Adding Custom Map Icons in Quicklime
Visualizing your data center infrastructure shouldn’t feel like looking at a generic blueprint. When monitoring critical environments, clarity is everything. The faster you can identify a specific rack, sensor, or cooling unit on your map, the faster you can respond to potential issues.
That is why the mapping feature in AKCP Quicklime DCIM is built for flexibility—including the ability to upload and implement your own custom icons.
In our latest video tutorial, we walk you through the exact step-by-step process to transition from standard system symbols to a fully personalized, intuitive data center layout.
Why Customize Your DCIM Map?
Standard icons get the job done, but custom graphics take your infrastructure management to the next level:
- Instant Recognition: Use exact manufacturer logos or custom equipment shapes so your team knows exactly what they are looking at without clicking for details.
- Streamlined Workflows: Color-code specialized sensors or power distribution units (PDUs) to separate them visually from standard environmental monitoring.
- Tailored Security & Compliance: Mirror your actual facility floor plans and security zones accurately using recognizable asset markers.

For over two decades at AKCP, I have been focused on a single mission: bringing complete visibility, security, and efficiency to the world’s critical infrastructure.
I believe that in the modern data center, AI is only as good as the data it receives. My goal is to ensure facilities have the precise sensor facts needed to control AI opinions, ultimately reducing PUE, releasing stranded capacity, and ensuring maximum uptime.
