Maintenance Management

Maintenance Management for Food & Beverage

Track CIP equipment service, pasteurizer maintenance, and packaging line upkeep with checklists that include food safety compliance steps.

The Problem

Where Things Break Down

Compliance checklists exist on paper, not in the system

HACCP and FSMA require documented maintenance records. But if checklists are paper-based, proving compliance during an audit means pulling binders and cross-referencing dates manually.

CIP and sanitation schedules overlap with production

Cleaning-in-place cycles have to happen between production runs, but scheduling them is manual. When a CIP schedule slips, your production restart gets delayed and batch timing falls apart.

Temperature equipment failures trigger food safety events

A missed pasteurizer service can lead to temperature drift, which becomes a food safety event. By the time it is caught, you face product holds, investigations, and disposal costs.

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. Attach SOPs, safety data sheets, and reference documents directly to plans and checklist items. Assign plans to individual machines or doors, or bulk-apply them across equipment types. Pre-built templates for common scenarios are included out of the box.

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.

FAQ

Common Questions

Scheduled maintenance uses service plans with checklists and three trigger types: fixed intervals (every N days), calendar recurrence (weekly, monthly, quarterly), or usage-based thresholds (trigger after X runtime hours). When a plan is due, the assigned technician gets notified and completes a checklist with parts tracking and attached reference documents. Reactive maintenance uses work orders, which can be created manually or automatically when an alert fires. Both types show up on the same dashboard and the same 3D floor plan, so your team sees everything in one place.

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 Solution

Work 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 Solution

Compliance & 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.
