See What Actually HappenedNot What Someone Remembers
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.
The Problem
Where Things Break Down
When an incident happens on the floor, the investigation starts with questions and ends with guesswork. Operators remember things differently. Log files are scattered across systems. By the time someone pulls the data together, the details are fuzzy and the timeline has gaps. Shift handoffs lose context because there is no record of what actually happened, only what someone thought to write down. Compliance audits are worse. Auditors ask for proof of conditions at a specific time, and your team spends days collecting screenshots, exporting CSVs, and stitching together a timeline from fragmented sources.
Incident investigations rely on memory
When something goes wrong, the first step is asking people what they saw. Different operators give different accounts. The actual sequence of events gets lost because nobody can replay what the equipment was doing at that exact moment.
Compliance audits require manual evidence collection
Auditors want proof that conditions were within spec at a specific time. Your team exports data from PLCs, pulls logs from SCADA, and screenshots from HMIs. Assembling a complete picture for one audit finding can take a full day.
Shift handoffs lose critical context
The outgoing shift tries to communicate what happened in 5 minutes at the board. Equipment issues that developed slowly get summarized or forgotten. The incoming shift starts without knowing what to watch.
Our Approach
What Sandhed Does Differently
Sandhed records every machine state change, sensor reading, alert, asset position, door event, and work order status continuously. The Timemachine lets you scrub back to any point in time and see your 3D floor plan exactly as it was at that moment. Machines show their actual status. Assets appear where they were. Alerts that were active are visible. You can play events forward at 2x, 5x, or 10x speed to watch how a situation developed. Event markers on the timeline highlight state changes and alerts so you can jump directly to the moments that matter. For longer time ranges, data is automatically aggregated so you can review a full week or month without waiting for raw data to load.
Full State Reconstruction
Scrub to any timestamp and see every machine's operational status, sensor readings, and position exactly as they were. The 3D floor plan rebuilds the complete state including active alerts, door positions, and work order status.
Timeline with Event Markers
A visual timeline bar shows colored markers for alerts and state changes within your selected time range. Hover to see event details, click to jump directly to that moment and zoom to the affected asset.
Variable-Speed Playback
Play events forward at 0.5x to 10x speed to watch how a situation developed over time. See machines transition between states, alerts trigger and resolve, and assets move through your facility in accelerated replay.
Smart Data Aggregation
For short time ranges you get raw sensor data. For longer periods the system automatically switches to 15-minute, hourly, or daily aggregates. You can review a full month of operations without waiting for millions of raw data points to load.

How 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.
