Seamless Enterprise Asset Management/GIS Integration

activeG’s MapEngine™ seamlessly integrates your enterprise Geographic Information System (GIS) and IBM 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, telecommunications, 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:

Multiple Map Viewers

MapEngine offers you the choice of viewing your data through a variety of feature-packed plug-in viewers: Google Earth, ESRI ArcGIS, and Adobe SVG. Each viewer is available for Maximo versions 5 through 7.5. Read more on viewer options.

Facilities Management/IT Asset Management:

Linking to asset attribution allows MapEngine™ to easily provide a graphic, data-rich window into space, from your production facility to yourserver room.

With MapEngine's Linear Segmentation, you can choose partial elements of adjacent linear segments (such as roads, rails, or pipes), and assign those to maintenance work orders.

Measurement Recording

Streamline multiple data collection activities by creating configurable Maximo tabs with work process-sensitive digital maps. Valve turning or pipeline inspections become much more easy to document. Read more on Measurement Recording.

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.)
