Universal Integration

Universal Integration for Food & Beverage

Connect temperature sensors, production line PLCs, RTLS tracking, and environmental monitors to your 3D floor plan. See food safety data alongside production status.

The Problem

Where Things Break Down

Temperature monitoring is disconnected from production

Your cold chain sensors have their own dashboard. Your production line PLCs feed SCADA. When a temperature excursion happens, correlating it with production activity means switching between systems.

Environmental data lives in a separate silo

Humidity, air pressure, and air quality sensors have their own gateway. That data is critical for food safety but never appears alongside equipment status or production metrics.

Traceability requires manual data collection

Connecting a batch to the equipment that processed it, the conditions it experienced, and the assets that moved it through the facility means pulling data from multiple disconnected systems.

Our Approach

What Sandhed Does Differently

Sandhed runs dedicated bridge services for each data source. MQTT-based systems like industrial telemetry, UWB positioning, BLE tracking, RFID readers, and environmental sensors connect through topic subscriptions. HTTP-based systems like heavy equipment telematics and warehouse management connect through polling at configurable intervals. Any custom source can push data through the REST API. Every bridge validates incoming data, maps vendor tag IDs to your assets, transforms coordinates to your floor plan, and pushes updates to the browser in real time. Failed messages go to a dead letter queue for retry instead of getting dropped. The result is one floor plan with every data source visible in one view.

MQTT and HTTP Bridge Services

Each data source connects through a dedicated bridge that handles the vendor protocol. MQTT bridges subscribe to vendor topics for real-time data. HTTP bridges poll external APIs at configurable intervals. Every bridge validates data with schemas and handles failures with retry queues.

Automatic Coordinate Transformation

RTLS vendors report positions in their own coordinate systems. A visual calibration wizard lets you place control points on your floor plan, compute the affine transformation, and verify accuracy with a grid overlay. Positions from any vendor display correctly on your floor plan.

Unified Tag-to-Asset Mapping

Every vendor uses different identifiers: tag IDs, serial numbers, EPC codes. Sandhed maps all of them to your internal assets through a single mapping table. When you swap tags or change vendors, you update the mapping and the data flows to the right asset.

REST API for Custom Sources

Any system that can make an HTTP POST can push metric and position data directly into Sandhed. No MQTT broker required. This covers custom edge devices, barcode scanners, manual check-ins, and any PLC that supports HTTP calls.

FAQ

Common Questions

Sandhed connects to OPC UA, MQTT, Modbus TCP, and EtherNet/IP for industrial telemetry. RTLS systems connect via MQTT or REST depending on the vendor. Environmental IoT devices connect through MQTT. Warehouse and telematics systems connect through HTTP polling. Any other source can use the REST API to push data directly.
