AI Operations Assistant for Manufacturing
Ask questions about machine health, production metrics, and maintenance schedules in plain language. Get data-grounded answers from your actual sensor data in seconds.
The Problem
Where Things Break Down
Production data is scattered across SCADA, MES, and CMMS
Answering 'which CNC machines had the highest reject rate this week?' means pulling data from three different systems and manually correlating by timestamp. Most shift supervisors do not have time.
Equipment trends require manual chart analysis
Spotting that a spindle's vibration has been creeping up over the past two weeks requires opening the historian, selecting the right tag, setting the time range, and interpreting the chart. The AI does this in one question.
New operators cannot read between the data lines
Experienced machinists know that when CNC-03 shows a specific vibration pattern, it means the coolant pump is about to fail. That pattern recognition takes years to develop. The AI surfaces it immediately.
Our Approach
What Sandhed Does Differently
Sandhed's AI Co-Pilot is available in your 3D floor plan view and on individual asset detail pages. When you ask 'which machines had warnings this week?' the AI queries your sensor data, alert history, and maintenance records, then returns a structured answer with specific machine names, metric values, and timestamps. It builds a profile of your facility and only uses tools relevant to your active integrations. Answers link directly to the machines and data they reference so you can verify anything with one click.
Natural Language Queries
Ask questions in plain language: 'Which machines ran hot last shift?' 'Are any work orders overdue?' 'What happened on Line 3 yesterday?' The AI translates your question into the right data queries.
Grounded in Real Data
Every answer comes with specific machine names, metric values, and timestamps pulled from your actual sensor data and maintenance records. No generic advice. No guessing.
Context-Aware Answers
The AI knows your floor plan layout, which equipment you have, what sensors are connected, and what integrations are active. It tailors answers to your specific facility instead of giving generic responses. It works from the main floor plan view and from individual asset detail pages, adjusting its scope to whatever you are looking at.
Direct Links to Data
Answers include clickable links that navigate to the referenced machines, pull up the relevant metric history, or jump to the specific alert. Verify any answer with one click.
