Airport GIS, Assets & Operations

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

01 · Target operating outcome

Define the change before choosing the technology

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

Business case: faster asset location/maintenance, lower rework, better project coordination, incident response and passenger/field productivity.

Baseline

Measure current volume, time, cost, failure, service, risk and revenue at the workflow level.

Target

Asset accuracy/completeness; workflow time; integration; security review; scale and data-governance plan.

02 · Solution architecture

One connected flow from source data to operational action

Airport basemap/2D/3D GIS, asset register, indoor/airside navigation, project/maintenance layers, incident/security integration and mobile field apps. We create the shared airport spatial layer that connects assets, projects, maintenance and operational response.

Data foundation

Map, customer, asset, sensor and enterprise data

Intelligence services

Search, routing, GeoAI, rules and spatial models

Role workflows

Live twin · Assets · Incidents · Simulation · Work orders

Decision and outcome

faster asset location/maintenance, lower rework, better project coordination, incident response and passenger/field productivity.

03 · Users and RBAC

The shared Mappls identity is separated from application membership. A user can be an administrator in one app, an analyst in another and a viewer elsewhere.

04 · Data and integration

Connect the minimum information needed to make the workflow real

Location foundation

Map, road, address, place, imagery, boundary and terrain layers appropriate to the decision.

Enterprise context

Customer, order, asset, vehicle, incident, task, sensor or transaction records from systems of record.

Integration pattern

APIs, SDKs, secure batch, streaming events, webhooks, files or on-premise integration depending on architecture.

Security and control

Least-privilege RBAC, audit events, encrypted transport, tenant separation and cloud, private or offline deployment.

05 · Proof of value

Use a bounded implementation to answer the scale decision

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

  • Confirm data, geography, users and workflow: Asset inventory and drawings? Indoor/airside accuracy? EAM/AODB integration? Field workflows? Security zones? Update governance?
  • Configure Mappls Digital Twin Command for the selected role set
  • Run baseline and intervention scenarios with real stakeholder reviews
  • Evaluate agreed criteria: Asset accuracy/completeness; workflow time; integration; security review; scale and data-governance plan.
  • Package production scope and commercial model: Data/capture + site/platform licence + users/integration + O&M/managed updates.
