P19 · Representative solution case · Aviation / Infrastructure

Airport GIS, Assets & Operations

Can every operational and engineering team locate the same current asset, drawing, work order and incident spatially?

Evidence distinction: this is a representative solution case constructed from the source requirements and Mappls delivery pattern. It is not presented as a named-customer outcome unless a separate verified customer story is explicitly linked.

01 · Operating context

The decision environment and the problem to change

Airside/landside assets, projects, drawings, incidents and maintenance are managed across systems without a shared spatial operational layer.

Primary operating owner

Airport Director/CEO; Head Operations; Head Engineering/Planning

Economic decision

AAI Board/Regional ED; Airport CEO

Technical influence

CIO/IT; GIS/BIM; Security; Airside Operations; EPC/SI

Why action becomes urgent

Terminal expansion, master-plan update, asset digitisation, AODB/EAM refresh, safety/security audit, new airport commissioning.

02 · Before and after

Change the operating model, not only the interface

Before Mappls

Fragmented context and delayed action

Airside/landside assets, projects, drawings, incidents and maintenance are managed across systems without a shared spatial operational layer.

  • Location, operational and enterprise data remain separated
  • Stakeholders make inconsistent decisions from partial context
  • Exceptions are found late and evidence is difficult to reconstruct
With Mappls

A governed location-aware decision loop

Airport basemap/2D/3D GIS, asset register, indoor/airside navigation, project/maintenance layers, incident/security integration and mobile field apps.

  • One role-aware workspace in Mappls Digital Twin Command
  • Live context moves directly into the responsible workflow
  • Every decision, scenario and outcome can be measured and audited

Inside Mappls Pro, the same user can hold this role here and a different role in another application. Membership, saved runs and administration remain app-specific.

04 · Day-in-the-life journey

How the solution turns information into an operational result

01

Frame the operating decision

Asset inventory and drawings? Indoor/airside accuracy? EAM/AODB integration? Field workflows? Security zones? Update governance?

02

Connect the location foundation

Bring the required map, address, road, place, imagery, asset, customer and operational data into a governed Digital Twin workspace.

03

Act through role workflows

Live twin, Assets, Incidents, Simulation, Work orders give each stakeholder the information, decision and action appropriate to their role.

04

Prove the intervention

6–8 week zone pilot with base map, assets, mobile workflow and one system integration.

05

Scale and continuously improve

Operationalise the model through Data/capture + site/platform licence + users/integration + O&M/managed updates., adoption governance, service measurement and a managed improvement backlog.

05 · Solution and data architecture

06 · Outcome and evidence

Make the value claim measurable before scaling

Value hypothesisBusiness case: faster asset location/maintenance, lower rework, better project coordination, incident response and passenger/field productivity.
Success criteriaAsset accuracy/completeness; workflow time; integration; security review; scale and data-governance plan.

Bounded proof

6–8 week zone pilot with base map, assets, mobile workflow and one system integration.

  • Confirm the baseline and decision scope: Asset inventory and drawings? Indoor/airside accuracy? EAM/AODB integration? Field workflows? Security zones? Update governance?
  • Use representative and, where approved, customer data in the configured workspace
  • Review measurable success with the operating and economic owners: Asset accuracy/completeness; workflow time; integration; security review; scale and data-governance plan.
  • Document data quality, adoption, security, service and scale findings
  • Convert evidence into a phased production scope and accountable value plan

07 · Governance and scale

Operate the solution safely and sustainably

Identity and access

Server-enforced identity, least-privilege app membership, role-specific actions and auditable administration.

Data governance

Source lineage, quality thresholds, update cadence, retention, consent and controlled data sharing.

Operating governance

Named process owners, exception SLAs, escalation, change control and adoption measurement.

Value governance

Baseline, intervention and outcome metrics reviewed on an agreed cadence with accountable owners.
