Sentinel V2.5
The Only Solution That Provides Guaranteed Thermal Runaway Immunity
We engineered Sentinel to be the world's first hardware Cyber-Kinetic Firewall. The core mandate leading the Sentinel Project is "Decouple Safety from Software". In the AI/Quantum Era we believe that the protection and survival of critical industrial and grid assets should not be left up to vulnerable software. Therefore, Sentinel takes safety and security and places it in hardware and silicon.
The Survival Core
sub-10-microsecond interdiction of faults that lead to catastrophic destruction
We engineered the Sentinel Survival Core around one principle. Truth Through Physics. All else flows downstream of that mandate. In the AI/Quantum Era software and networks can easily be infiltrated, spoofed, and misled into operating under parameters that may not exist in the monitored asset's environmental context. Tough lessons were learned in the wake of the "Stuxnet" attack. Software can report data that is spoofed while an asset is being commanded to operate in unsafe or destructive states. Therefore, all decisions must be made with data gathered by measuring ground truth physics.
The moment Sentinel's advanced sensor applications detect destructive anomalies that exist outside of defined thresholds, the sub-10-microsecond Survival Core interdicts the commanded behavior by opening the circuit to the asset.
The ARGOS AI Core
Sentinel's faithful vigilant AI guardian
By decoupling safety from software, we also had to decouple AI from software and the cloud. That's why we hardcoded our ARGOS AI core into silicon and placed it directly next to the source of ground truth physics. While the Survival Core interdicts the destruction from picosecond transients and environmental contexts, the ARGOS Core is analyzing and processing hundreds of thousands of analog signals per second with the mission of identifying long term patterns in the behavior of an asset.
This data is then sent to our proprietary ARGOS AI Dashboard/API where asset owners and operators can make decisions for predictive maintenance, forensics, actuarial purposes, or business analytics.
The First Three
1
TACTICAL
Designed to prevent thermal runaway of li-ion assets within the military's 6T li-ion battery fleet and prevent batteries from self-discharging due to BMS lockouts caused by transient charging bus faults or BMS fault code lockouts.
2
ELECTRIC VEHICLE
Designed to make thermal runaway in electric vehicle
li-ion batteries mathematically impossible and provide microsecond scale battery state of health based on measurements from the internal cell chemistry - utilizes ARGOS AI and cell chemistry measurements to determine the useful life remaining
3
GRID BATTERY STORAGE
Transforms Battery Energy Storage Systems into facilities that are mathematically immune to thermal runaway. Allows BESS facility owners the ability to expand into communities that require stricter safety standards and regulatory compliance - potentially saving upwards of 30% on insurance costs where insurability is in crisis.
We are a deep tech startup that engineered a universal solution
Right now, established firms, hardware and tech companies are focused on advanced gas and smoke detectors, better HVAC solutions, and other products that tinker around the edge. The hard truth is that if there's smoke and gas, thermal runaway has already started. Better HVAC systems are not able to monitor the internal cell physics of a lithium ion deployment.
Sentinel V2.5 detects and interdicts lithium ion thermal runaway the very microsecond a single internal cell short tries to ignite. Sentinel is the only solution that is able to offer absolute thermal runaway immunity guaranteed by Truth Through Physics and Security at the Speed of Silicon.
