos makes it work? This FAQ answers technical questions about processes, measurements, and data insights, helping you understand how our platform supports smarter, more consistent fermentation.
SennosM3 sensors track key indicators like pH, gravity, and temperature in real time. Combined with AI analytics, these measurements reveal microbial activity patterns.
The Sennosystem continuously measures critical fermentation parameters and aggregates the data into intuitive dashboards. This gives teams a live view of batch progress and predictive insights.
Sennos provides professional, production-grade precision with the added benefit of continuous measurement. While lab tests give snapshots, Sennos delivers continuous, actionable data, allowing you to catch trends and deviations as they happen rather than after the fact.
Monitoring key fermentation parameters with technology provides continuous, real-time insight that manual sampling can’t. It saves time, reduces human error, and helps producers ensure consistent quality and safer products.
Yes. By collecting and analyzing data across batches, Sennos highlights patterns and deviations that impact quality, enabling teams to refine recipes, improve consistency, and optimize fermentation processes over time.
We are constantly enhancing our platform with new features, predictive insights, and improved automation to help producers optimize their operations.
