Are your front-line workers tasked with collecting spatial data along with critical asset information? If so, they require a seamless integration of GIS (Geographic Information System) and SAP Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) to work efficiently. Switching between multiple devices or tabs slows down field operations and increases the risk of errors.
Mobile solutions for GIS and SAP EAM solve this problem by consolidating spatial data collection and asset management into a single, map-based platform. This integration enhances field worker efficiency, reduces operational delays, and improves data accuracy.
Unified GIS and SAP EAM Solution for Front-Line Workers
Previously, there wasn’t a one-stop solution for field workers to efficiently collect spatial data and manage assets using a map-centric approach. Now, with solutions like mobile work order management integrated with GIS and SAP EAM, the problem is solved.
Leveraging this innovation, a comprehensive integration of corporate GIS data with mobile work order solutions allows field workers to access asset locations and geospatial information directly linked to asset condition and maintenance data from SAP. The platform ensures compatibility with various GIS formats such as GE Smallworld GIS, ESRI ArcGIS, and SPATIALinfo, among others, facilitating smooth access to critical data.
Seamless GIS and SAP Integration with Real-Time Data Processing
Through integration with SAP HANA Cloud and SAP Mobile Platform, companies can:
- Enhance SAP applications with geographic content for a more intuitive, map-based workflow.
- Rapidly process spatial and enterprise data in real-time, empowering asset management and customer service decision-making.
- Visualize geospatial information through interactive maps, charts, and graphs, enabling better insights into asset conditions.
- Deliver mobile applications that provide real-time geospatial and business data for field workers via platforms like S/4 HANA, ECC, SAP Cloud Platform, or SAP Mobile Platform.
How GIS Integration Benefits Your Team
An interactive map provides front-line workers with a clear, spatial view of their assigned tasks, asset locations, and work history. Planners and managers can use GIS-based tools to visualize asset locations and streamline task planning, while executives can consolidate this data for comprehensive analytics, improving safety, reliability, and return on investment (ROI).
By integrating mobile asset tracking and SAP EAM solutions, field workers can execute workflows through an intuitive, map-based interface. This integration ensures that spatial and business data are accessible in a single view, simplifying decision-making and task execution.
Key Features of Mobile Work Order Integration with GIS
Innovative mobile work order solutions integrated with GIS mapping tools provide several critical benefits for organizations managing large-scale asset inventories:
- Real-Time Data Visualization: Geospatial data is seamlessly combined with asset management workflows, allowing front-line workers to view real-time asset locations, perform maintenance tasks, and access key information from the field.
- Improved Workflow Efficiency: Mobile work order management enables workers to create, update, and manage work orders without switching between devices or tabs, reducing errors and increasing productivity.
- Enhanced Safety and Compliance: By integrating geospatial data with maintenance safety software, companies ensure that field workers follow safety protocols, reducing risks and increasing compliance with regulations.
- Offline Functionality: Workers can access maps, asset data, and work orders offline, thanks to built-in support for offline mode, improving efficiency in areas with poor connectivity.
mWorkOrder’s GIS Integration Capabilities
The mobile work order management solution supports the following GIS capabilities:
- Display SAP objects (e.g., assets, work orders) on maps using pins, polylines, and polygons, enhancing asset visibility.
- Turn on/off customer-defined GIS layers to customize data visibility.
- Zoom into SAP object map layers, allowing workers to visualize asset information in detail.
- Use offline mode for ArcGIS to continue accessing spatial data without an internet connection.
- Utilize GPS tracking to locate assets and track the current location of field workers, improving operational transparency.
The Future of GIS-Enabled Asset Management
As real-time data capture and mobile-enabled workflows become more critical in industries like utilities, public infrastructure, and energy, GIS-integrated SAP EAM offers a future-ready solution. Mobile-enabled platforms provide a holistic view of asset performance, enabling predictive maintenance and smarter decision-making.
Boost Operational Efficiency with GIS and SAP EAM
For organizations looking to optimize asset management, GIS integration with SAP Mobile EAM is the next logical step. Real-time access to spatial and asset data empowers front-line workers to execute tasks efficiently, reducing delays and minimizing downtime. This leads to increased productivity, higher safety standards, and ultimately, better ROI.
