Manufacturing and tool icons for Power BI

Manufacturing icons label plant areas and work types: production, maintenance, safety, automation. OEE and maintenance reports use them to split downtime by reason.

Using manufacturing & tools icons in Power BI

Where manufacturing & tools icons earn their place in a report, and how to keep them readable.

Downtime-reason icons should be as distinct as the reasons: a wrench for maintenance, a swap for changeover, a warning for breakdown. Readers on a plant floor glance from a distance.

Use larger icons on screens shown on the shop floor (32–48 px) and thicker strokes. Thin 1.5 px lines vanish on a wall-mounted TV.

Power BI tip: For a TV-mode page, export PNGs at 128 px from this page and place them as Image visuals; they stay crisp at distance and don't depend on a measure refreshing.

Good uses

  • Downtime reasons (breakdown, changeover, maintenance)
  • Line or cell tiles
  • Safety incident KPIs
  • Maintenance work-order tables

Three steps from this page to your report

  1. 01

    Pick and colour

    Choose one of the manufacturing & tools icons below and set its colour to match your theme.

  2. 02

    Copy the format you need

    SVG or PNG for Image visuals and button icons; the DAX measure or data URI for tables, matrices and cards; theme icon JSON for conditional formatting.

  3. 03

    Bind it in Power BI

    For a measure, set Measure tools → Data category to Image URL. For theme icons, import the theme and choose the icon in Conditional formatting → Icons.

Want the icon next to a formatted value with a target colour? The free DAX SVG measure builder draws icon + value cards, and the conditional formatting icons recipe walks through custom icon sets end to end.

Questions about these icons

Can I use these manufacturing & tools icons in commercial Power BI reports?

Yes. They come from open-source sets under the MIT or ISC licence (12 from Lucide, 34 from Tabler Icons, 2 from Heroicons, 9 from Fluent UI System Icons), which allow commercial use. Keep the licence notice when you redistribute the icon files themselves; the full texts are on the licence page. Licence texts · licence file (.txt)

Why does my DAX icon show as text?

The measure's Data category must be Image URL (Measure tools → Data category). Also check that every # in the SVG is written as %23, which the copied measure already does.
