Abstract :
Describes our 3D graphical interface for industrial process control. The software is based on Visio and WinCC. The software first builds a 3D model of the factory. This can be done using user input or automatically from industrial drawings (electronic or paper copies). Secondly, process values are attached to the scene and the process is activated and controlled through WinCC.
