MES Integration Ready

Stop Chasing Problems. See Them Before They Stop Your Line.

See which machines are healthy, which are slowing down, and where work is piling up. Prevent the $50K/hour downtime events before they happen.

The Challenge

What poor visibility actually costs you

Unplanned Downtime Blindsides You

By the time your operator radios in, you've already lost $50K. Traditional systems tell you what happened, not what's about to happen.
$50K+ per hour in lost production

Bottlenecks Are Invisible Until It's Too Late

WIP piles up at a constraint you can't see. By the time it's obvious, you've lost half a shift.
15-20% throughput loss from hidden constraints

Data Lives in 17 Different Systems

Your MES says one thing, your ERP another, your quality system a third. Getting a unified view requires a data analyst and half a day.
Hours lost to manual data reconciliation

WIP Tracking Is Guesswork

Where are those 200 units? Somewhere between machining and assembly. Probably. Your production manager is walking the floor to find out.
Lost inventory and expediting costs

The Difference

Before and after Sandhed

Before
  • Operator radios in about a stopped machine
  • Walk the floor to find bottlenecks
  • Export from MES, import to Excel, make charts
  • Manual cycle counts and WIP tracking
With Sandhed
  • Sandhed alerts you 15 minutes before failure
  • See constraints highlighted in real-time 3D
  • Live unified dashboard from all sources
  • Real-time location of every unit in production

Bottlenecks light up red in your 3D model before they back up the line. WIP accumulation is visible instantly.
Instant detection

OEE Analytics

OEE calculated live for every machine, every line, and the entire plant. No spreadsheets, no waiting for month-end.
Auto-calculated

WIP Tracking

Know where every unit is in production right now. Click any item to see its complete journey through the plant.
Sub-meter precision

Predictive Alerts

Get warned before equipment fails, not after. Alerts reach the right person via email, SMS, or push notification.
15 min early warning

Real-World Scenarios

A Day in the Life with Sandhed

Here's what a typical day looks like with Sandhed running.

1

Catching spindle wear before it stops the line

Your CNC cluster in Zone 3 is showing spindle vibration 15% above baseline. Sandhed flags it amber. Your maintenance tech is there by 8:15 with the replacement bearing. No line stoppage. The bearing gets swapped by 8:15.

7:47 AM
2

Spotting a backup 20 minutes early

Assembly line 4 is backing up. But you already knew that 20 minutes ago because Sandhed showed WIP accumulating on the 3D model. You shifted two operators from line 3 (which was ahead) before anyone noticed. Line 4 stays on pace.

2:30 PM
3

Pulling a bad batch before it reaches assembly

Sandhed flagged that CMM station 2 rejected 3 consecutive parts. You trace them to CNC-07, check the parameters, find the worn tool, and pull the affected batch before it reaches assembly. The batch gets pulled before it leaves the building.
