Contribution: Industrial Research Assistance Program – Contributions to Firms

Alert Labs Inc.

$325,000.00

Sentree2: Air conditioner monitor

FY 2020-21 · 2020-04-01

Summary
Sentree2 will address some of the early market fit and customer expectation problems that have prevented the existing Sentree product from scaling through Alert Labs’ extensive HVAC distribution channel. Sentree2 will aim to improve the value of the existing Sentree product by improving Alert Labs’ ability to accurately detect and notify customers of AC function anomalies. This includes improving the quality and reliability of the data that we are receiving from the monitoring device and creating a new way to analyze the data so that each unique configuration can be analyzed and understood when an HVAC system starts misbehaving.

Description
Sentree2 will address some of the early market fit and customer expectation problems that have prevented the existing Sentree product from scaling through Alert Labs’ extensive HVAC distribution channel. Sentree2 will aim to improve the value of the existing Sentree product by improving Alert Labs’ ability to accurately detect and notify customers of AC function anomalies. This includes improving the quality and reliability of the data that we are receiving from the monitoring device and creating a new way to analyze the data so that each unique configuration can be analyzed and understood when an HVAC system starts misbehaving.
Description (French)
Sentree2 s'attaquera à certains des premiers problèmes d'adaptation au marché et d'attente des clients qui ont empêché le produit Sentree existant de prendre de l'essor dans le vaste réseau de distribution de CVCA d'Alert Labs. Sentree2 visera à améliorer la valeur du produit Sentree existant en améliorant la capacité d'Alert Labs à détecter avec précision et à notifier les clients des anomalies de fonctionnement des systèmes de climatisation. Il s'agit notamment d'améliorer la qualité et la fiabilité des données que nous recevons du dispositif de surveillance et de créer une nouvelle façon d'analyser les données afin que chaque configuration unique puisse être analysée et comprise lorsqu'un système de CVCA commence à mal fonctionner.
