Stop Finding Out After the Line Already Stopped
Most manufacturers discover downtime after it costs them. Sandhed gives you the visibility to catch equipment issues before they shut down production.
Where Things Break Down
When a machine goes down unexpectedly, the cost goes beyond lost output. Maintenance scrambles. Downstream stations starve. Your production schedule is suddenly fiction. Traditional systems tell you after a machine fails. They can't warn you when one's about to. That gap costs you real money.
Reactive maintenance burns cash
By the time the operator radios in, you have already lost production. Emergency repairs cost 3-5x more than planned maintenance, and stall every process downstream.
3-5x higher repair costs vs. planned maintenance
Equipment data sits in silos
Your PLC data, vibration logs, and maintenance records live in separate systems. Spotting a failure pattern means pulling data from three different places and manually comparing them.
Hours of manual data correlation per incident
No early warning system exists
Temperature creeping up, vibration increasing, cycle times drifting. These signals show up days before a failure, but your team can't see them because the data lives in separate systems.
Missed signals that could prevent shutdowns
What Sandhed Does Differently
Sandhed connects to your existing PLCs and sensors via OPC UA and MQTT, then maps equipment health data onto your 3D floor plan in real time. You see vibration trends, temperature drift, and cycle time anomalies as color-coded overlays on actual machine locations. When readings cross your thresholds, alerts go to the right person before the line stops.
Real-Time Equipment Health
PLC and sensor data mapped to your 3D floor plan. See machine status, vibration levels, and temperature readings as color-coded overlays on actual equipment locations.
Threshold-Based Alerts
Set warning levels for any parameter. When vibration, temperature, or cycle times drift past your limits, the right person gets notified through their preferred channel.
Trend Visualization
Historical overlays show how equipment parameters change over time. Spot gradual degradation before it reaches the failure point.
Maintenance Coordination
When an alert fires, your maintenance team sees the affected equipment highlighted on the floor plan with the relevant sensor data already pulled up.

Common Questions
Sandhed connects to your PLCs and IoT sensors to monitor vibration, temperature, cycle times, and other parameters in real time. When readings start trending outside normal ranges, the system triggers alerts before the equipment actually fails. You set custom thresholds based on your equipment. More transparent and controllable than black-box AI.
Any equipment that exposes data through OPC UA, MQTT, Modbus TCP, or EtherNet/IP. This covers most modern PLCs, CNC machines, packaging lines, conveyors, and process equipment. Older analog equipment can be monitored by adding IoT sensors. The 3D visualization works with any equipment you can place on your floor plan.
Most facilities have their floor plan uploaded and see live equipment data within 4 hours, without external help. You upload your floor plan, Sandhed builds the 3D model, and you connect your data sources. The longest part is usually deciding which thresholds to set for alerts.
Yes. Sandhed integrates with common CMMS and EAM systems through REST APIs. When an alert triggers, it can create a work order in your maintenance system with the relevant equipment data and sensor readings attached. Your maintenance team works in their familiar tools.
Most facilities report 20-30% fewer unplanned stops within 30 days. A single prevented downtime event on a high-value line can cover the annual subscription cost. The exact timeline depends on your current downtime frequency and the value of your production output per hour.

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 Solution →Maintenance Management
Maintenance teams lose hours tracking down service records, chasing overdue tasks, and figuring out what was done last time. Sandhed puts every work order, service record, and maintenance schedule on your 3D floor plan where you can see it.
