Fairborn, OH — As global manufacturers push for greater efficiency, tighter tolerances, and more intelligent automation, LaserLinc has again stepped to the forefront with its Total Vu™ HMI platform. Designed to simplify process monitoring, improve operator decision-making, and scale alongside evolving production lines, Total Vu™ offers the next generation of real-time process visualization.
Total Vu™ is more than a software tool—it’s a fully customizable, user-focused ecosystem that adapts to each manufacturer’s specific needs. With roots in precision metrology and a vision for more intelligent manufacturing, LaserLinc delivers Total Vu™ as the ideal solution for extrusion, wire and cable, medical devices, rubber, plastic, and other continuous production industries.
What Is Total Vu™ and Why Does It Matter?
Total Vu™ is LaserLinc’s proprietary Human-Machine Interface (HMI) software platform. It offers a powerful interface for process visualization, real-time feedback, and data logging. Engineered with scalability and adaptability in mind, Total Vu™ connects with a wide range of non-contact measurement devices, enabling manufacturers to oversee their entire production process with clarity and control.
The platform provides live data from a wide array of sensors—laser micrometers, ultrasonic gauges, flaw detection systems, and more—all integrated into a clean, intuitive dashboard. This allows operators and engineers to react in real-time, make data-informed decisions, and automate quality assurance.
Total Vu™ transforms raw measurement data into a living, breathing digital twin of the process, empowering businesses to maintain product integrity, reduce material waste, and optimize throughput like never before.
Built for Scale: From One Line to One Hundred
One of the most notable strengths of Total Vu™ is its scalability. Whether a facility runs a single measurement device or operates multiple high-speed lines with diverse sensor inputs, Total Vu™ can expand to meet the demands.
Start with one system and expand to many without a complete overhaul or separate software licenses. The modular design allows manufacturers to:
- Add new measurement points as processes evolve
- Integrate third-party devices alongside LaserLinc tools
- Connect multiple lines to a centralized monitoring station
- Maintain unified standards across facilities or departments
Whether you’re a startup launching your first product or a global supplier managing dozens of high-spec production lines, Total Vu™ grows with you.
For operations seeking to monitor real-time dimensions like OD/ID, wall thickness, or concentricity, pairing Total Vu™ with a precise laser measuring device allows instant feedback and control from the production floor.
Adaptability That Meets You Where You Work
Manufacturing processes are anything but one-size-fits-all. Product variations, production speeds, and environmental conditions demand flexible monitoring solutions. Total Vu™ answers that call by offering complete adaptability in setup, display, and functionality.
Users can:
- Customize dashboards for different operators or shift teams
- Configure alarm thresholds based on material or product type
- Create product “recipes” for rapid line changeovers
- Program real-time alerts for process variation or equipment faults
- Log and export data in formats compatible with customer or regulatory requirements
From high-precision catheter extrusion to automotive rubber sealing, Total Vu™ enables line-side staff and production managers to stay ahead of the curve.
Real-Time Feedback for Smarter Manufacturing
Total Vu™ delivers live insights, giving operators and engineers immediate access to critical production data. Rather than reviewing dimensional measurements hours—or days—after production, Total Vu™ makes everything visible the moment it happens.
Operators can view:
- Dimensional measurements with tolerance bands
- Alarm history and event logs
- Process trends with adjustable timelines
- Live SPC charts and analytics
- Status indicators for multiple devices simultaneously
With this level of transparency, production teams can fine-tune performance, adjust settings to correct drift, and detect emerging problems before they become expensive failures.
These real-time insights also help facilities transition from reactive to proactive manufacturing, where data drives decisions and improvement becomes continuous.
Seamless Integration with Advanced Inspection Systems
Total Vu™ is designed to integrate seamlessly with LaserLinc’s full suite of measurement systems and third-party equipment. It is especially effective when paired with the company’s advanced surface inspection technologies—like FlawSense™, a 3D profiling tool for complete surface defect detection.
Using Total Vu™, manufacturers can capture and classify surface anomalies in real time and then visualize defect type, location, and frequency through the same platform used for dimensional monitoring.

Simplifying Compliance and Data Traceability
In industries like medical, aerospace, and automotive, regulatory compliance and product traceability are not optional—they’re essential. Total Vu™ was developed with this in mind.
It supports:
- Automated report generation at batch or product level
- Data archiving with searchable parameters
- Export formats for Excel, CSV, or PDF
- Alarm and operator logs for audit readiness
- Integration with MES and quality control databases
With Total Vu™, manufacturers don’t just measure—they document. This level of reporting eliminates hours of manual work and ensures every production run is backed by data that can be retrieved and reviewed instantly.
Training Made Simple: A User-Friendly Interface
One of the biggest challenges with modern monitoring platforms is usability. Many systems require intensive training or technical knowledge to interpret the data. Total Vu™ was developed to overcome that barrier with a user-friendly interface designed for real-world environments.
Whether operating on a touchscreen panel, a desktop, or a remote monitoring station, the interface presents data visually—with color-coded status indicators, intuitive menu navigation, and quick-access setup tools.
This reduces operator training time, minimizes errors, and enables even new team members to manage the line confidently.
LaserLinc: Proven Precision with a Focus on the Future
As a trusted leader in non-contact measurement solutions, LaserLinc has long been recognized for its focus on precision, adaptability, and performance. The Total Vu™ platform embodies those values—offering a scalable solution that empowers manufacturers to take control of their data and drive their processes forward.
With support for dimensional measurement, surface inspection, SPC analysis, and data logging, Total Vu™ becomes more than just a visualization tool. It becomes the nerve center of your quality control strategy.
Backed by LaserLinc’s responsive customer support, tailored training, and ongoing software enhancements, Total Vu™ is an investment in continuous improvement and operational confidence.
Final Thoughts: Visualize Smarter, Produce Better
