Join JMT Technology Group at the 2024 SCARC Conference in Columbia, SC, on October 21st and 22nd, 2024! We can’t wait to network with the geospatial community in South Carolina.

We have two presentations lined up:

Making a Utility Network Serve Your Needs

Presented by: Michael O’Shea, GISP

Esri’s Utility Network model provides a lot of benefits, but you may need to modify the model to fit your needs. This presentation will cover how JMT reconfigured the utility network model to improve asset management for a sewer system and provided value beyond what the utility network promises. Attendees will learn about Arcade expressions, editing real-time data, and additional automated workflows that significantly decrease the time spent on post-processing field collected data.

Esri’s Utility Network model is new and complex, but it can be configured to meet your organization’s needs. This presentation will cover how JMT configured the utility network model to improve data accuracy and implement quality controls into field inspection workflows for a sanitary sewer utility. The presentation will discuss how the model creates value in the form of reduced time in the field collecting data and, in the office, performing quality assurance techniques. Attendees will learn about Arcade expressions, editing real-time data, and additional automated workflows that significantly decrease the time spent on post-processing field collected data. New workflows will be demonstrated that showcase added efficiencies gained using a Utility Network.

The Art and Science of Interior Space Mapping

Presented by: Niki Miller, PMP, GISP

In the past, GIS data often included nothing more than the outline of a building, leaving the interior a mysterious void. The building outlines, usually created from orthophotos, were distorted, imprecise, and poorly georeferenced. Attributes rarely included more than a street address and the year it was built. Many organizations are beginning to fill in these voids with data. By improving the accuracy and precision of building data layers, mapping indoor spaces, and populating detailed attributes, interior space data can support a range of activities such as indoor navigation and wayfinding, enhanced emergency response, facility management, asset tracking, and space utilization planning.

This presentation will discuss the core concepts of developing an interior space dataset, including what data are most often needed, methods of gathering data in the field, general considerations when developing an interior space data model, and planning for data maintenance.
