You Cannot Plan Production Around Deliveries You Cannot See
Late supplier deliveries cascade into missed schedules, starved lines, and emergency expediting. Sandhed shows inbound material status on your floor plan so you can react before the gap hits production.
Where Things Break Down
Your production plan assumes materials arrive on time. They often do not. A delayed delivery from a key supplier does not just affect one station. It starves downstream processes, forces schedule changes, and triggers emergency orders at premium cost. The problem is that most plants do not know a delivery is late until someone at the dock notices it is not there. By then your buffer is gone and the line is about to stop.
Late deliveries are discovered at the dock, not in advance
Your planning team assumes the delivery is on time until the dock worker reports it missing. That leaves zero lead time to adjust the production schedule or arrange alternatives.
No advance warning on 80% of late deliveries (industry average)
Buffer stock levels are checked manually
Someone walks the floor or checks a spreadsheet to see if there is enough material to cover the next shift. If they miss a low buffer on a critical part, the line stops when it runs out.
Line stoppages from material shortages
No connection between dock activity and production floor
The dock team knows what is arriving. The production team knows what they need. But these two views do not connect. A truck sitting at the wrong dock for 45 minutes delays material that the line needs now.
Dock-to-line material delays averaging 30-60 minutes
What Sandhed Does Differently
Sandhed pulls delivery and fleet data through AEMP telematics and your existing logistics feeds, then maps inbound material status onto your 3D floor plan. Dock doors show whether they are occupied, available, or expecting an arrival. Buffer zones display current stock levels with color-coded indicators: green for adequate, amber for low, red for critical. When a delivery runs late, the affected inbound lane and downstream stations are flagged before the shortage reaches the line.
Inbound Delivery Status on Your Floor Plan
See expected, in-transit, and arrived deliveries mapped to your dock doors and receiving areas. Each inbound shipment shows its current status and the materials it carries.
Buffer Stock Visualization
Buffer zones on your floor plan show current material levels as color-coded overlays. Green means adequate for the next shift. Amber means below safety stock. Red means production is at risk.

Common Questions
Sandhed pulls data from two sources: AEMP 2.0 telematics for fleet and equipment tracking (GPS location, operating status, arrival estimates), and your logistics or ERP feeds for delivery schedules and material contents. This data is mapped to dock doors and receiving zones on your 3D floor plan. You see what is expected, what is in transit, and what has arrived.
AEMP 2.0 (ISO 15143-3) is a standard protocol for sharing equipment telematics data. It covers GPS location, operating hours, fuel levels, and engine status. Many fleet operators already have AEMP-compatible tracking on their vehicles. Sandhed polls these APIs and maps the data to your floor plan. Suppliers do not need to install anything new if they already run telematics on their fleet.
Yes. Sandhed maps inventory data from your warehouse or logistics system to buffer zones on the floor plan. Each zone shows a color-coded fill level: green for adequate, amber for below safety stock, red for critical. When a zone drops to amber or red, the system flags the associated production stations that depend on that material.
No. Sandhed is a visibility layer, not a procurement tool. It reads delivery data from your existing systems and displays it spatially on the floor plan. Your purchasing, scheduling, and supplier management workflows stay where they are. Sandhed shows you the status so you can act faster.
The floor plan setup takes about 4 hours. Connecting AEMP telematics sources is a configuration step that takes minutes per provider. Mapping delivery schedules from your ERP depends on the integration method, but REST API connections are typically active within a day. You do not need external consultants.
