Plant Floor Guide

As a registered user, you can easily upload a bird’s eye view of your plant, warehouse, or location using the Plant Floor feature. This feature allows you to mark your Plant Floor with location pins and associated Product Lists. You can see existing Plant Floor layouts, navigate to all Product Lists, and more. You can even create a new list or check the items in a list before attaching it to a Plant Floor pin. Learn to use this powerful tool and become an expert in a few easy steps.

The link to the Plant Floor feature can be found on the homepage under the quick links section or in the main menu.

To create a new Plant Floor layout on the main Plant Floor page, click “Create New Plant Floor.” Upload an image representation of the plant, warehouse, shop, or location that you want to map into your Motion account. Name the new Plant Floor and choose an Entity type and Department. You can choose between department level or production line level. Department level allows you to attach production line and machine level pins, while production line level Plant Floor only allows you to attach machine level pins. Click “Save.”
