§01 — PRODUCT
One box. Three jobs. Done right.
SENSAT is not a generic industrial PC and not a cloud platform. It is purpose-built hardware running purpose-built AI on a purpose-built sensor network — shipped as a single subsystem.

Gateway
Sensor Nodes
Local AI
A ruggedized edge compute platform built for industrial environments. Three tiers scale from a single skid to a multi-line facility. Native support for every common industrial protocol, certified-ready for IEC 62443 environments.
A catalog of GBX-designed sensor nodes covering nine measurement categories: temperature, humidity, pressure, vibration, flow, level, current, gas, and AI vision. Wired (Modbus, IO-Link, analog) or wireless (LoRaWAN, BLE).
Models run on the gateway. Not in the cloud, not on a customer's server somewhere — on the device, next to the equipment. Predictive maintenance, anomaly detection, energy optimization, and increasingly, agentic workflows.
§02 — ARCHITECTURE
How SENSAT sits in your plant.
SENSAT lives on the information plane — adjacent to your PLCs, not replacing them. It ingests data from the field, runs models locally, and publishes structured insights northbound to whatever stack you already use.

↓ INFORMATION LAYER
SENSAT ingests from GBX-designed sensor nodes and any third-party device speaking a standard industrial protocol. PLCs stay in charge of control; SENSAT operates in parallel on the information plane.
Protocol translation, on-device historian, and AI inference all live inside the gateway. Models run locally — your data never has to leave the building.
Northbound integration via MQTT/Sparkplug B, OPC-UA, or REST. Drop SENSAT into your existing SCADA, your existing cloud, or your existing CMMS — or run it stand-alone.
§03 — TIERS
Three sizes. Same DNA.
SENSAT scales from a single skid to a multi-line facility without changing the software stack. Pick the tier that matches the deployment — switch tiers without retraining your team.

§04 — CONNECTIVITY
PLCs are everywhere. So are vibration sensors, flowmeters, BMS controllers, and a thousand kinds of legacy I/O. SENSAT handles the whole surface.
Speaks industrial. Natively.
Built for brownfield reality.
MODBUS RTU · MODBUS TCP · OPC-UA · MQTT / SPARKPLUG B · BACNET IP · 4–20 mA · 0–10 V · RTD / TC · DIGITAL I/O
Most industrial sites are not greenfield. They are a layered archaeology of equipment from the last thirty years. SENSAT was designed for that — Modbus next to OPC-UA next to a 4–20 mA loop next to a LoRaWAN sensor on the roof.
For deep PLC integrations on the floor (PROFINET, EtherNet/IP), SENSAT supports certified protocol modules so you don't trade reliability for connectivity.
A growing catalog of sensor nodes designed by GBX to plug straight into SENSAT — pre-calibrated, pre-provisioned, pre-secured. Bring your own sensors too, of course.

§06 — APPLICATIONS
Where SENSAT earns its place.
SENSAT is general-purpose by design, vertical-ready by configuration. These are the deployments where it works hardest.
● LIVE DEPLOYMENT
VERTICAL · F&B / PHARMA
Cooling towers & HVAC equipment
Cold chain & commercial refrigeration
SENSAT was first deployed inside cooling-tower equipment, monitoring water temperature, fan vibration, motor current, and ambient conditions in real time — running predictive maintenance and efficiency models on the gateway itself. The same pattern fits chillers, dry coolers, evaporative condensers, CRAC/CRAH units, and heat pumps.
Supermarket refrigeration racks, blast chillers, pharma cold storage, refrigerated transport. SENSAT catches temperature excursions and compressor faults early, with compliance-grade audit trails — locally, even when the connection drops.
VERTICAL · UTILITIES
VERTICAL · BUILDINGS
VERTICAL · DATA CENTERS
Water & wastewater
Smart buildings & BMS
Data center mechanical infrastructure
Pump stations, lift stations, filtration, aeration. SENSAT bridges legacy PLCs with modern AI for energy optimization and predictive maintenance, in plants that often have no engineer on site.
Optimal HVAC control, occupancy-driven ventilation, ESG / carbon reporting, predictive maintenance on rooftop units. BACnet-native — drops into existing BMS without rip-and-replace.
CDUs, rear-door heat exchangers, immersion-cooling loops. The cooling intelligence inside the AI factories that are powering everything else.
VERTICAL · OEM PARTNERS
Equipment OEMs — ship intelligence in the box
If you build industrial equipment and your customers are asking for "connected," "smart," or "AI-powered" versions of it — SENSAT is the subsystem that gets you there in a quarter, not a year. Co-branded SKUs, OEM bill-of-materials, custom firmware modules. Skip the 18-month internal build.
§07 — WHY SENSAT
Three things nobody else ships together.
There are great gateways. There are great sensor networks. There are great AI platforms. SENSAT is the only product that ships all three as one subsystem — local-first.
─── 01 / LOCAL AI
─── 02 / ONE SUBSYSTEM
─── 03 / OEM-NATIVE
The data never has to leave.
Hardware + sensors + AI, in one purchase order.
Designed to be inside your product.
Inference runs on the gateway. No cloud round-trip, no egress fees, no third-party data exposure. GDPR-friendly by construction. Works air-gapped. Survives the day the internet doesn't.
You don't integrate three vendors. You don't write a glue layer between a Moxa box, a fleet of Augury sensors, and a Litmus license. SENSAT is one part number, one warranty, one support contract.
Co-branded SKUs, OEM-friendly BOM economics, custom firmware modules. GBX has been building embedded systems for over a decade — SENSAT is shaped by what equipment makers actually need to ship.
