Introduction to SensorUp: A Configurable Emissions Management Platform

Welcome to SensorUp! We provide an enterprise-grade, configurable emissions management platform designed to help organizations like yours tackle the most pressing emissions challenges and drive significant reduction at scale. Our platform integrates your diverse data sources, streamlines complex workflows, and provides the actionable insights needed to achieve your sustainability and operational excellence goals.
SensorUp empowers you to move beyond siloed data and manual processes, offering a unified, adaptable solution that accelerates your emissions reduction journey.

The Challenge: Managing Emissions in a Complex Landscape

Effectively managing and reducing emissions presents numerous hurdles:
  • Data Overload & Silos: Data from sensors, inspections, operational systems, and third-party feeds is often voluminous, disparate, and difficult to consolidate for a holistic view.
  • Evolving Regulations & Market Demands: Keeping pace with complex, changing compliance requirements (GHGRP, OGMP 2.0, Veritas) and voluntary market standards is a constant effort.
  • Operationalizing Insights: Translating raw data into actionable steps for field teams, operational adjustments, and strategic decisions can be slow and inefficient.
  • Scaling Reduction Efforts: Moving from pilot projects to enterprise-wide emissions reduction requires robust, scalable systems and processes.
  • The “Build vs. Buy” Dilemma: Developing a comprehensive, in-house emissions management solution is a massive undertaking, requiring significant time, specialized expertise, ongoing maintenance, and can divert focus from core business activities.

The SensorUp Solution: Configuration & Integration at Scale

SensorUp addresses these challenges by providing a configurable platform, not a rigid, one-size-fits-all product. We understand that each organization has unique assets, operational workflows, and reporting needs. Our approach combines the power of a specialized, off-the-shelf platform with the flexibility to adapt to your specific environment. Key Pillars of Our Approach:
  1. Unified Data Foundation (Connected Assets): We start by helping you integrate and contextualize all your asset-related data, creating a single source of truth. (See Introduction to Connected Assets)
  2. Streamlined Action & Workflow (Connected Operations): We connect emission insights directly to field service actions and operational responses, automating and optimizing your workflows. (See Introduction to Connected Operations)
  3. Assured Compliance & Market Readiness (Connected Markets): We provide the tools for robust reconciliation, accurate reporting, and confident participation in regulatory and voluntary markets. (See Introduction to Connected Markets)
By integrating these pillars, SensorUp enables a continuous cycle of measurement, analysis, action, and reporting, all geared towards scalable emissions reduction.

Why Choose a Configurable Platform like SensorUp?

When considering how to tackle emissions management, the “build vs. buy” question is critical. Building a custom solution from scratch is resource-intensive and carries significant risk. SensorUp offers the advantages of a specialized platform while providing the configurability you need:

Accelerate Time-to-Impact & Reduction

Leverage a feature-rich platform built on years of emissions management expertise. Instead of spending 12-24+ months building a foundational system, you can start configuring SensorUp to your needs and seeing results much faster, accelerating your progress towards reduction targets.
Your expertise lies in your core operations, not in building and maintaining complex enterprise software for emissions. SensorUp handles the underlying platform architecture, data models, security, scalability, and ongoing evolution, allowing your teams to focus on what they do best: reducing emissions and optimizing operations.
SensorUp is built with deep knowledge of emissions sources, regulatory frameworks (OGMP 2.0, GHGRP, Veritas), data standards (ISO 19156:2023), and industry best practices. This expertise is embedded in our platform, saving you the effort of acquiring and maintaining it internally.
Our platform is designed to scale with your needs, from managing a few assets to tens of thousands, and handling increasing data volumes from diverse sources. We continuously update SensorUp to incorporate new technologies, integrate with emerging data providers, and adapt to evolving regulatory landscapes, future-proofing your investment.
“Configurable” means you can tailor SensorUp to your specific asset hierarchies, data source schemas, business rules, workflows, and reporting formats primarily through setup and configuration UIs, low-code tools, and well-defined APIs—without extensive custom software development for every need. This provides flexibility while retaining the benefits of a standardized, supported platform.
A major challenge in any emissions program is integrating data. SensorUp is designed for this, offering multiple pathways – from low-code connectors to direct data feeds (S3, SFTP) and managed integrations – to connect your existing systems and new data sources efficiently.
