Universal Integration for Manufacturing
Connect your PLCs, CNC machines, RTLS tags, and quality sensors into one view on your 3D floor plan. See machine telemetry and asset positions together without switching between vendor dashboards.
Where Things Break Down
PLC data stays locked in SCADA
Your CNC machines, presses, and assembly stations all expose data through OPC UA or Modbus, but it only shows up in SCADA screens at the machine. Getting that data into a floor-level view requires custom middleware.
RTLS and machine data live in different worlds
You track forklifts with UWB tags and monitor machines with PLCs, but the RTLS portal and the SCADA system never talk to each other. You cannot see forklift positions and machine status on the same screen.
Every vendor integration is a custom project
Adding a new sensor type or switching your RTLS vendor means months of integration work: data format mapping, coordinate transformation, database schema changes, and dashboard updates.
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.
Results You Can Measure
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.
No. Sandhed connects to your existing equipment and systems. Your PLCs, RTLS anchors, sensors, and warehouse system stay in place. Sandhed reads from them through standard protocols. You do not need to change your existing infrastructure.
Each RTLS vendor has a dedicated bridge service that translates vendor-specific messages into a unified position format. A coordinate mapping wizard aligns each vendor's coordinate system with your floor plan. You can run multiple RTLS vendors in the same facility and see all positions on one floor plan.
Sandhed shows the last known state for any asset whose data source stops sending. MQTT-based bridges use persistent sessions so messages queue at the broker during outages. Failed messages are saved to a dead letter queue for retry. When the source comes back, data flows resume without manual intervention.
Yes. The REST API accepts metric and position data from any source that can make an HTTP POST request. You define the asset mapping and data format, then push data on whatever schedule your system supports. This covers custom PLCs, edge devices, barcode scanners, and third-party platforms.
