Case Study – Pioneer Pump
Since 2017, Pioneer Pump has been a leader in applying telemetry to its diesel pump sets. That commitment has now been extended to its advanced electric pump sets. In collaboration with IPU, remote monitoring and control has been implemented using Senquip telemetry.
The challenge was to provide a robust system capable of handling complex Modbus communications, live fault diagnostics, and seamless remote adjustments across a range of drive settings. The Senquip solution delivered:
🌍 GPS tracking and geofencing
⚠️ Real-time status and fault alerts
🎮 Remote start/stop and speed control
📱Customisable alerts via SMS, and email
The result is a reliable, user-friendly dashboard with custom controls and widgets. Already deployed across a major UK rental fleet, the system improves efficiency, reduces costs, and enhances reliability. Pioneer Pump and IPU are now working on extending the functionality to multi-pump and standby applications.
Feature Update – Common Data Keys
To make it easier to compare data across different devices and machine types, Senquip has introduced a set of common data keys for scripts. These are fixed keys with standardised units that allow consistent reporting and easier analysis, regardless of the underlying machine.
For example:
The first set of common keys covers core engine and fuel metrics, including:
- Engine Hours, Idle Hours, Run Hours
- Fuel Consumption and Fuel Economy
- Engine Speed, Load, and Temperature
- Coolant, Oil, and Transmission levels, pressures, and temperatures
- Distance travelled and Fuel Level
The standardisation of these values enables Senquip Vision dashboards to show more meaningful fleetwide comparisons with simplified setup.
Python Script for Accesing Senquip API
The Senquip Cloud API makes it easy to integrate telemetry data directly into your own applications, dashboards, or analytics tools. With real-time access to asset data and centralised device management, the API provides a flexible way to extend the power of the Senquip platform.
A new application note shows how to get started using Python, with simple examples for:
🪄 Retrieving JSON data for developers
🪄 Exporting CSV data for engineers and analysts
These quick-start scripts demonstrate authentication, querying devices, and returning measurement data—making it straightforward to adapt for your own use case.
See the full application note on the Senquip Documentation site for details.
Battery Profile
Senquip devices now include a new setting under General > Battery Profile. This allows you to choose how the internal battery is managed.
By default, the profile prioritises longer battery lifespan over maximum capacity. This is especially useful in high-temperature environments, or when a device remains on charge continuously.
The update helps extend service life and maintain reliability, even in demanding applications.
Pioneering UK Hydrogen Trial
The project demonstrated that the UK’s high-pressure Local Transmission System (11,600 km of pipelines) can be repurposed to safely carry hydrogen, marking an important step towards a low-carbon energy future. In a UK first, live operational tasks such as welding and flow stopping were successfully performed on a 30 km stretch of hydrogen pipeline between Granton and Grangemouth.
By proving that existing infrastructure can be adapted for hydrogen, the trial paves the way for regional hydrogen hubs and a resilient backbone for the UK’s net zero energy system.
Senquip and CANopen
Did you know Senquip devices work seamlessly with CANopen? This makes it easy to integrate with modules like the MicroControl μCAN.4.ti-BOX.
The unit measures up to four thermocouples with high precision. It suits applications in process control, environmental monitoring, and machinery diagnostics.
With CANopen, a Senquip device gives you real-time access to temperature data. No gateways. No complex control systems. You can monitor conditions, spot faults early, and track performance over time.
See the full application note on the Senquip Documentation site for details on wiring, setup, and scripting.

Why Base64 🪲🪲🪲🪲
Senquip devices automatically encode all text into Base64 before transmitting it in a JSON packet. This ensures that unprintable characters, which JSON cannot handle, are removed.
To support developers, two scripting commands are available:
- SQ.atob(string) – Decodes a Base64-encoded string and returns the result.
- SQ.btoa(string) – Encodes a string and returns it in Base64 format.
The SQ.atob function is especially useful for decoding strings received from the serial port.
🪲🪲🪲 A recent update has fixed an issue where decoding would stop if a null character was encountered. See the Senquip Firmware Changelist for more information.🪲🪲🪲
