Figure 1: The xRM platform
The proposed solution, xRM, aims to elevate the capabilities of ARM consortium members with emerging
technologies.
A data visualization tool, built with Mapbox, D3.js, and geoJSON, allows for advanced sorting. This can
be provided as a service connecting manufacturers, sharing resources, and finding new markets. The
command palette can be used for immediate follow-up, grant reporting, and scheduling.
The virtual highbay, built with A-frame, WebXR, and Three.js, allows for more advanced simulation and
training. A 'card' based system mirrors analog versions, and can be used for introducing new
technologies on desktop, mobile, and headset. Manufacturers can upload scans of their own facilities,
and PMs at the ARM Institute can propose new arrangements.

Currently, the platform is aligned toward the ARM Institute's work for the Build Back Better program, focused in southwestern Pennsylvania, but could be expanded to a wide variety of use cases and needs.
