DataMesh Inspector Command Center

< All Topics

This chapter introduces Command Center from a practical usage perspective. Based on the daily workflow of operations personnel, it explains the process in the following order:

Enter Scene → Browse and Analyze → Locate Device → View and Handle Alerts

In daily operations, an Operations Manager typically uses Command Center as follows:

  1. Enter the target park or building from the large-scale scene list.
  2. Browse the spatial structure and operational status in the 3D scene.
  3. Use spatial navigation, alert indicators, or asset information to locate devices or areas of interest.
  4. Review and evaluate alert information to determine whether further action or on-site intervention is required.
  5. Confirm the alert and decide whether to arrange on-site handling.
  6. After the issue is resolved, close the alert and track the overall handling result.

This chapter explains each functional module in Command Center based on the workflow above.

Alert handling workflow

DataMesh Inspector uses a collaborative alert-handling model:

Monitoring and management in Command Center + On-site verification and execution in Inspector (Mobile Application).

The process focuses on alert management and decision-making. The Operations Manager evaluates and manages alert status in Command Center, and arranges on-site verification by frontline personnel when necessary.

Typical alert handling workflow:

  1. Alert is generated

When the device operating data triggers the alert rules, the alert information is generated by DFS and synchronized to DataMesh Inspector.

The alert will be associated with a specific device and its respective spaces, serving as the starting point for subsequent analysis and management.

  1. Monitoring system discovers and analyzes alerts (Command Center)

In Command Center, the Operations Manager:

  • Browses large-scale scenes and overall operational status.
  • Views alert details in the Alert Management interface.
  • Analyzes the alert based on:
    • Alert level and type
    • Associated device and spatial location
    • Device operational status, historical records, and existing notes

The core objective of this stage is:

To determine whether the alert is real, whether it is important, and whether on-site intervention is needed.

  1. Confirm the alert and decide on-site handling

After completing the analysis, the Operations Manager makes a management decision:

  • On-Site Handling Is Not Required
    After confirming the cause, the alert can be directly closed in Command Center.
  • On-Site Verification or Handling Is Required
    The Operations Manager acknowledges the alert in Command Center, then notifies the frontline operations personnel to go to the site for handling through offline methods (for example, verbally, by phone, or through shift arrangements)

Note: Confirming an alert means it has entered the handling process. It does not mean the issue has been resolved.

  1. Perform on-site inspection and verification (Inspector Mobile Application)

Frontline operations personnel use Inspector (Mobile Application) to complete on-site verification and execution, including:

  • Viewing the device information associated with confirmed alerts.
  • Searching for the device in asset management, confirming device names and their respective spaces.
  • Scanning the positioning marker to enter the corresponding space’s MR scene overlay view.
  • In the MR scene, combining the model position with device information to locate the target device, and checking its position, pipeline relationships, and concealed engineering conditions.
  • Using notes to record on-site findings and processing instructions.

Notes:

  • Location markers are used for space-level location and are not mapped one-to-one to a specific device.
    In some projects, location markers may be placed near the key device to improve convenience. After entering the MR scene, users must still confirm the exact device location using device information and the scene model.
  • Inspector is used for on-site verification and information recording. It does not support alert status management.
  1. Close the alert and complete the process (Command Center)

After the on-site issue is handled, the Operations Manager in the Command Center:

  • Combine on-site feedback and note records
  • Determine whether the issue has been resolved
  • Execute the close operation on the alert.

Once the alert is closed, its lifecycle ends, forming a complete closed loop.

In subsequent versions:

  • The on-site handling process will support management through work orders or tasks.
  • The alert’s closed status can be associated with the work order completion status.

3D scene browsing and analysis

Applies to:

  • Operations Manager (view and analysis)
  • Operations Director (view only)

This section introduces how to browse, analyze, and assess the operational status of buildings or parks through a three-dimensional scene in the DataMesh Inspector Command Center, and how to assist operational decision-making by combining alerts and device information.
In the 3D scene of Command Center, there are two primary perspectives depending on your focus.

  • Spatial Hierarchy View: Used to view the overall operational situation, alert distribution, and key indicators from spatial dimensions such as parks, buildings, or floors.
  • Device View: Used to view the basic information, operational status, relationships, and notes of a device.

Spatial hierarchy view (Scene homepage and lower-level spaces)

After entering a large-scale scene, the system loads the root node of the spatial structure (such as a park or building) by default. The corresponding 3D scene and operational status information for that level are displayed.

The spatial hierarchical view is the main working interface for operation and maintenance personnel to observe the overall situation, discover alerts, and analyze problems. It is typically used for:

  • Viewing the spatial structure of a park or building from a holistic perspective.
  • Quickly understanding the current operational situation, key indicators, and alert distribution.
  • Serving as the starting point for subsequent drill-down analysis, device location, and alert handling.

Interface Components

The Spatial Hierarchy View typically includes:

  • 3D Scene Area

Located in the center of the interface, it is used to display the 3D digital twin scene of the building or park. Users can browse the spatial structure, observe device distribution, and conduct visual analysis using scene analysis tools in this area.

  • Scene analysis tools

Located above the 3D scene. Includes measurement, section cut, transparency adjustment, and note tools.

These tools support analysis only and do not affect original data or device statuses.

  • Spatial navigation and hierarchical switching

Displays the spatial hierarchy (for example, park, building, floor). Allows quick switching between spatial levels to narrow the scope of analysis.

  • Data Dashboard (Configurable)

Displays business data and visual components associated with the current space level, such as operational metrics, energy consumption trends, alert overview, or Top 5 alerts, etc.

Instructions and notes

  • The interface shown in this manual is for reference only.
  • Dashboard content, layout, and components depend on project configuration.
  • Different projects or space levels may display different chart types or layouts.
  • Variations in dashboard configuration do not affect core workflows such as scene browsing, device location, or alert handling.

Usage Recommendations

  • Operations Directors typically remain at the Spatial Hierarchy View to review overall operational status and key indicators.
  • Operations Managers can drill down into buildings or floors when abnormal trends or critical alerts are identified.

Data Dashboard display rules

The Data Dashboard reflects the operational status and alert distribution within the current spatial scope.

Display rules:

  • The dashboard is always associated with the current spatial level.
  • When switching levels via Spatial Navigation, the dashboard updates accordingly.
  • The root node may represent either a park or a building, depending on project configuration.
  • Dashboard components and layout are project-specific.
  • Dashboard differences do not affect core workflows.

Spatial navigation and hierarchical switching

The spatial hierarchy panel is used to display and switch the spatial hierarchy of buildings or parks and serves as the main entry point for hierarchical analysis and quick localization.

Spatial hierarchy typically includes:

  • Park
  • Building
  • Floor
  • Room

By clicking on a spatial node, you can:

  • Focus on the corresponding space within the current 3D scene.
  • or jump to the sub-scene bound to that space (for example, entering a floor from a building).

Usage Recommendations

  • Space navigation is suitable for scenarios that analyze from the whole to the part by narrowing the scope layer by layer.
  • When alerts or anomalies are concentrated in a particular area, it is recommended to drill down step by step via space navigation (for example: park → building → floor) to quickly pinpoint the spatial level where the issue occurs.
  • Before locating a specific device, first clarify the analysis scope using space navigation to help reduce interference from unrelated devices.

Scene view controls

In the 3D scene, you can freely adjust the perspective using the mouse to observe the distribution of space and devices from different angles

  • Pan: Drag with the left mouse button
  • Rotate: Drag with the right mouse button
  • Zoom: Scroll the mouse wheel

Usage Recommendations

  • Scene-perspective operations are mainly used to observe the spatial structure, device distribution, and the relative positional relationships between devices.
  • In scenes with complex building structures or densely distributed devices, it is recommended to combine rotation and scaling operations and view the device layout from side or top-down perspectives.
  • Before performing device location or alert analysis, first adjust to an appropriate viewpoint to help improve operational efficiency and the accuracy of judgments.

Scene analysis tools

The scene analysis tools provided at the top of the 3D scene interface are used to assist operations personnel in spatial and device analysis within the three-dimensional scene, mainly serving scenarios such as alert assessment, device location, and impact scope analysis.

These tools are only for visual and analytical assistance and will not have any effect on scene data, device status, or alert rules.

Instructions

  • The scene analysis tools are used to assist in the visual analysis of spaces and devices, primarily serving alert assessment, device location, and impact scope analysis.
  • All analysis tools only affect the current view presentation and will not modify any original data, device status, or alert rules.
  • The scene analysis tools are mainly used during the analysis and judgment phase and are not a required step in the alert handling process.
  • Analytical results are normally used to support the following decisions:
    • Whether further device location is required.
    • Whether it is necessary to drill down to a smaller spatial level.
    • Whether an on-site inspection needs to be arranged.

Measurement Tool

Measures the distance between two points in the 3D scene.

Typical application scenarios:

  • Determining whether the spatial distance between devices meets installation or maintenance requirements.
  • Assisting in the analysis of pipeline routing, device spacing, or the width of spatial passages.
  • During alert analysis, assess the spatial relationships between the anomalous device and surrounding facilities.

Steps

  1. Click Measure to enter measurement mode.
  2. Click the first point in the scene as the measurement start point. By default, the measurement direction is arbitrary.
  3. Press Shift to toggle measurement direction:
    • X-axis direction
    • Y-axis direction
    • Z-axis direction
    • Any direction (not locked)
  4. After confirming the required measurement direction, click the second point in the scene to complete a measurement and display the measured distance.
  5. Repeat as needed for multiple measurements.
  6. Select a measurement line to delete it, or click Clear Measurements to remove all.
  7. Click Back to exit.

Note:

  • Measurement points can snap to the model’s surface or edges to improve measurement accuracy.
  • Measurement results are for the current analysis only and will not be saved.

Section tool

Cuts the model to reveal internal structures hidden by walls, floors, or ceilings.

Typical application scenarios:

  • View device or pipelines hidden by walls, floors, or ceilings.
  • Analyze the spatial relationships between concealed works and the device.
  • Assist in locating the true spatial position of the device in scenes with complex building structures.

Steps:

  1. Click Section in the spatial scene hierarchy to enter section mode.
  2. Drag the section plane within the scene to perform localized sectioning of the model.
  3. Sections can be made from different directions to view internal structures more clearly.
  4. Click Back to restore the scene model and return to the default view.

Note:

  • Sectioning only affects the current view display and does not modify scene data.
  • When the current scene is organized by floors, sectioning is mainly used to view the internal structures of floors.

Opacity adjustment

Reduces visual obstruction to highlight devices or structures.

Typical application scenarios:

  • Quickly identify the target device within multi-layer structures.
  • View upstream and downstream relationships of the device in pipeline-dense areas.

Steps

  1. Click Opacity in the spatial scene hierarchy to enter opacity adjustment mode.
  2. Select the models to be adjusted in the scene. You can press Shift to multi-select.
  3. Use the slider or enter numeric values to uniformly adjust the opacity of the selected models.

  • Opacity adjustments affect only the current view and will not be saved.

Notes List (Analysis and Management Assistance)

The notes list is used to centrally view and manage recorded notes within the 3D scene and serves as an important aid during the scene analysis phase.

In building-, floor-, or park-level 3D scenes, operations personnel can use the scene notes list to perform retrospective analysis and localization of devices or components within the current scene from the perspective of “issue records.”

Function Description

In the notes list, you can:

  • View note records within the current scene.
  • Quickly locate target devices or components in the 3D scene through the locate icon.
  • View note details and comment records, and mark notes as resolved after the issue has been handled.

Instructions

  • The scene-level notes list starts from “Issue / Record” and does not depend on pre-selecting a specific device.
  • Notes are mainly used for analysis and management assistance and do not affect the device’s raw data, alert rules, or system runtime status.
  • After locating a device through the notes list, you can further enter the device information interface for detailed viewing and management.

Note: Notes, as analysis and management records during operation, can be used for issue tracing and collaborative communication.

Locate the target device

In the Command Center’s 3D scene, you can quickly locate target device in multiple ways and view the device information or perform subsequent management operations within the scene context.

Different localization methods are suitable for different starting points of work, but all ultimately complete the device location and highlighting within the 3D scene.

  • Notes and color markings are only used for runtime records and do not affect the original device data.
  • Note content is synchronized between the Command Center and Inspector (Mobile Application).

Alert management (viewing and handling)

This section explains how to centrally view and handle alerts in the Command Center (PC Application). Alert management helps operations personnel grasp system anomalies from an overall perspective and to assess, follow up on, and update the status of alerts.

The Command Center and Inspector use a unified alert management mechanism; this section serves as the complete description of alert management.

Applicable Roles:

  • Operations Manager

After entering the large-scale scene, you can view the alert information within the current scene through the alert management interface.

Overview of the alert management interface

An alert management interface typically includes the following items:

  • Alert statistics and trend information
    Displays the total number of alerts, trend changes, and the distribution of alert severity levels within the selected time range, used for quickly understanding the overall alert situation.
  • Alert list
    Presents specific alert entries in a list format, including alert name, related device, alert location, alert type, alert severity, status, and occurrence time, among other information.

View alert list

In the alert list, you can:

  • Browse current alert information to understand the distribution of alerts.
  • Quickly identify alerts that require priority attention by alert severity and status.
  • Sort or filter alerts as needed based on actual requirements.

The alert list is the primary entry point for alert analysis and subsequent handling.

View alert details

Click any alert entry in the alert list to enter the alert details page.

In the alert details, you can perform the following actions on an alert according to the actual situation:

  • View the basic information of the alert.
  • Understand the alert occurrence time and the record of status changes.
  • Determine whether an alert requires further handling or on-site intervention.

Note:

The alert details page is used for viewing alert information and performing status actions. It does not support direct navigation to the target device. To locate the device associated with the alert, you can view the device details in Asset Management or use the alert location methods outlined in Section Locate the Target Device.

Alert handling operation

In the alert details page, you can perform the following actions based on the situation:

  • Confirm Alert
    Indicates that the alert has been confirmed and entered the processing workflow. It helps define alert responsibility and track follow-up status.
  • Close Alert
    Indicates that the issue associated with the alert has been resolved or no further action is needed. The alert’s lifecycle ends.

Instructions for use

  • The rules for generating alerts and the meaning of alert fields are defined and configured by the DFS platform. Command Center does not provide alert rule configuration capabilities.
  • Alert handling is mainly used for monitoring and scheduling during the operation phase and does not indicate that on-site operations are completed.
  • If an alert involves on-site device inspection, please carry out follow-up handling in conjunction with Asset Management and Inspector (Mobile / MR Applications).

The Operations Manager can determine whether on-site handling is needed based on alert severity, impact range, and device status.

For alerts that do not require on-site handling, they can be confirmed or closed directly in the Command Center.

Asset management

Asset Management is used to centrally view and analyze device status from the perspective of device lists and information, complementing device viewing in the 3D scene.
