Podcast episode summary

In this episode Björn and Jordi detail their partnership where Perinet supplies the hardware, while Zentinel adds value through software and integration.

They explain that Perinet’s technology involves Single Pair Ethernet (SPE), which allows for data communication and power over a single cable, facilitating easier and more flexible data acquisition. Their periNODEs, small adapters attached to field devices, locally process signals and transmit data in real-time using MQTT, either to local or cloud-based systems. This approach bypasses traditional PLC and SCADA systems, making digitalization simpler and less invasive.

Zentinel leverages Perinet’s technology to offer tailored solutions, particularly focusing on calculating metrics like Overall Equipment Efficiency (OEE) in real-time directly at the machine level. This eliminates the need for extensive data processing infrastructure and provides immediate, actionable insights.

The discussion concludes with information on upcoming trade fairs and an invitation for new partners to collaborate with Perinet and Zentinel.
