Quality Gate Monitoring for Automotive
Track pass/fail rates at every station on your assembly line. Correlate quality gate failures with upstream equipment data to protect takt time and reduce scrap.
Where Things Break Down
Quality gate failures disrupt takt time
When a quality gate rejects parts, the station pauses for rework or the parts are pulled offline. Either way, your takt time takes a hit and the stations downstream are affected.
Torque and dimensional data live in silos
Torque verification results sit in one system, dimensional measurements in another, and visual inspection data on paper. Correlating defects across measurement types requires manual effort that delays root cause identification.
Supplier quality issues surface too late
When incoming parts have a subtle dimensional variance, the defect does not show up until assembly. By the time the quality gate catches it, you have already installed affected components on multiple vehicles.
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.
Results You Can Measure
Common Questions
Sandhed connects to your quality data sources via OPC UA, MQTT, or REST APIs. Pass/fail counts, defect rates, and SPC parameters are mapped to specific stations on your 3D floor plan. Each quality checkpoint shows a color-coded badge: green for within spec, amber for trending toward limits, and red for out of spec. You can click any station to see detailed quality metrics and trend charts.
Yes. Because both quality metrics and equipment sensor data are mapped to the same floor plan, you can see them side by side. When a quality gate shows rising reject rates, you can check the upstream equipment's vibration, temperature, and cycle time data to identify whether an equipment issue is causing the quality problem. The spatial layout makes these connections visible.
Any metric that your quality systems expose through standard protocols. Common examples include pass/fail rates per station, defect counts by category, SPC measurements (Cp, Cpk, control chart data), torque verification results, dimensional measurements, and visual inspection outcomes. The platform handles numeric data from any connected source.
You configure high and low thresholds for any quality parameter on any station. When a metric breaches a threshold, Sandhed creates an alert with the station location, metric value, and threshold setting. The alert goes to subscribed users via email and shows as a real-time notification in the platform. Alerts auto-resolve when the metric returns to the normal range.
Yes. Sandhed is designed to visualize quality data, not replace your quality management system. It reads data from your existing sources and adds the spatial context that standalone SPC tools lack. Your quality team continues to use their familiar tools for detailed analysis while using Sandhed to see where quality issues are emerging across the floor.
