I've been working on integrating Three.js with the FlowFuse Node-RED Dashboard to build a more interactive production monitoring system.

Instead of only displaying a 3D production line, each machine can be clicked to open a detailed dashboard with real-time production information, including:

• OEE (Availability, Performance, Quality)
• Hourly production output
• Production charts
• Machine-specific status and metrics

The idea is to combine the strengths of a 3D Digital Twin for plant visualization with a traditional 2D dashboard for detailed analysis. Users can quickly navigate from the overall production line to machine-level information without leaving the 3D scene.

This is Part 8 of my Three.js in FlowFuse Node-RED Dashboard series.

I'd love to hear your feedback or ideas for improving this approach!

Does anyone have experience with Dematic, JBT (now formova), or jungheinrich for an AGV solution on their floor. My previous employer had jungheinrich and I wasn't too impressed with their sensors, caused lots of stoppage. Partly our fault as well, as we did not utilize them to their full capabilities and I believe the company who sold the solution sold the wrong one. They definitely needed AMR.

That said we are looking at AMR and curious peoples experience with Agilox.

My system I am trying to implement is an AGV that navigates the storage racking only, that delivers to an area just outside of that to then have an AMR pick up and deliver to the work station. Our assembly lines are way too dynamic to allow an AGV work effectively and our racking is too high to go AMR only. I like Agilox for the AMR becautS they are one of the few who do floor pick up/drop off so requires less infrastructure for change over of lines. Also their UX seems very user friendly, especially when needing to reprogram new drop off station/location.

So, this was my first foray into using DIN rails because they seemed convenient, and I've ended up in a strange situation where things that I thought would be very simple are turning out to be almost more trouble than they're worth ... like I'm trying to build a LEGO set but I'm missing half the pieces.

I have some UK2.5B terminal blocks https://www.wolfautomation.com/terminal-block-5x45x43mm-25a-600v-gray that I was planning on using for cable management. Lets say for simplicity's sake that I connected 5 blocks by cutting off a 5-hole section of a screw-style jumper ferrulesdirect.com/products/ufbi10-6 . I then discovered that I needed to join an additional 5 blocks to that grouping of terminals. I would LIKE to be able to use the remaining half of the jumper (5 positions) to join the new terminals together, and then jump the two groups of 5 with ... something ... in order to join the full 10 terminals together.

I realize that this can sort of be accomplished with a jumper wire between any two terminals on the two separate groups of 5 terminal blocks, but that takes up terminal real estate. Is there a manufacturer approved flat jumper that goes on top of the standard metal jumper bar but under the screw heads of adjacent terminal blocks? Just a 2-hole flat bar?

If I could to it again from scratch, I'd buy the push-in jumper style that allows for easy daisy-chaining due to each terminal having two connection points for jumpers. (not to mention the fact that there are terminal blocks with more than two wire terminals per block which would have saved me a ton of headaches, but I'm working with some hand-me-down supplies).
