3D SCADA

3D SCADA with Sym3 Operator

Sym3 Operator is the ultimate operations management tool, enabling you to build world class HMI/SCADA solutions.

A detailed, dynamic 3D view of your site, coupled with the real-time Product Live Tracking and display of associated data, drives better informed and more responsive operational management.

Sym3 Operator is built for rapid development – the 3D model enables significant reductions in engineering time to produce views of your site – just shoot and snap! With Sym3’s built-in ‘animator’ functions, many of the laborious tasks of the HMI/SCADA engineer are eliminated.

Sym3 Operator also allows you to tap into the huge online resource of existing 3D models from the internet or to create your own 3D components using standard 3D tools. Import these into Sym3 and it will animate to replicate real life behavior providing a degree of customization never before possible.

3D Layout configuration

Configure layouts quickly by using simple drag-and-drop & plug-and-play features
