Some of our earliest memories pertaining to Mapping could be from Geography classes at school - using plain maps to outline physical features such as rivers, mountains and deserts or political features such as administrative boundaries of cities, states and countries. We could essentially plot any feature with Location attributes onto the map. This is the underlying foundation of any Mapping technology.
As of today, it is not only possible to acquire precise Location datasets from a multitude of sources (Satellites, Drones, Total Station) but also one can process a wide variety of it as well as large chunks of it in ingenious ways using advanced geospatial platforms to derive deep insights and improve operations. As a result, Mapping has evolved into GIS (Geographic Information System), akin to MIS (Management Information System) with embedded Location data.
GIS can be deployed to manage day-to-day operations as well as to execute projects. Outlining a few ways to utilize Mapping Technology to reap competitive advantage-
a) Resource and Asset Monitoring - Want to track and improve performance of Sales Team? Wish to map out the Supply Chain of your organization? GIS can help one to chart where everyone or everything is, detect patterns, optimize flows, visualize development and foster harmony.
b) Project and Facility Siting - Want to arrive at an intelligent decision to locate your new Business Unit - be it a store, factory, office, hospital or warehouse? You can use Mapping Applications to study Location features such as road connectivity, air quality, elevation and combine it with census/authoritative datasets to identify suitable pockets of space for setting up the site.
c) Agri Research - Does your organization procure agri-produce to be used as raw material in manufacturing? Using Mapping technology, one can utilize datasets such as soil quality, crop health and meteorological data - in isolation or in combination - to determine the best sources for procuring the desired quality of agri-produce.
d) Transportation Planning and Scheduling - One can perform route planning and optimization, fleet management, workforce travel scheduling and other logistics workflows - even unique ones such as where can the truck make a U-turn on the highway😊?
e) Risk Management - One can plan for risks and emergencies (man-made or natural) and devise way to mitigate it using mapping technology. For instance, here is how it helps insurance companies to price their products better.
f) Layout Design & Management - One can create a digital twin of the real estate as well as perform spatial planning and volumetric analysis. Even large and complex workflows such as laying out oil pipelines or setting up telecom towers and renewables infrastructure can be planned, designed and monitored using Mapping technology.
g) Unique, Single-purpose Applications - Wish to have safe and seamless visitor management for a large event/exhibit? Want to make a true-to-reality animation of an urban landscape to be inserted into a movie? With Mapping technology, the scope of applications are boundless - new ones are discovered every passing day and conferences are held to discuss and disseminate these workflows workflows - it so happens that sometimes the technology developers themselves are now aware how their geospatial platforms are being utilized to good effect in myriad ways!
