Why Spatially Enable an Asset Management System?
Maximize the capabilities, lifespan, and performance of expensive assets while simultaneously minimizing operating costs
Traditional asset management systems manage assets alphabetically or in arbitrary groups. But geographic assets such as pavement networks and utilities are best managed by a system that relates assets through maps and intelligent location processing.
Asset management systems integrated with a GIS allow municipalities to manage, visualize, analyze, and communicate information about infrastructure assets such as roads, bridges, water systems, wastewater systems, signage, meters, and equipment.
Optimal deployment of service and maintenance resources for work on the right equipment at the correct location using a GIS reduces costly maintenance mistakes, and increases the quality of service. Field technicians can use a GIS-enabled maintenance system to reduce the amount of time they spend looking for equipment that requires servicing as well as planning a more efficient route to maintenance locations.
Farallon's Infrastructure Asset Management GIS solutions provide managers with the system-wide spatially and temporally dynamic information necessary to maximize the capabilities, lifespan, and performance of expensive assets while simultaneously minimizing operating costs.
Spatially derived data is automatically pushed from the GIS to the Hansen database in real-time.
Basic Infrastructure Management Services
Many electric, water, wastewater, and transportation utilities can be conceptualized as a network of inter-related assets. Our Infrastructure Management solutions take advantage of this fact, and include:
- Pipeline Open Data (PODS) Asset Management
- Pavement Management
- GPS-based Field Asset Verification
- Network Routing and Tracing
Integration of GIS with Pavement Management and Highway Asset Management
