A shopfloor represents a complete factory hall, a part of a hall or even a floor of it. This shopfloor is subdivided into different work areas (e.g. division by segments, production lines, cost center) and again in several variants, as a comparison level of your elaboration.

Structuring tips:

It makes sense to create a complete factory floor as a shopfloor, if it has only one floor, for example, or if there are dependencies between (work) areas.
If your hall consists of several floors, it is recommended to create a Shopfloor for each floor in Halocline. This way you can make better use of functions such as storing a 2D layout and maintain a smooth display even as planning progresses.
In the following we will show you how to create and import a new shopfloor and how to make changes to an existing one.

Instructions

Create a new shopfloor

  1. Start Halocline Layout & Performance on your VR computer
  2. Click on the blue "plus" icon to the left of shopfloor on the start screen and select "New".

  4. Enter a name for your shopfloor. This can be the name of the shop floor, the level or floor or the name of a project.
  5. Choose between dimensions and shopfloor environment
    1. Dimensions: Enter the length, width and height of your shopfloor in meters.
    2. Shopfloor environment Select your shop floor environment file, i.e. your architectural shop floor model.
    3. Click OK

Your shopfloor has been successfully created. Your shopfloor (in this example: "Factory floor 1") is now displayed in the selection.

Importing a shopfloor

You already have a file of your shopfloor environment (architecture of your shopfloor) that you want to import into Halocline Layout & Performance? Then please proceed as follows:

  1. Start Halocline Layout & Performance on your VR computer.
  2. Click on the blue "plus" symbol on the left side of the start screen next to Shopfloor and select "Import".

  3. Select your desired file and decide whether you want to create it from scratch or merge it with an existing store floor.
  4. Your shopfloor is now imported.

Changes to your shopfloor

If you click on the "three-dot" menu next to the shop name, the following settings and change options will appear:

  • Rename the shopfloor,
  • Export the shopfloor,
  • Duplicate the shopfloor,
  • Delete the shopfloor,
  • Manage (subsequently adjust the dimensions of the shopfloor) the shopfloor and
    adding a 2D template.

After creating or importing the store floor, it is useful to create your work areas. As soon as you have created a work area, a first variant is automatically created for it. After that, you can start planning directly by clicking the "Layout" button in Halocline Layout.
