activeG’s MapEngine™ seamlessly integrates your Enterprise Geographic Information System (GIS) and MAXIMO™ system by embedding maps directly into IBM's strategic asset management solution.

AM/FM/GIS contain information about field and facility assets, including their physical location and the network relationships of the physical system (water distribution, sewer collection, electrical transmission/distribution, gas/oil transmission and distribution, public works infrastructure, telecom- munications, airport infrastructure, rail, highway/transportation infrastructure, etc.). 
Work and asset management systems are designed to track information relating to the installation and maintenance of these assets.

activeG’s  MapEngine brings these two systems together by map-enabling your Maximo system, and  integrating Maximo and GIS at both the data and application levels.

Rich Feature Set Supporting Many Industries
MapEngine comes with a rich set of configurable features, including:

Facilities Management/IT Asset Management:  Linking to asset attribution allows MapEngine™ to easily provide a graphic, data-rich window into your facility or server room.

Dynamic Linear Segmentation: Dynamic linear segmentation for work orders allows the user to select user-defined segments of rail, highway, or pipes to mark location for work orders.

GPS Display:  MapEngine™ displays real-time positions of GPS-tracked assets.

Data Integration:
MapEngine™ allows an organization to leverage its investment in GIS data conversion and maintenance to the fullest extent possible by providing the link between the GIS and enterprise asset or facilities management systems like Maximo.

Application Integration:
MapEngine provides an application-level map interface for the end-user that facilitates:

• Graphic/Map display of Maximo addresses, locations, and work orders
• Display of work order information from selected items on the map
• Creation of work orders from the map interface
• Call Center functionality—ability to track calls against work orders and GPS-enabled vehicles
• Work against partial linear assets (rail, road, pipeline segments, etc.

Primary Benefits:
Leverage and Protect existing GIS data: Organizations have made substantial investments creating and maintaining asset data in their Geographic Information System(s). Implementing the MapEngine™ within your enterprise asset or facilities management system leverages that investment by enabling your system to use the GIS asset database for work order/asset processing.  MapEngineTM also protects the investment in GIS data by updating it to reflect maintenance operations.

Map Interface: The old adage “a picture is worth a thousand words” rings true for field and facility assets. Few, if any maintenance personnel will know the asset ID of the fire hydrant located in front of 1313 Mockingbird Lane. Using the map to locate the parcel by keying in the address and then allowing map selection of the asset is an easy and intuitive means to assign a field or facility asset to a work order.

MapEngine provides:

• Graphic/Map display of MAXIMO addresses, locations, and work orders
• Display of work order information from selected items on the map
• Creation of work orders from the map interface
• Call Center functionality—ability to track calls against work orders and GPS-enabled vehicles
• Work against partial linear assets (rail / road / pipeline segments, etc.)
