Maintenance Management for Automotive
Coordinate assembly line maintenance across stations with work orders linked to takt time data. Track service history for welding robots, conveyors, and quality gate equipment.
The Problem
Where Things Break Down
Maintenance windows are too short to waste on searching
Automotive lines run tight schedules. When you get a 30-minute maintenance window between shifts, spending 10 minutes finding the service manual and parts list for a welding robot is time you cannot afford.
Quality issues traced to maintenance gaps take too long to find
When a quality gate flags rising reject rates, it takes hours to determine if the root cause is a missed calibration, a worn part, or a skipped service. The maintenance record is not connected to the quality data.
Multi-station dependencies complicate scheduling
Servicing one station affects every station downstream. Without seeing the full line on a floor plan, maintenance managers schedule tasks that inadvertently starve downstream stations of parts.
Our Approach
What Sandhed Does Differently
Sandhed's service management module ties every maintenance activity to a physical location on your 3D floor plan. Service plans define checklists, required parts, and trigger intervals. Schedules assign those plans to specific machines and doors with due dates and technician assignments. When an alert fires, it can create a work order with the equipment location, sensor data, and maintenance history already attached. Overdue services show up as floating badges above the affected equipment in the 3D view, and the service dashboard tracks compliance rates, costs, and open work orders across your facility.
Service Plans with Checklists
Define reusable maintenance templates with step-by-step checklists, required parts lists, and time or usage-based triggers. Assign plans to individual machines or bulk-apply them across equipment types.
Work Order Kanban Board
Reactive work orders flow through a visual pipeline: submitted, triaged, assigned, in progress, completed. Each card shows priority, equipment location, and assignment status. Alerts can automatically create work orders.
3D Floor Plan Badges
Overdue service schedules and open work orders display as floating badges above the affected equipment on your 3D floor plan. Walk through the facility digitally and see exactly which machines need attention.
Compliance Tracking and Cost Breakdown
Track on-time completion rates across your facility. See labor, parts, and external service costs broken down by plan, asset, or month. Know exactly where your maintenance budget goes.

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 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 SolutionCompliance & Audit Trails
Most facilities piece together audit documentation from spreadsheets, paper logs, and disconnected systems. Sandhed records every action, threshold breach, and maintenance event automatically, so your compliance evidence is ready before anyone asks for it.
