01
Data without the shop floor
Charts show numbers only, not where each machine is or what state it is in right now.
RockPlus Digital Twin
3D Central Monitoring Command Center
Bring the whole workshop onto one big screen. Equipment appears in a 3D scene with the real layout, and running, stopped and fault states change color in real time. OEE, output and yield KPIs and abnormal events are overlaid, and a click on any equipment drills down to resolution, so managers can "see what is happening in the factory right now".

Monitoring Challenges
The hard part of factory monitoring
is more than "putting data on a screen"
Traditional dashboards rely on tables and charts, so equipment distribution, status and location are hard to match up, and managers often still have to walk the shop floor to see the whole plant.
02
Legacy equipment is hard to connect
Older equipment has no data interface, so status depends on manual rounds and cannot join unified monitoring.
03
Metrics scattered across systems
OEE, output, yield, SPC, maintenance and calibration sit in different systems and are hard to see on one screen.
04
Long path after an exception is found
Once an exception is spotted, staff must switch between several systems to check details and find owners, making the response chain too long.

08 / ADAPTIVE
Multi-Resolution Adaptive Display
The interface adapts to different resolutions and video walls, and a two-level menu manages the scene hierarchy.
From Data to Insight
From collection to factory tour: see the whole plant on one screen
Once equipment status and metrics from each system are brought together, they are presented in one 3D scene, and exceptions are found and handled from a single entry point.
01
Collection & Aggregation
While equipment runs, a collector box reads tower light signals or status is obtained through API, and written to real-time and historical status databases. Metrics and abnormal events are also synchronized periodically from MES and other systems.
Equipment StatusTower Light SignalsAPI IntegrationMetric Sync
02
3D Presentation
The big screen polls and refreshes at a set interval. Workshops, lines and equipment change color with status, and floor areas can change color with status too, so exceptions stand out at a glance.

03
Inspection & Handling
Managers roam the plant for inspection; on-duty engineers click equipment to view details, parameters and photos, then drill down to MES or report pages to handle exceptions.

Data Collection
Two collection channels: legacy equipment connects without modification
Choose the collection method by how open the equipment is: plug-and-play for older equipment, direct integration for new systems.
CHANNEL 1
Tower Light Signal Collection
A collector box reads the red, yellow and green signals of the tri-color tower light and converts them into digital status. Suited to existing equipment without an interface.
CHANNEL 2
System API Integration
Get station, fixture and carrier status through API. Suited to equipment and systems with open interfaces.
SYNC
Scheduled Metric Sync
Periodically pull OEE, output, yield, SPC, maintenance and calibration metrics from MES and other systems.
SNAPSHOT
Data Snapshot Archive
Interface data is kept as both current and historical copies, and abnormal events leave a record that can be traced and reviewed.
Status changes show up directly in the scene
Equipment status is not listed in a table; it acts directly on the color of the 3D model. Different states are easy to tell apart, and abnormal equipment naturally becomes the visual focus of the big screen.
RunningEquipment is producing normally, and the model shows the running status color
StoppedEquipment has stopped, with status start time and duration shown
FaultEquipment is alarming, and the model changes color and stands out for quick location
Status DurationReal-time and historical status tables support downtime duration and blocking analysis
Floor ColorsFloor areas can change color with overall status for an intuitive view of the whole situation

FAQ
Common questions about equipment connection, model updates and system integration.
Can legacy equipment without a data interface be connected to the digital twin?
Yes. The system offers two collection channels: for existing equipment without an interface, a collector box reads the tri-color signal tower light to get running, stopped and fault status; for new equipment or systems with open interfaces, it connects directly through API. Equipment can be digitized without being modified.
Do equipment models in the 3D scene need a new release when they are replaced or added?
No. Equipment models are uploaded to the server as asset packages and loaded dynamically by the client on demand, so replacing or adding equipment models does not require releasing a new client program.
Can it work with an existing MES or reporting system?
Yes. The system can periodically synchronize OEE, output, yield, SPC, maintenance and calibration metrics from MES or smart factory interfaces. Equipment detail pages and side buttons can also be configured to jump to MES, report or other system pages for one-click drill-down. The exact integration approach is assessed against the customer's system interfaces.
How is a digital twin different from an ordinary electronic dashboard?
An ordinary dashboard shows data in charts and tables. A digital twin models workshops, lines and equipment as a 3D scene with the real layout, shows equipment status directly as color changes on the models, and supports roaming factory tours and click-to-drill-down queries, presenting 'what is happening in the factory right now' more intuitively.
