Stop Finding Out Afterthe 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.
The Problem
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.
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.
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.
Our Approach
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.

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 SolutionMaintenance 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 SolutionCustom Dashboards & KPI Views
Your factory generates thousands of data points every hour. Sandhed puts them on drag-and-drop dashboards tied to your 3D floor plan, so every role sees exactly what they need.

Why Does My Production Line Keep Stopping?
Most unplanned stops come from a short list of causes that compound each other. Sensor blind spots, delayed maintenance response, equipment running past rated cycles, power quality events, raw material drift, PLC faults, and shift-change errors account for the majority of lost production time. Fixing them requires data correlation, not more dashboards.
Read answerHow to Reduce Equipment Downtime: 8 Strategies Ranked by Impact
Reducing equipment downtime starts with knowing where you're losing time, not with buying technology. The eight strategies below are ranked by how much downtime they typically eliminate in the first year. The top three are organizational fixes that cost almost nothing. The rest require incremental investment but build on each other.
Read answerHow to Monitor a Factory Floor in Real Time
Real-time factory monitoring means having sensor data from machines, environment, and process parameters available within seconds, not hours. It starts with choosing the right sensors for your top failure modes, runs through an edge-to-cloud architecture that handles the data volume, and works only if the alert design respects your operators' attention.
