Unlike cloud-based systems or manual inventory methods, Keg Sentry is a fully standalone solution that delivers real-time, keg level inventory without reliance on softare, cloud infrastructue, or manual processes.
The system uses a modular, one-to-one architecture in which each keg is equipped with a dedicated monitor module and flow sensor. This design enables precise measurement and allows the system to acale linearly with the number of taps.
Keg Sentry System Features
Keg Sentry is designed as a hardware-first platform that prioritizes simplicity, reliability, and scalable deployment. Its core features include:
-
No Single Point of Failure — A failure typically affects only a single tap, not the entire monitoring system. A monitor module can simply be replaced with a spare.
-
No Software or Source-Code Dependency — Core measurement requires no operating system, application software, or cloud platform, minimizing cybersecurity exposure, software maintenance, and technology obsolescence.
-
Secure Wired Connectivity — Provides consistent, tamper-resistant communication without dependence on Wi-Fi, Internet connectivity, or cloud infrastructure.
-
Universal Wiring Architecture — Standardized connections simplify installation, replacement, inventory, and future system expansion.
-
Click-to-Calibrate — Enables fast, straightforward calibration during installation and simple recalibration whenever required.
-
Integrated 12 VDC Battery Backup — Telecommunications-grade backup power helps ensure uninterrupted monitoring and measurement continuity during power outages.
