WHAT CUSTOMERSARE SAYING ABOUT

FME

FortisBC

Using FME Server, the system runs nicely. We don’t need to babysit it. – Piet Nooij, FortisBC

FortisBC needed a more efficient way to assess the current wildfire threat to its gas and electric assets, including its customers, so that their Operations Managers could take immediate action.

The GIS team created an FME workflow that integrates active wildfire data (obtained from the provincial government BC Wildfire Branch via DataBC) into their GE Smallworld environment. FME Server runs automatically every two hours to match the frequency that the source dataset is updated. The output is made available on the server for Operations Managers and Emergency Responders to access via VPN as drawings, reports, plots, Excel files, and KMZ files.

The system makes this integrated view of wildfires and assets available for better decision making, while saving time gathering data for both the first responders and the GIS team.

FortisBC is the largest natural gas utility and second largest electrical utility in the province of British Columbia, Canada. FortisBC has 1,000,000 gas customers and 170,000 electric customers.

FME allowed us to quickly create proof-of-concept data-flows to experiment with visualisation methods. We could then tweak those workspaces, turning them into repeatable processes that could be run on the final data. -- Jonathan Moules, LightPear

LightPearLightPear has innovatively mapped the human eye with GIS & FME to assess the progression of genetic eye diseases and the effectiveness of trial treatments for the University of Oxford.

They used FME & GIS to map and analyse the human eye to measure how diseases change cells, and to monitor experimental treatments. For one clinical trial, FME georeferenced raster images, generated polygons, and overlapped them to identify disease progression. For another, FME performed various analyses including creation of terrain profiles, classifications, and axial lines, which were used to quantify changes in the disease processes. Outputs have also included digitised CSV files, extruded 3D models, and 3D PDFs.

As ophthalmic imaging contains spatial features, using software designed for spatial data has allowed the team to draw more information from their data and develop innovative ways to analyse it. They plan to expand the work to other diseases, and have interest from others in the field.

Jonathan Moules of LightPear is an FME Certified Professional. He conducted these projects for the benefit of Oxford University Hospitals, a world renowned centre of clinical excellence and one of the largest NHS teaching trusts in the UK.

We use FME daily to help automate our business. It has helped me accomplish many things that I would not otherwise be able to do.– Kenneth Dunn, Georgia Power

Georgia PowerThe Metering Services team at Georgia Power uses FME to compile and analyse data.

For example, they used FME to locate 1,000 installed meters with a factory defect, enabling field personnel to replace them in 1 week compared to the previous 4 months. Another FME workspace was designed to compare several systems at the database level, which found a discrepancy that had resulted in 2.5 million dollars in unbilled revenue since 2004.

FME also processes large datasets using business intelligence to populate a “Morning Report” that provides data updates to individuals only if their action is required. It also models databases from many sources to detect meter tampering; looks for anomalies in databases that applications can’t see; translates data from legacy systems; and feeds data to dashboards such as the Automated Metering Infrastructure (AMI) and Meter Equipment Tracking System (METS), various SQL, Access, and Oracle databases, and internal web sites including Microsoft BI, Tableau, and ArcGIS Server / Portal.

Georgia Power is the largest of four electric utilities within Southern Company.

Iowa DOT wanted to build APIs to make their real time public data more accessible, and open it to innovative applications.

The team created near-real time FME workflows that read traffic operations XML feeds like cameras, DMS, 511 events, and Waze. The Iowa DOT also created a custom API library along with Esri Road & Highways. These workflows transform the data through filters and formatters, and provide it to the public in a variety of usable formats including Oracle Spatial, ArcGIS Online REST Services, email, and JSON/XML.

Examples include: ArcGIS Online REST services and Feature Collections provide the ability to create map mashups with little effort; local TV stations use the KML data streaming service, powered by FME, to integrate plows, plow cams, and road conditions with their on-air weather software; and a transformation API called SkyFire, built on Oracle and Esri Roads & Highways, provides “One Call, That’s All” returning results in XML or JSON.

Iowa DOT maintains over 9,400 miles of roadway and 4,092 bridges to serve the transportation needs of the state’s citizens.

Iowa DOT

FME is the cherry on top the ice cream sundae that helps bring data together and customize it for your needs.– David Runneals, Iowa DOT

My colleagues heard ‘data migration’ and immediately thought of FME.– Gabriel Hirsch, Sweco

Bonava & SwecoBonava needed to migrate teraybtes of files from various legacy systems in eight countries and multiple languages into A360.

They worked with Sweco to use FME to automate the migration. They used its graphical user interface and library of pre-built transformers – including the AutodeskA360Connector, built using the Autodesk Forge API – to create the three workflows they required, without writing code. The first workflow restructured data file systems into a single A360-compatible file structure. The next uploaded the data to the cloud in the correct order for A360 to recognize iterations of the same file. The final workflow verified the success of data uploads and provided quality control.

Bonava now has a unified system on the Autodesk A360 cloud data sharing platform.

Bonava is a subsidiary of the leading Northern European residential land developer NCC. Sweco’s vision is to become Europe’s most respected knowledge company in the fields of engineering, environmental technology and architecture.

LOGIC Solutions Group & BP Lower 48 OnshoreLOGIC Solutions Group needed to resolve, load, and distribute data from numerous commercial, contracted, and internal data sets for their client, BP Lower 48 Onshore (BPX).

They used FME to automate the integration and loading of this data, including cumbersome IHS and Drillinginfo data, to create an enriched dataset in Esri Geodatabase. They also used FME to calculate new fields and data sets to identify trends and competitor activity based on spatial attributes. As part of the QA / QC processing with FME, spatial and non-spatial quality checks were performed during the extract, transform, and load (ETL) process to ensure that wells are geographically located correctly in the database.

The resulting dataset enriches and enhances the available information for improved decision making while saving time and money by automating and simplifying repetitive tasks.

LOGIC Solutions Group works to create, manage and integrate information management and geospatial assets to provide insight into the oil and gas lifecycle. BP is the world’s sixth largest oil and gas company.

FME, which has become the de facto spatial ETL tool in the Oil & Gas industry, has allowed BPX and other O&G clients to automate tedious data workflows while improving data quality, leading to overall improved decision-making. Our team is excited about the value FME helps us deliver to customers; we can’t wait to see what we will be doing in the future utilizing this platform.– Todd Buehlman, LOGIC Solutions Group

Geoscience Australia & MapData Services

Other state agencies are now seeing the benefit of using the cloud to deliver large data volumes quickly and reliably.– Brett Madsen, MapData Services

MapData Services needed to help client Geoscience Australia (GA) deliver terabytes of elevation data more efficiently.

They chose FME Cloud and AWS (S3) to provide an automated system for data delivery that was scalable as new datasets were added. Named the Elevation Information System (ELVIS), it provides users the ability to download data for their area of interest in both the format and coordinate system of their preference.

Implementing the data delivery system in the cloud has improved reliability and allowed requests for information to be handled automatically. Government, academia and the public can now access GA’s elevation data holdings by email in 5 minutes, and large orders can be downloaded within the hour. The project has reduced costs by 600%, manual effort by 80%, and delivery speed by 98%. The project won the Geospatial World Excellence Award for Application of Geospatial Technology in Open Data Platform at the 2018 Geospatial World Awards.

Geoscience Australia is the country’s national geological survey. MapData Services is a premium specialist in the digital mapping and data market.

Forsyth CountyForsyth County needed to make their parcel fabric data, which changes dramatically daily, accessible and meaningful to end users.

FME Desktop became a critical tool to help populate published tax parcel features specific to their Tax Assessors CAMA system into their Esri Local Government model, and to update other department systems. They published their FME workspaces to FME Server to run automatically, as “set it and forget it” workflows.

By automating this process with FME, they can provide consistent, updated information to the Tax Assessor department, other county employees, and citizens of Forsyth County.

Forsyth County, Georgia, is consistently one of the fastest growing counties in the USA. Since 2000, its population has doubled from 100,000 to 200,000 residents.

FME Desktop provides the reliability and consistency required to keep our published parcel fabric layers up to date. – Jason Clemis, Forsyth County Government

PNM

FME is hands down the best GIS software I have worked with in my 20+ years in the profession. All the things PNM does with FME would be impossible to accomplish manually.– Aaron Allen, PNM

Since 2002, PNM’s GIS department has used FME for many data automation tasks including conversion, extracts, reports, analyses, data quality and improvement, and error checking.

Of these FME workflows, at least 25 workflows are run on a schedule. They perform tasks such as providing outage data every 10 minutes, and daily processes including generating point features indicating bird related outages for the Environment Department, checking for accidentally deleted power poles in the database, new service delivery data error checking, and backing up ArcGIS Online street light data. FME also performs bi-annual franchise fee reports, monthly NM One Call distribution line buffering, and many more data automation tasks.

Using FME has resulted in improved, more accurate, and value-added data, allowing for better decision making and addressing new issues. It saves members of the GIS department time and the company money. Moreover, FME has become the GIS software of choice for automation and analysis at PNM for its power, speed, and reliability.

PNM is the largest electricity provider in the state of New Mexico, USA.

I love FME because it just makes my job easier every day.– Carlos Silva, Vancouver International Airport

The Vancouver International Airport (YVR) wanted to provide passengers with indoor mapping data via their mobile app.

Using FME, they combined source data from Maximo with CAD. The FME workspaces standardized and performed quality assurance and validation checks (QA/QC) before converting the data into an ArcSDE GIS database.

They published FME workspaces to FME Server to nightly filter, convert, and aggregate floor spaces into new datasets (ArcSDE) that only contain public spaces of the airport, and convert this dataset into GeoJSON for delivery into the YVR Digital Gateway, an enterprise service bus deployed on the Microsoft Azure cloud platform. This dataset is then used for the creation of three final products: the 3D interactive indoor map in their app, an AVF dataset they submitted to Apple, and a leaflet indoor basemap for yvr.ca.

YVR is one of the first to provide its indoor mapping data to Apple Maps, and its GIS team has proven their innovation by providing a variety of ways to navigate the public indoor spaces of the airport using digital technology.

Vancouver International Airport, Canada, serves over 22 million passengers per year, and has won the SKYTRAX Best Airport in North America award for eight years running.
