See Where Defects StartBefore They Reach the End of the Line
Quality gates catch bad parts, but they do not tell you why a station started failing. Sandhed maps pass/fail rates and SPC data to your 3D floor plan so you can trace defect patterns back to the source station in minutes, not days.
The Problem
Where Things Break Down
When reject rates spike at a quality gate, someone has to investigate which upstream station is responsible. That investigation involves pulling SPC data from one system, production logs from another, and physically walking the floor to inspect equipment. By the time the root cause is found, defective parts have been accumulating for hours. The rework and scrap costs are already locked in.
Root cause investigation takes too long
When a quality gate flags a spike in rejects, the investigation starts with SPC charts, moves to production logs, and ends with a floor walk. Connecting data from three systems to identify the source station takes hours, during which defective parts keep flowing.
Quality data is disconnected from equipment data
Your quality system tracks defects per part type. Your PLC system tracks machine parameters. But nothing connects a torque spec failure at Station 12 to the servo drift on the machine feeding it. The correlation exists, but nobody can see it.
No spatial view of quality across the floor
SPC charts show data per station, but they do not show you the physical relationship between stations. A defect pattern that moves along your production line is obvious on a floor plan, but invisible in a spreadsheet.
Our Approach
What Sandhed Does Differently
Sandhed places quality gate status indicators directly on your 3D floor plan. Pass/fail rates, SPC trend data, and defect counts are displayed as color-coded overlays at each checkpoint. When a gate starts showing declining pass rates, the upstream stations are immediately visible in spatial context. You can see which machine feeds that gate, check its sensor data, and correlate equipment health with quality output, all from one view.
Quality Gate Status on 3D Floor Plan
Each quality checkpoint is displayed on your floor plan with color-coded pass/fail indicators. Green, amber, and red status badges let you scan the entire production floor for quality issues in seconds.
Station-Level SPC Overlays
Statistical process control data mapped to individual stations on the floor plan. See control limits, trend direction, and out-of-spec readings as visual overlays on the equipment producing them.
Defect Pattern Visualization
When multiple stations show related quality issues, the spatial layout on the floor plan makes the pattern visible. Trace defect flow from source station through downstream quality gates.
Threshold Alerts for Quality Metrics
Set acceptable ranges for pass rates, defect counts, or SPC parameters. When readings cross your limits, alerts go to the quality team with the station location and relevant data already included.

OEE Improvement
Most manufacturers know their OEE score. Few can point to the exact machine, shift, or station dragging it down. Sandhed maps availability, performance, and quality data onto your floor plan so you can see where OEE drops and why.
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.

How to Improve OEE: The 5 Levers That Actually Move the Number
OEE is the product of availability, performance, and quality. Most plants know their OEE number but can't pinpoint which of the three factors is dragging it down or why. Improving OEE requires decomposing the score, finding hidden losses in each category, and connecting production data to spatial context so you can see where on the floor the problems actually live.
