The pumping station in 3D
Pump hall, sump, headers and tanks in the 3D model, every machine carrying its asset's name and its signals alongside. You search for a pump by name, see it in the model and read its vibration against the manual's limits, next to that of its twin.
Illustrative scenario: it describes a typical case, not a customer project.
A station has dozens of identical pumps. The fault is always in the one you aren't watching.
In a pumping station the machines look alike: two twin pumps per line, their motors, valves and tanks. The signals arrive with codes such as P-201A and P-201B, and working out which of the two is vibrating, and where it stands, takes a diagram and some experience.
With the 3D model on the dashboard, every pump carries its asset's name: you search for it, it lights up, and next to it are its signals with the limits taken from the manual. Whoever is on shift sees at once which twin is worse.
- Who it's for
- Water network and pumping station operators, maintenance managers and control-room staff.
In Muvia, step by step
Real product screens, recorded on a project with sample data.
The video · Pump hall, sump, headers and tanks in the 3D model, every machine carrying its asset's name and its signals alongside. You search for a pump by name, see it in the model and read its vibration against the manual's limits, next to that of its twin.
What you get
- The right pump, first time
- The asset's name ties the 3D element to its signals: no diagrams to look up.
- Twins side by side
- Two pumps on the same line next to each other: when one drifts, it stands out.
- The manual's limits, not memory
- The vibration zones come from the manufacturer's manual and apply to every pump of the same type.
- One picture for whoever is on shift
- The same dashboard runs on the control-room monitor in kiosk mode.
For the technical team
How it is built in Muvia
- 1
Model the station
In Plant the station contains the lines, each line its twin pumps with their motors, the valves and the tanks. The pump's manual sits on its model, with the vibration zones.
- 2
Load the 3D model
In the dashboard you add the 3D viewer with the model of the station. Every element is named after its asset, and you find it by name from the Elements panel.
- 3
Put the signals alongside
Next to the model go each pump's vibration with the zone C and D lines, the line hour by hour and the week's KPIs.
- 4
Raise the alarm
A threshold with a deadband on vibration opens an episode when a pump enters zone C; maintenance takes it on from the alarm register.
- The data it needs
- Vibration, bearing temperatures, flow and head from Siemens S7 PLCs
- Valve positions and tank levels from an OPC UA server
- Work orders and overhauls from the ERP
- The 3D model of the station, its elements named after the assets
More cases in this line
All use cases- Anomalies and predictive maintenanceVibration, temperature and current read from the PLC become a deviation from normal, a health index and, if you want, a score from a model of your own, in the cloud or on the node next to the machine. When a signal drifts, an alarm goes off and maintenance hears about it.
- Energy use per line and per pieceMeters and power analysers read over Modbus TCP, joined with the pieces produced and the orders in the ERP: how much energy each line, each shift and each piece takes, with an alarm when consumption looks out of the ordinary.
- From tag names to assetsFive hundred control-system tags, with names such as KP2_P201A_VT01, read by a Python function the way a technician would read them: machine code, instrument, unit. Every match to an asset variable comes with a confidence and a reason, and the doubtful ones go to a person.

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.
