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:- 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)
- 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)
- 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)
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
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.
Focus on Your Core Mission, Not Software Development
Focus on Your Core Mission, Not Software Development
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.
Benefit from Deep Domain Expertise & Best Practices
Benefit from Deep Domain Expertise & Best Practices
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.
Achieve True Scalability & Future-Proofing
Achieve True Scalability & Future-Proofing
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.
Harness the Power of Configuration, Not Custom Code
Harness the Power of Configuration, Not Custom Code
“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.
Comprehensive Integration Capabilities
Comprehensive Integration Capabilities
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. (See Getting Started
with Integrations)
