# 📖 Overview

This guide documents the **end-to-end OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) data flow** for **Machine Sentinel**, including how telemetry is emitted, transformed, and visualized. It focuses on enabling accurate and consistent integration of Sentinel into the existing analytics and monitoring ecosystem.

Understanding this data flow is critical because the final dashboards are relied upon by:

* **Stakeholders** for high-level performance reporting
* **Field engineers** for on-site diagnostics and operational insights
* **Software engineers** for validating data integrity and pipeline behavior

This guide outlines the full lifecycle: from Sentinel's on-machine software and telemetry output, through cloud ingestion and transformation, to the final presentation layer across multiple dashboard platforms.
