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.
The Problem
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.
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.
