Read on to find out how an online platform, such as GISGRO, can help solve the challenges of remote management of physical assets, such as harbors, power plants, mines, etc.

A digital twin has its counterpart in the physical world, but when remote sensing technologies create the digital model, it always lacks some details essential to the operations. Like a quay’s electricity supply points, most details are stored in another format. Now it is possible to easily attach them to the georeferenced model in GISGRO online platform.

Harbor authorities and companies manage huge amounts of data and wide land and sea areas in their everyday operations. Read on to see what GIS and online asset management bring to the maritime industry.

The property’s location is one of the most essential information in asset management, so the 3D models are usually uploaded to a GIS (Geographical Information System) platform to ensure their efficient use.

Port asset management concerns all departments and teams in an organisation of a seaport. When various types of stakeholders handle operations, it is especially important to ensure all valuable information is easily available for everyone despite expertise, time, or location.

There are many different types of situations as well as a large variability of industries involved in dredging operations. Therefore, dredging projects typically consist of a variety of different types of stakeholders. In order to achieve successful project results, it is essential to ensure all the project-related information is easily sharable and accessible to everyone involved.

The hydrographic data can be used to create maps or depth contours, detect underwater objects, or change in bathymetry. Especially in ports and seaways, it is essential to know the exact depth and possible objects in the seabed which affect maritime transport. You need to know if there is enough depth for navigating vessels or if there is a need for dredging.

Cloud technology offers affordable and accessible ways to utilise digital data and creates new opportunities for organisations of various sizes and industries. This article describes the digital twin concept and discusses its applications in asset management.

Asset maintenance is necessary for all asset owners to keep the operations going and lengthen the asset’s life cycle. Naturally, there are costs to doing it, but there are ways to minimise the costs and increase Return on Assets (ROA). It is important to base the maintenance decisions on facts and gather data that is easy to use for planning and executing maintenance effectively. This can improve the competitiveness of your business in different ways.
