A Completely Immersive 3D Interface Bridging Physical Infrastructure with Logical Orchestration

Navigate from building exterior to individual port. In real time. With live data.

Assetspire's Digital Twin isn't a simplified floorplan — it's a full 3D, real-time representation of your data centre estate. Navigate from the building exterior down to individual rack units, see devices rendered with photorealistic texture packs, and watch live power and thermal data visualised as volumetric heatmaps directly in the 3D space.

Import your existing architectural drawings (DWG/DXF files), extrude them into 3D floorplans with layer-by-layer control, and populate them with racks, devices, and furniture — all positioned to match your physical environment. Template any configuration, version it, and roll out identical builds across multiple sites in minutes, not months.

The Digital Twin isn't just a visualisation layer — it's an operational tool. Simulate deployments before touching physical hardware, validate spatial and power constraints, monitor live metrics overlaid on the physical model, and use the layout builder to plan rack configurations with drag-and-drop precision. ---

Immersive 3D Navigation — Top to Bottom

The entire infrastructure hierarchy is rendered in real-time 3D:

  • Full Hierarchy: Navigate seamlessly from Organisation → Datacenter → Building → Floor → Room → Area → Rack → Device → Card/Port
  • Precise Positioning: Every component has configurable X/Y/Z offsets, rotation controls, and bounding box dimensions
  • Performance Optimised: Cached bounding boxes and level-of-detail controls ensure smooth navigation even across estates with thousands of racks
  • Multiple Mesh Types: Racks, devices, static objects (doors, containment walls, cooling units), and furniture are all rendered with distinct mesh types
  • Pre-Built Mesh Library: Extensive library of pre-built 3D meshes in GLB format for common data centre equipment
  • Cinematic Navigation: Smooth camera transitions when clicking between hierarchy levels

From Architectural Drawings to 3D — In Minutes

Bring your existing floorplans directly into the digital twin:

  • Full DWG/DXF Support: Import industry-standard architectural drawing files with automatic layer detection
  • Layer Control: Toggle visibility, adjust opacity, set background-only mode, and assign furniture types per layer — giving you granular control over what appears in the 3D view
  • 3D Extrusion: Flat 2D floorplan layers are extruded into 3D geometry — walls become solid walls, rooms become enclosed spaces, furniture becomes 3D objects
  • Dimension Detection: The importer automatically detects height and width from the architectural drawing metadata
  • Position & Rotation: Fine-tune X/Y/Z offsets and rotation to align the imported geometry with your coordinate system
  • Large Floorplan Support: Tile-based rendering and simplification options handle even the most complex architectural drawings without performance degradation

Every Port. Every Connector. Rendered.

The digital twin goes beyond rack and device level — it renders individual ports and connectors:

  • Full Port Representation: Every physical port on a device is rendered in 3D with accurate positioning
  • Connector Type System: Different connector types (RJ45, LC fibre, power, etc.) are rendered with their own 3D meshes, scale, and rotation
  • Status-Aware Colouring: Ports are colour-coded by connection status — Available (green), Connected (blue), Reserved (orange), Disabled (grey)
  • Real-Time Updates: When a cable is connected or disconnected, the port colour updates automatically via a signal chain — no page refresh required
  • Labels & Identification: Ports display configurable labels for easy identification

Plan Rack Configurations with Drag-and-Drop Precision

The Layout Builder provides a visual interface for planning and managing rack contents:

Plan Rack Configurations with Drag-and-Drop Precision

  • Modal-Based Planning: Open the layout builder for any rack to see its current contents and available space
  • Template Selector: Rapidly populate racks using saved device templates — select a template and it fills the rack with the correct equipment in the correct positions
  • Split Rack Functionality: Divide a rack into sections for shared tenancy or logical separation
  • Mounting Area System: Three mounting types — Bay mounting (multiple devices sharing space), Slot mounting (exclusive single-device), and Physical space placement
  • Overlap Validation: The system validates that devices don't overlap or exceed rack capacity, with configurable enforcement levels
  • Alignment Controls: Fine-tune device positioning within the rack with manual mounting area overrides

Photorealistic Device Visualisation

Build precise texture packs that make your digital twin match reality:

[ASSET PENDING DEVELOPMENT]

Photorealistic Device Visualisation

  • Six-Face Texturing: Assign different texture images to each face of a device — front, rear, left, right, top, and bottom
  • Live 3D Preview: See your texture changes rendered in real-time on a 3D model as you work
  • Two Device States: Configure separate textures for "Standard" (closed) and "Open" (maintenance) states
  • Smart Substitution Rules: Apply textures efficiently with automatic substitution (front copies to all faces, front↔rear mirror, left↔right mirror, top↔bottom mirror)
  • Save Strategies: "Save as New" creates a unique texture pack for this device, while "Update All" propagates changes to every device sharing the same pack
  • Shell Mesh Overlay: Assign optional 3D shell meshes per state for complex device geometries
  • Interactive Face Selection: Click on any face of the 3D preview to select it — faces highlight with a breathing animation on hover

Template Once. Deploy Everywhere.

Create reusable templates from any component configuration and deploy them at scale:

  • Template from Anything: Create a template from a single device, a fully populated rack, or an entire room layout — including all nested components and their configurations
  • Version Control: Templates are versioned — each change creates a new version, and the system tracks which instances are running which version
  • Update All: When you update a template, choose "Update All" to propagate changes to every instance across your estate simultaneously
  • Detach Instances: Individual instances that have been customised can be detached from the template — they keep their current configuration but stop receiving updates
  • Wizard-Based Instantiation: A step-by-step wizard guides users through creating new instances from a template, with per-component parameter customisation
  • Dynamic Conditional Fields: The wizard adapts its fields based on component type — location templates show dimension fields, device templates show placement options
  • Background Processing: Large template instantiations (entire room builds) run as background tasks with real-time progress tracking
  • Usage Tracking: See how many active instances exist for each template

See Temperature as a Living Cloud

Overlay live thermal data directly in the 3D space as volumetric heatmaps:

  • Tri-State Mode: Toggle between Disabled (no overlay), Isolated (discrete temperature spheres at sensor positions), and Gradient (full volumetric cloud with smooth interpolation between sensors)
  • Volumetric Rendering: The gradient mode uses ray-marching to create a true 3D thermal cloud — not a flat colour overlay, but a volumetric field you can see through and around
  • Sensor Positioning: Temperature sensors are positioned either manually or auto-calculated from the meter's physical location within the component hierarchy
  • Colour Mapping: Temperature values map to a configurable colour spectrum (cool blue → warm yellow → hot red)
  • Real-Time Data: Heatmaps update from live sensor feeds, showing thermal conditions as they change
  • Sensor Tooltips: Hover over any sensor marker to see its current reading, historical trend, and component details

Live Data. Rendered on the Infrastructure.

Overlay live operational metrics directly on the 3D model of your infrastructure:

  • Multiple Visualisation Strategies:
  • Latest Value: Colour components based on the most recent metric reading
  • Spectrum Value: Map values to a colour spectrum (green → yellow → red)
  • Range Intensity: Show how close a value is to a threshold with intensity gradients
  • Trend Analysis: Colour based on whether values are trending up, down, or stable
  • Multi-Series Spectrum: When a metric has multiple series (e.g., power per phase), show a vertical gradient with per-series colour bands
  • Per-Component Colouring: Each rack, device, or area is individually coloured based on its aggregated sensor data
  • Interactive Tooltips: Hover over any component to see detailed metric information including current values, sparkline trend charts, and per-series breakdowns
  • Label Filtering: Group and filter metrics by label dimensions — for example, view power draw per phase, per circuit, or per meter to isolate specific aspects of your infrastructure

Complete Physical Representation

Section Heading: "Complete Physical Representation"

Content:

The digital twin doesn't stop at racks and devices — represent the complete physical environment:

  • DWG-Sourced Furniture: Import furniture positions directly from architectural drawing layers with type assignment per layer
  • Manual Placement: Add static objects (doors, containment systems, walls, cooling units) manually with precise positioning
  • Multi-Component Assemblies: Complex static objects can be composed of multiple sub-components
  • Material System: State-aware materials with standard, open, and preview rendering modes
