PlantQuest are excited to announce our technology partnership with NavVis, combining high-precision reality capture with PlantQuest OneView to deliver immersive, operational digital twins for operation and maintenance teams within manufacturing facilities.
By integrating NavVis LiDAR and 360° environments directly into PlantQuest’s interactive mapping platform, O&M teams gain true site visibility — connecting assets, alarms, way-finding, and real-time operational context in one unified visual twin. This integrated solution is already proven across life science and complex manufacturing environments, helping teams plan faster, operate safer, and execute with confidence.
If you’ve ever tried to digitise an operational manufacturing facility, you’ll know the reality:
At PlantQuest, we exist to fix these issues. We turn complex, working facilities into an intuitive digital facility and asset mapping platform that operations, maintenance, and EHS teams can actually use — while also connecting the physical world of manufacturing with digital systems like CMMS, BMS and MES.
Now, we’ve taken that one step further.
Using NavVis mobile LiDAR and 360° capture technology, entire facilities can now be scanned at walking speed. No shutdowns. No complex survey campaigns. No six-month wait for data.
That visual data is then integrated straight into PlantQuest OneView, fully and geospatially aligned with your:
The result? You can click on an area in your PlantQuest map and instantly:
For senior leaders, this means visibility and confidence. For engineers and technicians, it means fewer surprises, better planning, and safer execution.
This isn’t a “nice-looking model” that lives in a disconnected viewer. This is a working digital twin, embedded directly into how manufacturing sites operate day-to-day.
It supports:
Inside the 360° visual environment, users can see:
All with the same location logic, hierarchy, and workflows already used across PlantQuest — now enhanced with immersive visual context.
This isn’t theoretical—it’s already up and running:
In both cases, teams moved from static PDFs, folders, and fragmented drawings to a single, visual, interactive view of their manufacturing environment that anyone—from site leadership to technicians—can access in seconds.
One of the biggest barriers to digital transformation on live manufacturing sites is time. Traditional scanning projects drag on. Data takes months to surface. Momentum gets lost—while production keeps moving.
With PlantQuest + NavVis, that changes completely:
That means:
And critically—it can all be deployed without disrupting manufacturing or live production.
If you’re responsible for digital transformation across operations, maintenance, EHS, or manufacturing systems, you already know the challenge.
You can’t transform what you can’t clearly see.
By combining:
We’re closing the gap between:
“Our goal has always been to build a digital twin that people actually use—not something that just looks good on a slide. Partnering with NavVis gives us survey-grade 3D facility data directly inside PlantQuest, aligned to live operations, maintenance, safety, and manufacturing workflows. This is about practical value on real sites, not tech for tech’s sake.”
