The shop floor in 3D, next to its numbers
The 3D model of the shop floor sits in the dashboard, next to the numbers that matter: output, availability, scrap, energy per kg and pressures against their limits. Every element of the model carries its machine's name, and the data updates while the lines run.
Illustrative scenario: it describes a typical case, not a customer project.
On the floor you see the machines. In the numbers you only see codes.
A department's numbers live in dashboards made of rows and codes: E2, R1, C2. Anyone who does not work there every day, a visiting manager or a new technician, has to translate each code into a machine and each machine into a place.
Putting the 3D model of the floor next to its numbers shortens that translation. You see where the machine using the most energy stands, or the line with the highest scrap, without a floor plan pinned to the wall.
- Who it's for
- Plant directors, production and maintenance managers, and whoever shows the shop floor to customers and visitors.
In Muvia, step by step
Real product screens, recorded on a project with sample data.

What you get
- Codes become machines
- Whoever reads the dashboard sees where each machine stands, with no codes to translate.
- A whole department on one page
- Output, scrap, energy and pressures sit next to the model, at a glance.
- The model you already have
- Export the model from your CAD in a common format: there is nothing to redraw.
- The same data for everyone
- The shop-floor monitor and the manager's dashboard read the same certified dataset.
For the technical team
How it is built in Muvia
- 1
Connect the lines
On the edge node you configure the lines' drivers and every signal becomes a tag. A query brings them to one row per minute, line by line, and becomes a certified dataset that the dashboards read.
- 2
Load the 3D model
In the dashboard you add the 3D viewer and load the model of the floor. The elements are named after the machines and can be found by name from the Elements panel.
- 3
Put the numbers around it
Next to the model go the week's KPIs, pressures with their limit lines, the thermal profile, flow and scrap hour by hour, and the energy flows.
- 4
Take it to the floor
Kiosk mode shows the dashboard full screen on a shop-floor monitor, and it refreshes itself.
- The data it needs
- Extruder pressures, speeds and temperatures from Siemens S7 PLCs
- Chiller temperatures from an OPC UA server
- Compressed-air consumption and pressure over Modbus TCP
- The 3D model of the shop floor, exported from CAD as glTF, STL or OBJ
More cases in this line
All use cases- Process quality and traceabilityProcess parameters from the PLC, lots from the line database, orders and scrap from the ERP, all in the same engine. Every lot has its process history, and an alarm goes off when a parameter leaves its window while the lot is being made.
- The control chart that warns you firstWeighings from the checkweigher become an X̄-R chart with 3σ limits and the Western Electric rules, recalculated at every shift change. A worn nozzle shows up hours before the scrap does, and Cpk shift by shift tells you where to act.
- Connected machines for machine buildersEvery machine you sell carries a Muvia node, and every customer gets a company of its own, kept apart from the others. Your service team follows the whole fleet with one login, and each customer gets dashboards and reports on their machine.
Tell us which machines you run. We'll tell you how to read them.
PLC brand, protocol, how the floor is connected: with those three answers, in a demo with one of our engineers, we show you how Muvia Industrial puts line data next to the rest of the business.
