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.

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.

Yes. The worker portal is a mobile-optimized web interface. Technicians receive a magic link URL they open on their phone. No app installation or platform login required. They see assigned work orders, start and complete tasks, and submit resolution notes. The portal also shows a 3D preview and floor plan location of the equipment so they know exactly where to go.

The system checks schedules every 5 minutes. When a service passes its due date, a warning alert fires and the equipment shows an overdue badge on the 3D floor plan. If it remains overdue for 7 or more days, it escalates to a critical alert. Email notifications go to subscribed users at both levels.

Every service record and work order tracks three cost categories: labor, parts, and external vendor costs. Technicians log these during completion. The service dashboard aggregates costs and shows breakdowns by plan, asset, or month so you can see exactly where your maintenance spend goes.

Sandhed integrates with common CMMS and EAM systems through REST APIs. When an alert triggers, it can create a work order in your maintenance system with the relevant equipment data and sensor readings attached. You can also run both systems in parallel while transitioning.
