Geospatial Information Systems
Those responsible for the management of vital but geographically dispersed assets, whether static or mobile, have challenges in keeping track of where those assets are, how they are connected together and the location of resources involved in their operation and maintenance.
Geospatial information systems (GIS) provide the solution to these challenges. They enable organizations to integrate multiple layers of data from disparate systems, using geographic location to tie each layer together. Powerful tools for query, selection and display ensure that you gain maximum advantage from the data you already hold – proving that the result is greater than the sum of the parts.
Utility organizations all over the globe are increasingly using GIS to help them with issues such as effectively sharing asset information across their organization; locating assets, people, equipment, transmission cables and meters; making their data available to the users through the internet; and streamlining the work of maintenance teams by enabling direct updates in real time.
ACI has developed the leading edge geospatial capabilities, with dedicated GIS technologists working globally with a broad base of clients. It has discovered innovative new ways to solve business problems using GIS. Making use of close relationships with the major GIS software providers as well as developing custom applications, ACI specializes in a number of key geospatial fields:
- Corporate geospatial solutions
- Internet map and route-planner applications
- Location based services
- Cartography and cadastre production
- Remote sensing
- Data conversion, verification and quality control
We see enterprise asset management as the bringing together of a range of dimensions of asset information, of which geospatial information is a crucial part. We typically help our clients to gain more benefit through the integration of geospatial data with that from supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) and mobile workforce management systems, as well as sector-specific applications like outage management and automated meter infrastructure.
