Supplier Visibility for Manufacturing
Track inbound raw materials and component deliveries on your 3D floor plan. See dock activity, buffer stock levels, and delivery delays before they reach the production floor.
Where Things Break Down
Raw material shortages discovered at the machine
The operator reaches for the next pallet of blanks and it is not there. The delivery was late, but nobody told the floor. Now the CNC sits idle while someone tracks down the material.
No link between receiving dock and production schedule
The dock team processes deliveries in the order trucks arrive, not in the order production needs them. A pallet that the line needs now can sit on the dock for an hour while earlier deliveries get processed first.
Emergency orders eat into margins
When a delivery is late and buffer stock runs out, someone places a rush order at premium freight cost. These emergency orders happen often enough to be a real budget line, but they are treated as exceptions.
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.
AEMP Fleet Tracking for Supplier Equipment
Track supplier fleet and delivery vehicles through AEMP telematics data. See equipment location, operating status, and estimated arrival on your floor plan via GPS-to-local coordinate mapping.
Supplier Delivery Performance Overlays
Historical overlays show which dock lanes and suppliers have the best and worst on-time delivery rates. Spot patterns in late deliveries by supplier, day of week, or time of day.
Results You Can Measure
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.
