Floor Plan Visualization for Manufacturing
Turn your production floor plan into an interactive 3D model with live machine status, zone definitions, and real-time sensor overlays. No CAD software, no consultants, ready in hours.
The Problem
Where Things Break Down
Production floor layouts change faster than documentation
New equipment arrives, production cells get reorganized, and the floor plan PDF from last year no longer matches reality. New operators rely on tribal knowledge to find their way around.
Machine data lacks physical context
Your SCADA shows CNC-07 is running hot, but you cannot tell if it sits next to the fire exit or beside a $500,000 press. Spatial relationships between equipment matter for safety and troubleshooting.
Zone definitions exist only on paper
Production zones, safety areas, and maintenance corridors are marked with floor tape but not reflected in any digital system. Reporting by zone requires manual sorting.
Our Approach
What Sandhed Does Differently
Sandhed takes your existing floor plan image and builds a 3D model directly from it. You upload a PDF, PNG, or JPEG of your floor plan, define rooms and zones by tracing over it, and Sandhed generates the walls, doors, and fixtures automatically. Multi-floor buildings stack vertically with correct elevation. Once the model is built, you drag and drop assets onto their real locations and connect live sensor data. Equipment status, temperature readings, and alerts appear as color-coded overlays on the actual building layout.
Upload and Trace
Upload your floor plan as a PDF, PNG, or JPEG. Trace rooms and zones directly on the image. Sandhed generates 3D walls, doors, columns, and fixtures from your traced boundaries. Add floor markings like forklift lanes, pedestrian crossings, parking spaces, and keep-clear safety zones.
Multi-Floor and Georeferencing
Buildings with multiple levels stack vertically with correct elevation and floor-to-ceiling heights. Navigate between floors or view all levels at once. Anchor your floor plan to GPS coordinates using a satellite map overlay so RTLS and GPS-tracked equipment positions map correctly.
Drag-and-Drop Asset Placement
Place machines, sensors, racks, and other equipment on the 3D floor plan by dragging them to their real-world positions. Assets snap to zones and retain their location as the floor plan updates.
Live Data Overlays
Connect sensors and PLCs to see equipment status, temperature, vibration, and other readings as color-coded overlays on your 3D floor plan. Status changes update in real time.

FAQ
Common Questions
Related Solutions
Real-Time Asset Tracking
Most factories lose hours every week searching for tools, parts, and mobile equipment. Sandhed connects to your existing RTLS tags and shows every tracked asset on your 3D floor plan in real time.
View SolutionEnvironmental Monitoring
Humidity creeping up in a cleanroom or pressure dropping in a controlled area can compromise an entire production run. Sandhed puts live environmental data from every sensor onto your 3D floor plan so you catch problems the moment conditions change.
View SolutionHistorical Replay & Incident Investigation
When something goes wrong on the floor, the first question is always 'what happened?' Sandhed's Timemachine lets you scrub back to any moment and see your entire facility exactly as it was.
