Synengco’s beginnings were a result of CEO Don Sands’s vision to systematize decision-making in dynamic industries.
While consulting within the energy industry, Don observed that some decisions being made were not necessarily correct if you analysed the data. Repeated failures of machinery, the high cost of engineering repairs and the nonexistence of early warning mechanisms, triggered his desire to provide a better, more permanent solution for his clients.
Don’s desire to link the patterns found in historical data with real-time data, drove him to create a better tool. His small team then commenced building its own tool, SentientSystem, from the ground up. The aim was to move towards a model-based decision-making platform rather than a more traditional rule-based decision-making platform.
Synengco starts to consult to the power generation industry and develops simple tools to enhance the outcomes
Synengco applies real-time optimisation for intelligent soot blowing
Synengco finalises the productisation of SentientSystem. Initially, it is primarily used for the Coal Fired Power Generation industry.
Synengco participates in CSIRO research in fault detection and diagnostic solutions for buildings
SentientSystem now handles all types of power generation facilities, including gas, coal and renewables
Adapted SentientSystem® to handle all types of asset intensive and complex operations such as mining, defence, oil and gas.
Currently adapting SentientSystem® to be a generic decision platform for any complex operation
Through the Open Industrial Interoperability Ecosystem (OIIE) initiative, we are adapting SentientSystem to work with other solutions in different digital ecosystems
