Abstract:  
SINCE 2009, Sentenso in Datteln, Germany has provided intelligent and innovative tools for process and quality management in shot peening. With the ongoing digitalization in industry, plus increasing complexity and growing demands at the same time, the company is rapidly developing from an equipment supplier to a system engineering provider with strong R&D activities. The sentenso team has two engineers; one physicist; four technicians for product design, electrical control systems and programming; one quality inspector; and three employees for marketing, sales and administration. sentenso’s founder and manager Volker Schneidau describes the company this way: “Our evolution is the consequence of challenges that customers brought up. For our development it has always been crucial that we do not just resell products from a limited range. Our customers expect advanced services such as product support, calibration and repair. Moreover we need to introduce and develop new equipment that fulfills extended technical requirements. Finally we are facing growing demands in automation and digitalization for smart peening solutions.”
