Factory Viewer. 3D Visualization for Material Flow and Layout

Visualize your factory in 3D. See layouts, transport flows, and processes clearly. Plan better with data-based insights and a shared view for your team. The Factory Viewer shows bottlenecks, space usage, and process sequences to support data-driven decisions in intralogistics and material flow planning.

Factory Viewer

More clarity for your factory planning

Efficient factory planning requires clear data, realistic visualization, and reliable decision-making support. The ipolog Factory Viewer enhances your planning with a powerful 3D visualization of the entire production environment and material provisioning. Layouts, transports, material flows, staging areas, and assembly processes are displayed in a central, interactive view. Your planning results become instantly visible to the entire team. The visualization is accurate, realistic, and immediately available. It transforms individual planning steps into a coherent digital model of your factory. This way stakeholders can understand and act with confidence.

Digital Twin

Your factory in one holistic model.

Production Logistics

Visualized in 3D.

Virtual Factory Models

Built to integrate with the Industrial Metaverse.

Planning Challenges in Practice

Production and logistics processes are becoming more complex, while planning cycles get shorter. This makes it harder for teams to plan material flows and assembly processes reliably, especially when information is missing, systems are incompatible, or everyone works with different data.

Lack of transparency across interfaces and dependencies

No shared view for logistics, assembly, and planning teams

Difficult communication of complex process relationships

Missing visual support for decision-making

High effort for presentations and coordination

The ipolog Factory Viewer makes planning visible and easy to understand.

Key Features at a Glance

The ipolog Factory Viewer integrates data on material staging, routes, means of transport, and time windows into a single model. 3D and 4D visualization makes layout, movements, and interrelationships directly understandable. Bottlenecks and unnecessary transports can be identified early, processes can be optimized specifically, and planning results can be validated. This reduces coordination effort and creates a reliable basis for decision-making for the entire planning team.

3D Visualization of Production and Logistics

Visualize your entire layout including material flow, assembly, and logistics areas in a realistic, interactive 3D view. Planning results can be reviewed instantly.

Utilization Analysis

Evaluate area dynamically. The visualization helps identify and optimize bottlenecks and underutilized areas.

VR Support for Reviews and Training

Enter your factory in virtual reality. Perfect for team alignment or preparing operational teams.

Perspective Control Down to Worker View

Free camera navigation allows views from a full-factory overview to an employee’s perspective. Easily review walking paths, distances, and visibility conditions.

FAQs

What is the ipolog Factory Viewer?

The Factory Viewer is a 3D visualization tool for material flow, layout, and assembly planning. It makes planning results from ipolog visually accessible. Interactive, accurate, and team-ready.

How is the Factory Viewer different from conventional 3D tools?

Unlike purely graphical solutions, the Viewer is based on real planning data from ipolog. Any changes to layouts, material provisioning, or workflows are automatically reflected in the 3D view.

What data sources can be used in the Factory Viewer?

In addition to layouts and processes planned in ipolog, you can also integrate external data such as CAD models, simulation results, or ERP data.

Is the Viewer usable without technical expertise?

Yes. The Factory Viewer is designed for intuitive use without programming knowledge. Ideal for planning reviews, team meetings, or cross-functional presentations.

Can multiple people work with the Viewer at the same time?

The Viewer is suitable for shared viewing during team sessions. All participants see the same planning view. However, the active control of the interface is managed from a single device. Simultaneous navigation or editing by multiple users is not currently possible.

Is VR supported?

Yes. The Factory Viewer supports VR applications. You can walk through your plan for training, validation, or stakeholder presentations.

What perspectives are available in the Viewer?

Camera navigation is freely adjustable. From global factory views to first-person perspectives of individual workers. This makes it easy to assess walking paths, lines of sight, and workplace setups.

How does the Factory Viewer support optimization?

By visualizing transport routes, space usage, and workflows, inefficiencies and bottlenecks become visible early and can be adjusted using data-based insights.

Can I use the Factory Viewer independently of ipolog?

The Viewer is integrated into the ipolog platform and relies on planning data created there. Standalone use is not intended. However, it can display more than just ipolog data – see point 3 for details.

Can I view only specific elements of the factory?

Yes. You can isolate and display specific components such as transports, material staging, material movement, or individual processes.
