What it does

Explore an automotive digital twin with robotic production cells, an aligned process atlas, equipment panels and incident replay. Move from the production floor into a credited Gaussian room capture with utility trends and simulated operating signals.

The complete local development showcase now runs inside an Ignition Perspective project, hosted by the native Dimension Engine module. Automotive, Gaussian Studio, facility and process maps, water and steel plants, GPU experiments, and Super Maintenance Bros. share one application. Native HMI dashboards open within the Perspective session.

Play Super Maintenance Bros.

Run, jump and restart a procedural factory. Cross conveyors, power the lift and restore the line, or choose a guided run. The native project connects the game to isolated synthetic Gateway tags and an operations dashboard.

The free hosted browser preview uses synthetic or reference data and has no plant or Gateway connection. Gallery screenshots show the native development project; the hosted preview may differ. The native module builds locally as an unsigned development installer; a signed public download is not offered yet. Ignition licensing remains separate.

The engine-room capture is Tugboat Bat, Trieste, by tosolini, captured with XGRIDS PortalCam and used under CC BY 4.0. Original capture. Equipment relationships and operating signals are authored, simulated overlays.

What’s free & what you’ll need

Free software setup available

The hosted browser preview is free to use for evaluation and learning, with no account or time limit. It uses synthetic or reference data and has no Gateway save or plant connection. The complete local development showcase runs inside Perspective using the native Dimension Engine module. It requires Ignition Perspective trial time or a license. The unsigned module is built locally; no public installer is offered yet.

Requirements

Modern desktop browser

Free

The hosted preview uses synthetic or reference data. WebGPU features require a compatible browser and GPU.

Keyboard or gamepad

Cost depends on your setup · Play Super Maintenance Bros.

Required for the factory platformer. Touch controls are not included.

Ignition Perspective

Optional paid setup

Only needed for the native local Ignition project. An unsigned Dimension Engine development module hosts the full showcase. WebDev is not required by this native project; the hosted browser preview needs neither module.

Questions & answers

Does the hosted preview connect to a plant?

No. The browser preview uses synthetic or reference data. No plant or Ignition Gateway is connected.

Can I download a native Ignition module?

A native module now builds and runs locally with the complete showcase in a Perspective project, including Super Maintenance Bros. It is still an unsigned development preview; a signed public installer is not offered yet.

What is Super Maintenance Bros.?

A 2D platformer in a procedural 3D factory. Cross conveyors, power the lift, dodge presses and restore the line. Try “Watch a shift” for a guided run, or use WASD, Space and E to play. Includes cinematic camera movement, GPU effects, quiet sound and a hideable FPS counter. “Behind the game” explains its rendering and state. The separate local Ignition edition connects to synthetic Gateway tags and a native Perspective dashboard.
