Digital Twin Included with Network & Operations

Your warehouse, mapped exactly the way it's built.

Import your layout from Excel, drag and drop it into shape, then watch WiFi coverage, scan activity and live picking play out on the same floorplan - not a static drawing that's out of date the day it's printed.

Not a fourth module to buy. The Digital Twin is the shared floorplan behind CT Network's coverage heatmaps and CT Operations' activity views - set up once, used by both.

Why

A PDF floorplan can't tell you where today's problem is.

Most warehouses have a layout drawing somewhere - in a drawer, on a wall, or as a PDF nobody's opened in months. It shows where the racking is. It says nothing about where coverage is weak right now, or where your pickers actually are.

For the Warehouse Manager

What you actually want to see
  • Where is scanning activity concentrated right now - and where is the floor sitting idle?
  • Which aisle is a picker in at this exact moment, without walking over to check?
  • What did yesterday's afternoon shift actually look like, floor by floor?

For the IT / Ops lead

What it replaces
  • A static CAD drawing that's already wrong after the next re-slotting.
  • A separate WiFi survey map that has nothing to do with where people actually scan.
  • Spreadsheets and tribal knowledge standing in for a real, current picture of the floor.
How

From a spreadsheet to a live floorplan, in three steps.

No CAD software, no consultant on-site, no waiting weeks for a drawing to be finalized.

1

Build it in minutes, not weeks

Import your existing location list from Excel to lay out the floorplan automatically, then drag and drop to fine-tune it - move locations, draw aisles, and mark pick-start points exactly where they are on your floor.

2

See two heatmaps on the same floorplan

Switch between a WiFi signal-strength overlay and a scan-count overlay to spot dead zones, or find out exactly where scanning activity is concentrated, bay by bay.

3

Scrub back in time, or watch it happen live

Pick a period - the last hour, day, week, or a custom range - to see what coverage or activity looked like yesterday. During a live shift, a location lights up the instant a scan happens there.

What this looks like in practice

The real floorplan, not a mockup.

This is the actual Digital Twin view from the portal - the controls below are all live, not illustrative.

Overlays & time range

Same floorplan, whichever lens you need.

The WiFi and Scanning overlays toggle independently, each with its own colour-coded strength scale. The period selector - 1H, 4H, 1D, 1W, 1M, or a custom range - replays exactly what the floor looked like during that window, and a Refresh toggle keeps it live when you want the current picture instead.

  • Bay View or Location View, depending on how granular you need to go
  • Hover any bay for its average WiFi signal and total scan count
  • A dedicated Bay Details panel - zone, aisle, bay, dimensions, and activity stats - for whichever bay you click

Built once, used by two modules

Network sees coverage. Operations sees activity. Same map.

With CT Network

Coverage, not just a signal number
  • The WiFi heatmap overlay turns raw RSSI readings into a picture anyone can read at a glance
  • Weak zones stand out immediately - no need to cross-reference a spreadsheet with a drawing
  • The same threshold alerts described on the Network page are what triggers behind the scenes

With CT Operations

Where the work is actually happening
  • The scan-activity heatmap shows exactly where pick volume concentrates over a shift, a day, or a week
  • During a live shift, each scan lights up its location on the map in real time
  • The same activity data feeds the slotting recommendations described on the Operations page
Frequently asked

Common questions about the warehouse Digital Twin.

What is a warehouse digital twin?

An interactive, to-scale floorplan of your actual warehouse - zones, aisles, racking and pick-start points - overlaid with live data instead of being a static drawing. The same floorplan can show a WiFi signal-strength heatmap, a scan-activity heatmap, or live pick activity as it happens.

Do I need to draw my warehouse layout manually?

No. Start with an Excel import of your existing location list to lay out the floorplan automatically, then fine-tune it with drag and drop - move locations, draw aisles, and place pick-start points exactly where they are on the floor. No CAD software, no waiting on a consultant.

Can I see historical WiFi coverage or pick activity, not just live?

Yes. Pick a period - the last hour, day, week, or a custom range - and the floorplan replays what coverage or scanning activity looked like during that window, not just right now.

Is the Digital Twin a separate product I need to buy?

No. It's the shared visual layer behind CT Network's coverage heatmaps and CT Operations' activity views, rather than a fourth standalone module. The floorplan itself is set up on a Time & Material basis alongside whichever module you're using it with.

The Digital Twin comes with Network and Operations.

Set up once on a Time & Material basis, then it's live for whichever module you're using - see the full pricing breakdown, or talk to us about your layout.
