How it works

Engineering timeline, compressed

Project timeline from enquiry through requirements, concept design, costing, proposal, award, detailed design, controls design, build and commissioning. Sentie covers requirements through detailed design, spanning the award.

AI drafted. Human reviewed.

  • Concept design

    24 hours

    to first concept

    Previously: 2–4 weeks

    Work starts the day requirements land, not when an engineer finally frees up.

  • Proposal

    50%

    lower pre-sales cost

    Previously: weeks of engineering per bid

    Concept, costing and proposal drafted in one pass — far less of your team's time sunk into bids before there's a PO.

  • Detailed design

    80%

    less engineering time

    Previously: weeks of revisions

    A fabrication-ready package without the offshore back-and-forth to get there.

Illustrative figures — we'll model them on your own projects.

01

Requirements

Whatever you were sent, turned into a spec.

  • RFQs, drawings, sketches, photos, call notes
  • Parts, rates, interfaces and constraints pulled out
  • Gaps flagged before you quote
  • Requirement set
  • Open questions
  • Assumption log

02

Process & trade-off studies

The how, settled before the what.

  • Process flow and station-by-station sequence
  • Cycle time, takt and throughput
  • Station counts tested against your target rate
  • Sequence of operations
  • Cycle time
  • Line balance
  • Trade-off study

03

Concept engineering

The cell, in 3D, in 24 hours.

  • Stations, robots, conveyors and operator access
  • Major equipment selected, footprint checked
  • A model your customer can follow, not a spreadsheet
  • 3D model
  • Animation
  • Cell layout
  • Equipment list

04

Costing & proposal

Priced off your history, written in your template.

  • Costed BOM from your vendors and rate cards
  • Labor hours by discipline
  • Proposal in your format — or your customer's
  • Costed BOM
  • Labor hours
  • Timeline
  • Proposal
Two detailed design timelines on the same three-week scale. An offshore loop runs four revision cycles and releases on day 21. Sentie runs one revision cycle and releases on day 4.

05

Detailed design

Fabrication-ready, in fewer cycles.

  • Models, assemblies, part detailing, weldments
  • GD&T and a released BOM
  • Same team that concepted it — fewer revision loops
  • 3D models
  • Detail drawings
  • GD&T
  • Released BOM

How we work

Built for people who work with other people's IP

  • Confidential

    Every engagement begins under a mutual NDA. Your customer's drawings, specifications and commercial terms remain theirs throughout.

  • Private

    Your drawings, pricing and vendor terms are never used to train our models. They serve your project and no one else's.

  • Secure

    Stored and processed in US cloud regions, encrypted in transit and at rest. On request, every file we hold is deleted along with anything derived from it.

FAQ

Questions we get asked

Who is Sentie for?

Custom automation integrators and machine builders delivering one-off turnkey systems.

Can we try it before committing?

Yes. Your first concept is free, and for detailed design we'll detail one part at no charge. Either way you're judging the output on your own job rather than on a demo. Mutual NDA first, before anything changes hands.

What does it cost?

Pricing is custom, based on volume. Get in touch and we'll quote your job.

Can you take on detailed design for a job we concepted ourselves?

Yes. We don't need to have done the concept. Send us the concept, the requirements and any constraints you're working to, and we'll pick it up from there.

Do you cover controls and electrical design?

Not yet. Today we cover requirements through mechanical detailed design. Controls and electrical are on the roadmap; build and commissioning stay with your team.

What CAD do you work in?

SolidWorks. If your team standardises on something else, tell us before we start — we'd rather confirm up front than hand back files your engineers can't open.

Is a person actually checking the work?

Yes. AI does the drafting; a senior engineer who has built this kind of machine reviews every package before it reaches you. Nothing ships on the strength of a model alone, and nothing reaches your customer without your own sign-off.

Who owns what you produce?

You do. Everything is delivered under a mutual NDA and goes to your customer under your name. Your drawings, pricing and vendor terms are never used to train our models.
