The Challenge

What poor visibility actually costs you

Unplanned Downtime Blindsides You

By the time your operator radios in, you've already lost $50K. Traditional systems tell you what happened, not what's about to happen.

$50K+ per hour in lost production

Bottlenecks Are Invisible Until It's Too Late

WIP piles up at a constraint you can't see. By the time it's obvious, you've lost half a shift.

15-20% throughput loss from hidden constraints

Data Lives in 17 Different Systems

Your MES says one thing, your ERP another, your quality system a third. Getting a unified view requires a data analyst and half a day.

Hours lost to manual data reconciliation

WIP Tracking Is Guesswork

Where are those 200 units? Somewhere between machining and assembly. Probably. Your production manager is walking the floor to find out.

Lost inventory and expediting costs

Real-World Scenarios

A Day in the Life with Sandhed

Here's what a typical day looks like with Sandhed running.

7:47 AM

Catching spindle wear before it stops the line

Your CNC cluster in Zone 3 is showing spindle vibration 15% above baseline. Sandhed flags it amber. Your maintenance tech is there by 8:15 with the replacement bearing. No line stoppage. The bearing gets swapped by 8:15.

2:30 PM

Spotting a backup 20 minutes early

Assembly line 4 is backing up. But you already knew that 20 minutes ago because Sandhed showed WIP accumulating on the 3D model. You shifted two operators from line 3 (which was ahead) before anyone noticed. Line 4 stays on pace.

4:00 PM

Pulling a bad batch before it reaches assembly

Sandhed flagged that CMM station 2 rejected 3 consecutive parts. You trace them to CNC-07, check the parameters, find the worn tool, and pull the affected batch before it reaches assembly. The batch gets pulled before it leaves the building.
