SunVizion Inside Plant Inventory is the indoor-focused part of SunVizion Network Inventory designed to manage network resources located in buildings, central offices, data centers, and communication huts. It combines a structured inventory model with practical visual tools—so teams can clearly see where equipment is installed, how space is used, how ports are occupied, and how indoor connectivity is built.
It extends both Resource Inventory and Logical Inventory, which means indoor assets are not stored in isolation. They can be linked to the wider network model, supporting consistent operations across planning, rollout, service delivery and maintenance.
A structured model that matches the way engineers work
Inside Plant Inventory reflects the real structure of telecom sites and allows users to navigate through a clear hierarchy:
building → floor → room → cabinet → rack → shelves/subracks → cards/slots → ports
This makes everyday tasks faster: locating equipment, confirming what is installed in a specific room or rack, understanding how a device is built internally, and finding the exact port used for a connection.
Floor plans that become an operational workspace
SunVizion turns indoor layouts into a working environment—not static drawings. You can create calibrated floor plan schemas based on underlays and define installation locations directly on the plan. This helps teams manage indoor space with much higher accuracy, especially in large sites where the same rooms and layouts repeat.
The result is a site view that is intuitive for field and operations teams: you see the room plan, equipment placement and site structure in one consistent context.
Rack and device views with real occupancy control
Inside Plant Inventory provides practical equipment views that support day-to-day installation and maintenance work. You can visualize racks and devices from multiple perspectives (front/rear/top) and manage how equipment occupies slots—including devices that span multiple slots and scenarios where installation must follow defined placement rules.
This approach is especially useful when many teams work on the same sites over time: it keeps rack layouts consistent, reduces errors, and makes available capacity visible at a glance.
Data quality enforced through compatibility rules
Indoor inventory quickly becomes unreliable if users can install “anything anywhere.” SunVizion supports model-driven compatibility and placement rules that control what can be inserted into a given slot or rack position (for example, which card types are allowed in which shelves).
When a user attempts an invalid installation, the system can prevent the action and clearly explain why—protecting data quality and reducing costly mistakes that only show up later during provisioning or troubleshooting.
Indoor connectivity built for fiber distribution and patching
Inside Plant Inventory supports indoor termination and distribution components such as ODFs, patch panels and splitters, enabling you to represent how fiber is terminated, patched and distributed inside a site.
You can model realistic port pools and connection constraints, which helps teams maintain accurate patching records and avoid “unknown” or undocumented changes that typically slow down fault resolution and service activation.
Auto-discovery and reconciliation with NMS/EMS
To reduce manual work and keep inventory aligned with reality, SunVizion can support auto-discovery and reconciliation workflows based on data from Network/Element Management Systems (NMS/EMS). This helps validate what is installed and how it is configured, identify discrepancies, and keep key information consistent across operational tools.
For modern networks, this is an important step toward continuously improving data accuracy—especially in high-change environments where equipment and configurations evolve quickly.
Access control, auditability and compliance-ready operations
Inside Plant Inventory supports enterprise-grade access and compliance practices. You can apply granular permissions so different teams (engineering, operations, contractors) can access only what they need, while the system maintains traceability of changes.
This makes it easier to manage shared environments safely, reduce the risk of unauthorized edits, and support internal governance requirements where auditability and controlled change are essential.
Built-in libraries for multi-technology networks
SunVizion includes libraries of commonly used device types across a wide range of technologies—covering fiber, coax and copper domains as well as radio and transport/IP environments (SDH/PDH, IP, WDM, GSM/UMTS/LTE and more). This helps standardize modeling and speeds up onboarding for new sites and teams.
