SandStone IDM has been deployed at an automotive parts plant in Thailand to manage production inspection data, with the company reporting faster retrieval and lower storage costs in an October 27, 2026 announcement.

Key Takeaways

  • The unnamed Thai plant produces powertrain components, including electric drive and power supply systems.
  • SandStone said data retrieval at the plant fell from hours to seconds after deployment.

What SandStone IDM does at the plant

The system brings together the collection, storage and analysis of production quality data. Automotive electronics manufacturers generate large volumes of inspection images from systems used to monitor production and quality.

SandStone said the plant uses the platform for unified storage and processing of that data. It said the faster retrieval supports quality traceability and process optimization.

Storage claims and retention needs

The announcement’s headline said the system reduced storage costs by 65%, but the accompanying text did not explain how that figure was calculated or identify the deployment to which it applied.

SandStone also said its lossless compression technology can save up to 90% of storage space. That is a stated maximum, not a measured result for the Thai plant.

The announcement said inspection data for safety-critical components may need to be retained for a vehicle platform’s lifecycle, which it described as typically 15 years or longer. Longer retention adds to the amount of data manufacturers must manage.
