LaserLinc's Total Vu™ HMI Platform

HMI Platform Raises the Bar for Scalable Process Control and Real-Time Visualization

Fairborn, OH—Manufacturers across industries are under constant pressure to produce faster, reduce waste, increase yield, and ensure quality while minimizing costs and manpower. In response to these growing demands, LaserLinc has developed and refined one of the market's most adaptable and intuitive process control platforms: the Total Vu™ Human-Machine Interface (HMI).

Engineered with scalability and customization in mind, Total Vu™ is the heart of LaserLinc’s measurement ecosystem. This robust software platform empowers manufacturers with real-time data, unmatched visualization, and flexible control that adjusts to meet the needs of everything from R&D labs to high-volume production lines.

Total Vu™ is a powerful HMI software solution that provides real-time process monitoring, control, and data visualization for non-contact measurement systems. Developed by LaserLinc, this platform connects directly to laser micrometers, flaw detection systems, and other metrology tools, collecting and analyzing data in real-time.

Designed to be device-agnostic and industry-flexible, Total Vu™ supports applications in wire and cable, medical device manufacturing, rubber and plastic extrusion, and more. With Total Vu™, users get more than measurement — they get a window into every detail of their production line.

Whether you're managing a single measurement point or a complex, multi-line setup, Total Vu™ scales your operation. Its modular architecture allows you to start with basic visualization and expand as needed — without replacing hardware or overhauling software infrastructure.

This scalability makes it ideal for manufacturers at any stage, including:

●      R&D labs, where experimentation and customization are key

●      Pilot lines, where scaling up requires confidence and control

●      Full-scale production, where real-time process optimization reduces downtime and waste

Because Total Vu™ is highly configurable, it adapts to changing production needs as new products, materials, or regulatory requirements are introduced.

Total Vu™ is built around a highly visual, intuitive user interface. Operators and engineers don’t need extensive training to interpret data or navigate the system. Instead, they are met with clear, customizable dashboards that present live measurements, process trends, alarms, and more — all at a glance.

Key features include:

●      Real-time graphing and trend analysis

●      Custom alerts and alarms for out-of-spec conditions

●      Multi-format data logging and export for compliance and traceability

●      Multi-line support with independent or grouped control

●      The custom operator views to simplify the interaction

This ease of use dramatically reduces training time and error rates, helping teams maintain process integrity and quickly respond to any deviation.

While initially developed for laser-based measurement, Total Vu™ is a universal platform that supports a broad range of measurement devices and process sensors. Whether you’re measuring diameter, wall thickness, concentricity, ovality, or surface defects, Total Vu™ adapts to the job.

This makes it an excellent fit for a range of high-precision industries:

●      Medical device manufacturing: Monitor catheter tubing, guidewires, and microextrusions with micron-level accuracy

●      Wire & cable: Measure jacket dimensions, conductor alignment, and insulation thickness

●      Automotive: Detect profile variations in molded seals and gaskets

●      Industrial extrusion: Ensure profile geometry and thickness during continuous production

No matter the product or material, Total Vu™ delivers the actionable insights required to maintain consistent quality and minimize material waste.

The Total Vu™ platform is also a key component in laser dimensional inspection solutions, such as LaserLinc’s own FlawSense™ technology. For 360-degree surface defect detection, FlawSense™ identifies scratches, bubbles, pits, and lumps — and Total Vu™ visualizes this information in real-time for the operator.

By pairing Total Vu™ with high-speed defect detection systems, manufacturers can achieve full coverage and automated line control. When paired with innovative feedback loops, the system can trigger alarms or halt production when critical flaws are detected, keeping bad products out of the supply chain and reducing costly rework.

What makes Total Vu™ such a valuable investment is its measurable return. With real-time data at your fingertips, manufacturers can:

●      Reduce scrap by correcting issues as they happen

●      Improve throughput by optimizing line speeds based on measurement feedback

●      Increase uptime by diagnosing problems quickly

●      Ensure quality compliance through auto-generated reports and audit trails

●      Minimize labor costs by reducing operator intervention and training time

Whether you’re looking to meet tighter tolerances or reduce overhead, Total Vu™ gives you the insight and control needed to boost performance — without the guesswork.

Total Vu™ isn’t a closed-loop system that forces you to use one set of tools. It’s designed to integrate easily with various measurement devices and third-party control systems via OPC, serial, analog, and digital interfaces.

That means you can plug Total Vu™ into your existing infrastructure—including legacy hardware—and start collecting meaningful data immediately. Whether you're automating feedback to extruders or syncing with a factory MES, Total Vu™ is well-suited for complex manufacturing environments.

Traceability and compliance are non-negotiable in industries governed by strict regulations, such as medical and aerospace manufacturing. Total Vu™ makes maintaining a complete digital trail of measurements, events, operator inputs, and system responses easy.

Automated reporting functions can generate batch records, SPC charts, and data logs formatted for audits or customer certifications. The system ensures data integrity and allows teams to retrieve historical records on demand — providing peace of mind and regulatory confidence.

As with every product developed by LaserLinc, Total Vu™ is backed by a team of engineers and support professionals who understand the intricacies of measurement, manufacturing, and industry-specific challenges.

From initial consultation and installation to ongoing service and upgrades, LaserLinc’s team partners with clients to ensure long-term success and adaptability.

In today’s manufacturing world, the ability to measure accurately is essential, but the ability to visualize, react, and optimize in real time is transformative. That’s what Total Vu™ delivers.

As a fully scalable, industry-adaptable, and user-friendly HMI platform, Total Vu™ is not just a tool — it’s a competitive advantage. It helps teams reduce waste, boost quality, shorten training time, and confidently scale operations.

If you’re ready to unlock the power of real-time process insight and take your measurement systems to the next level, Total Vu™ is the platform you’ve been waiting for. Connect with LaserLinc today to see how this powerful solution can reshape how you measure, monitor, and manufacture.
