Floor Plan to 3D

Floor Plan Visualization for Warehousing

Map your warehouse layout in 3D with rack locations, receiving docks, and staging areas. Overlay real-time asset positions and environmental data on your actual floor plan.

The Problem

Where Things Break Down

Warehouse layouts shift constantly and documentation lags behind

Rack configurations change seasonally, temporary staging areas appear and disappear, and the floor plan on the wall stopped being accurate months ago. New hires struggle to navigate.

No spatial view of inventory and assets

Your WMS knows what is in stock, but it cannot show you where that stock sits relative to docks, aisles, or forklifts. Zone heatmaps and spatial analysis require manual data collection.

Multi-zone facilities need a unified view

Receiving, storage, pick areas, and shipping zones operate as separate worlds. There is no single view that shows how work flows between zones or where congestion builds up.

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

Sandhed accepts PDF, PNG, and JPEG floor plan images. You upload the image, then trace rooms and zones directly on top of it in the browser. The system generates 3D walls, doors, and structural elements from your traced boundaries. There is no need to convert to DWG, DXF, or any CAD format.

Most facilities complete their first floor in about 4 hours without external help. You upload your floor plan image, trace the rooms and zones, and Sandhed generates the 3D model. Adding equipment placement and connecting data sources adds another 1-2 hours depending on how many assets you have.

Yes. Each floor is defined as a separate level with its own elevation and ceiling height. Levels stack vertically so you can navigate between floors or see the full building. Equipment, sensors, and zones are associated with specific floors, and you can switch between them with a single click.

You update the 3D model directly in the browser. Move walls, resize zones, reposition equipment, and adjust floor markings like forklift lanes and keep-clear zones. Changes take effect immediately and all live data connections follow the updated layout. There is no need to re-upload or re-model from scratch.

No. The entire process works in a web browser. You trace boundaries on your uploaded floor plan image, and Sandhed handles the 3D generation. The interface is designed for operations teams, not CAD specialists. If you can use Google Maps, you can build your 3D floor plan.
