CRUCIBLE
ETCH

Graphics that show the building as it is, right now.

ETCH makes animated RC-Studio graphics for Reliable Controls systems from a points list: fans that turn when they run, dampers and valves that move with their real position, and alarms that show exactly where they are.

The look

From the floor plan to the air handler.

A surgery suite seen the way the people running it need to see it: the floor plan with every room's pressure, temperature and humidity, each operating room on its own page, and the air handler and chiller plant that serve them.

Marketing illustrations of the graphics ETCH is built to make, with a renamed site ("Regional Medical Center") and example data. They aren't screenshots of a working system.

Where it stands

Built and tested in software.

  • Points list in; RC-Studio animation, previews and a configuration import file out
  • Equipment templates for air handlers, VAV boxes, fans, coils and dampers
  • Every graphic passes ETCH's own checks and its sandbox tests

The graphics haven't been loaded on a working Reliable Controls system yet. The images above are illustrations of the target look. ETCH's own art is still being approved.
