BEET Platform
Real-Time Visibility. AI Insights. A Smarter Foundry.
The BEET Platform, previously known as ePVS, is the intelligence layer behind Sinto Smart Foundry® (SSF). ITt’s more than software – it’s a secure, AI-enabled tool that helps you see what’s happening on the floor in real time, understand where things are falling behind and act before problems become downtime.
BEET captures motion- and time-based data directly from your existing machines without the need for new sensors or equipment. The platform then uses advanced AI analytics and easy-to-use dashboards to deliver complete process visibility, enabling your team to respond proactively, improve performance and find opportunities hidden in plain sight.

Sequence View
Customizable Dashboards
Line Tab
One of many powerful dashboards available to visualize your operations in real time. With a clear view of line balance, cycle performance, downtime, and throughput, it’s easy to pinpoint bottlenecks, inefficiencies, or areas for improvement across every part of your line.
Shift Performance Dashboard
Stay on target, every shift. BEET’s real-time production dashboard gives your team instant visibility into hourly output vs. goals – so you can spot issues, stay ahead of delays, and keep production on track. No guesswork. Just the facts, shift after shift.
FAQ
Common Questions:
1. What does a factory version of your BEET software cost?
➡ The system is scalable. Cost is based on a subscription model and on how many motions and events are monitored. Typically, we do a pilot project with the customer to review the tool live within your process. This way you see the value first hand and that an ROI is always less than six months.
2.What does your BEET software license fee?
➡The fee is based on Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) license model. A yearly subscription fee will be charged based on the number of motions and events monitored.
3.Are there additional charges for other support?
➡Support is included in the SaaS model. All software updates and technical support are included.
4.Is there an additional cost for drivers or other communications? For example, specific PLC types, databases or reporting tools?
➡As we utilize the cloud for computing there are minimal onsite requirements. We do need an onsite BEET Data Collector Appliance (EDCA / industrial computer) that would mount in a control panel. One EDCA can handle up to 20 PLC’s and approximately 5,000 motions on one subnet.
5.How many hours does it normally take to set up BEET per machine?
➡We create the driver offsite and time to create is based on the number of motions and events and the size of the production system. When we are onsite installing, it is approximately five to ten minutes per PLC. We can work with any PLC as long as there is an ethernet connection and the ability to get the data to the EDCA.
6.What about Security? Does data flow bi-directionally with BEET?
➡Data is a one-way push to the cloud and the system is web-based for viewing with authorizations. BEET only has read permissions, no write permissions.
7.Has BEET ever been used for any other purpose other than time analysis? If so what?
➡BEET can positively impact launch, daily production and maintenance:
i. New Launch of any Critical Application
> Line traceability and system supplier held accountable (Customer has visibility to keep supplier onsite till line meets performance criteria on each device)
> System integration support until lines run as intended
> 25% reduction in launch curve (based on new launch)
ii.Existing Line
> 1.5% EE improvement (minimum)
> 2.75% reduction in time to identify, solve and validate problems
> Predictive maintenance; predict and prevent at least 50% of the downtime
> BEET will guarantee a 3% minimum in throughput efficiency opportunities
➡ Customers utilize enVision as an ability to link quality issues to device level detail.
➡ enSight is our FIS system for production line monitoring.
8.What other products are being developed to integrate with BEET?
We are an open source product so we are working with some customers on integration into their existing systems.
9.What do you charge for an hour of engineering time?
NRE is charged as a one-time charge per area and number of motions and events.
10.What OEM products does enVision integrate with?
Examples: Wonderware, RSvView, Cimplicity We can plan to discuss anything that you want to integrate with.
