Work Order Management for Food & Beverage
Track maintenance work orders on food-safe equipment with full documentation for audit trails. Link every repair to the asset, the batch, and the floor plan location.
The Problem
Where Things Break Down
Equipment repairs lack the documentation auditors need
When a pasteurizer is repaired, the work is done correctly, but the paperwork is incomplete. During audits, you scramble to reconstruct what was done, when, by whom, and what parts were used.
Temperature-critical equipment failures need fast, traceable responses
When a chiller goes down, you need to fix it quickly and document every step for food safety compliance. Paper-based work orders make both harder.
CIP equipment issues delay production with no tracking
When a CIP pump fails, the production restart is delayed, but the repair is handled informally. There is no record of how long the delay was or what caused it.
Our Approach
What Sandhed Does Differently
Sandhed work orders are tied to physical assets and locations on your 3D floor plan from the moment they are created. When an alert fires on a machine, it can automatically generate a work order with the equipment data attached. The assigned technician sees the machine highlighted on the floor plan with a floating badge, plus a mobile worker portal for updating progress from the floor. Every completed work order becomes part of the asset's maintenance history with full cost tracking, root cause documentation, and resolution records.
Location-Aware Work Orders
Every work order is linked to an asset or door on your 3D floor plan. The affected equipment shows a floating badge in the live view. Technicians see exactly where to go without asking.
Alert-Triggered Work Order Creation
When sensor readings cross your thresholds, Sandhed can automatically create a work order with the relevant equipment data, sensor readings, and alert context already attached. No manual transcription needed.
Mobile Worker Portal
Technicians access assigned work orders through a mobile web portal. They see the asset's 3D preview and floor plan location, start work with one tap, and document the resolution from their phone. No app install required.
Full Maintenance History & Cost Tracking
Every completed work order records the resolution, root cause, labor cost, parts cost, and external costs. This history lives on the asset, so the next technician sees what was done before, what parts were used, and what it cost.

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.
View SolutionCompliance & Audit Trails
Most facilities piece together audit documentation from spreadsheets, paper logs, and disconnected systems. Sandhed records every action, threshold breach, and maintenance event automatically, so your compliance evidence is ready before anyone asks for it.
