Advanced 3D visualization for manufacturing and facility controls

Today´s manufacturing and building operations are faced with the need to reduce cost and be more competitive with the fewest of resources. Connectivity to different infrastructures for data gathering and the need to analyze and visualize data in real time is ever more important in today´s economic environment. Recently, visualization systems have taken a giant step forward incorporating advanced hardware accelerated 3D graphics into standard off-the commercial product. As a result, providing compelling 3D graphics applications and having access to plant data is the key to having a competitive advantage. This paper presents a whole new powerful approach to visualization of manufacturing that greatly reduces the learning curve for developing Human Machine Interface (HMI) applications.
