Inventory Visibility for Manufacturing
See raw material buffers, component staging, and finished goods locations on your production floor plan. Know where stock sits without leaving the control room.
The Problem
Where Things Break Down
Raw material buffers run empty without warning
The WMS shows quantity on hand, but not how much is staged at the point of use. An operator discovers the buffer is empty when the machine starves. The material was in the warehouse, just not where it needed to be.
Finished goods accumulate in the wrong staging area
Completed product should move to the shipping dock, but pallets stack up near the end of the line. Without a spatial view, the buildup is not visible until it blocks traffic or delays shipments.
Component kitting accuracy depends on manual verification
Kitting stations pull components from multiple locations. When one component is mislocated, the kit is incomplete. Operators discover the problem mid-assembly, not during kitting.
Our Approach
What Sandhed Does Differently
Sandhed reads inventory data from your WMS through a polling integration and maps WMS locations to physical zones on your 3D floor plan. Stock levels appear as color-coded overlays on the actual warehouse layout. Zone heatmaps show which areas are heavily stocked and which are running thin. When inventory moves, the floor plan updates. Your WMS remains the system of record. Sandhed is a read-only visualization layer that makes the data spatial.
Stock Levels on Your Floor Plan
WMS inventory data mapped to physical zones on your 3D floor plan. See stock quantities as color-coded overlays on the actual warehouse layout, updating as inventory moves.
Zone Heatmaps
Visual density maps show which zones are heavily stocked and which are running low. Identify imbalances in stock distribution without walking the floor or pulling reports.
Read-Only WMS Integration
Sandhed polls your WMS at configurable intervals to pull inventory snapshots, movements, and location data. Your WMS remains the system of record. Sandhed reads from it and displays the data spatially.
Location-to-Floor-Plan Mapping
Map WMS location codes to physical features on your floor plan through a mapping table. Once configured, every WMS location has a corresponding spot on the 3D model where inventory data displays.

Real-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 SolutionDock Door Management
Most warehouses manage dock doors by walking over and looking. Sandhed puts every dock door status on your 3D floor plan with real-time sensor data, so you know which bays are open, occupied, or idle from anywhere.
