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.
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.
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.
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.

Solutions Built for Manufacturing
Explore the specific solutions most relevant to your operations.
Unplanned Downtime Prevention
Most manufacturers discover downtime after it costs them. Sandhed gives you the visibility to catch equipment issues before they shut down production.
View SolutionReal-Time Asset Tracking
Most factories lose hours every week searching for tools, parts, and mobile equipment. Sandhed connects to your existing RTLS tags and shows every tracked asset on your 3D floor plan in real time.
View SolutionOEE Improvement
Most manufacturers know their OEE score. Few can point to the exact machine, shift, or station dragging it down. Sandhed maps availability, performance, and quality data onto your floor plan so you can see where OEE drops and why.
View SolutionInventory Visibility
Your WMS knows quantities. Sandhed shows you where that inventory physically sits on your floor plan, with zone-based counts and heatmaps that update as stock moves.
View SolutionMaintenance Management
Maintenance teams lose hours tracking down service records, chasing overdue tasks, and figuring out what was done last time. Sandhed puts every work order, service record, and maintenance schedule on your 3D floor plan where you can see it.
View SolutionQuality Gate Monitoring
Quality gates catch bad parts, but they do not tell you why a station started failing. Sandhed maps pass/fail rates and SPC data to your 3D floor plan so you can trace defect patterns back to the source station in minutes, not days.
View SolutionSupplier Delivery Visibility
Late supplier deliveries cascade into missed schedules, starved lines, and emergency expediting. Sandhed shows inbound material status on your floor plan so you can react before the gap hits production.
View SolutionFloor Plan Visualization
Upload a floor plan and get an interactive 3D model of your facility in hours. Place assets, define zones, and overlay live sensor data on your actual building layout.
View SolutionAI Operations Assistant
Type a question about your facility and get answers grounded in real sensor data. Sandhed's AI assistant queries your equipment metrics, alerts, and maintenance records to give you plain-language answers instead of dashboards to decipher.
View SolutionCustom Dashboards & KPI Views
Your factory generates thousands of data points every hour. Sandhed puts them on drag-and-drop dashboards tied to your 3D floor plan, so every role sees exactly what they need.
View SolutionWork Order Management
A broken machine gets reported verbally. A work order gets scribbled on paper. No one knows who is handling it or when it will be done. Sandhed gives every work order a location, an owner, and a timeline.
View SolutionHistorical Replay & Incident Investigation
When something goes wrong on the floor, the first question is always 'what happened?' Sandhed's Timemachine lets you scrub back to any moment and see your entire facility exactly as it was.
View SolutionUniversal Integration
Your PLCs, sensors, RTLS tags, and warehouse systems all generate data. Sandhed connects to all of them through a unified pipeline and brings everything onto one floor plan.
View SolutionAnalytics & Automated Reports
Your factory generates data constantly. Sandhed's analytics platform turns it into pre-built reports, trend analysis, and scheduled deliveries so the right numbers reach the right people without anyone pulling a spreadsheet.

Predictive Alerts
Get warned before equipment fails, not after. Alerts reach the right person via email, SMS, or push notification.
Real-World Scenarios
A Day in the Life with Sandhed
Here's what a typical day looks like with Sandhed running.
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.”
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.”
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.”

Why Does My Production Line Keep Stopping?
Most unplanned stops come from a short list of causes that compound each other. Sensor blind spots, delayed maintenance response, equipment running past rated cycles, power quality events, raw material drift, PLC faults, and shift-change errors account for the majority of lost production time. Fixing them requires data correlation, not more dashboards.
Read answerHow to Monitor a Factory Floor in Real Time
Real-time factory monitoring means having sensor data from machines, environment, and process parameters available within seconds, not hours. It starts with choosing the right sensors for your top failure modes, runs through an edge-to-cloud architecture that handles the data volume, and works only if the alert design respects your operators' attention.
Read answerHow to Reduce Equipment Downtime: 8 Strategies Ranked by Impact
Reducing equipment downtime starts with knowing where you're losing time, not with buying technology. The eight strategies below are ranked by how much downtime they typically eliminate in the first year. The top three are organizational fixes that cost almost nothing. The rest require incremental investment but build on each other.
