About Geospatial Data and Patterns
Geospatial data or spatial data is information that identifies the geographical location of features and boundaries on Earth, such as natural features like oceans, rivers, mountains, or human-constructed features. Geospatial data is information about a physical object in a map that can be represented by numerical values in a geographic coordinate system. Spatial data is stored using longitudinal and latitudinal coordinates.
Geospatial data has become an integral element in how organizations maintain their operations. Study and analysis of geospatial data enables organizations to manage their physical assets effectively. Geospatial information is essential in visualizing data and provides an advanced level of insights into different types of data. For example:
- Analyze weather patterns for local weather changes in a site
- Identify different soil types in a site by studying soil patterns
- Study traffic patterns to make logistics and transportation decisions
- Improve knowledge about the terrain surface on which a site is located
Geospatial information enables an organization to make informed and correct decisions in optimizing their operations.
About the OPM Geospatial Widget
The Geospatial widget provides a powerful way to visualize asset information on maps by which you can derive locational intelligence of your assets.
The Geospatial widget renders your assets on a map as per the configuration of the relative performance index, which is based on asset criticality, alerts, and open cases. The widget automatically plots the asset on the map using the geographical location information of the assets.
Using the widget, you can configure (that is, by specifying the URL or the link to the specific type of map) custom layers that depict spatial patterns on the map. This helps you explore and analyze asset information, to identify relationships and patterns in your data. You can also load a simplified map of your plant and the widget will plot the assets on it, enabling you to make better and more informed decisions on the logistics planning in your plants.
- Configure multiple custom layers based on how you want to analyze the assets. For example, you can configure a layer to depict the climate zones in the location, another layer for different soil types, and so on.
- Configure and create multiple asset layers by selecting and classifying the assets. Set the priority in which different layers on the map are rendered.
- Order the layers as needed, and choose if you want to display or hide a layer.
- View and monitor the assets.
- Road View: In this view, the roads in the location are outlined on the map.
- Satellite View: In this view, the satellite image of the location, overlaid with the outlines of roads, appears on the map.
Based on the type of analysis you want to perform, you can create custom layers that overlay the basemap. To create these layers, you can create and save geographic data for the layer in a geographic data serving format, and provide the URL in the widget.
Configure the OPM Geospatial Widget
Before You Begin
- Configure geolocation information for the assets that you want to plot on the map.
- Create geographic data for the custom layer in one of the following geographic data formats:
- Web Map Service (WMS)
- Web Map Tile Service (WMTS)
- Web Feature Service (WFS)
- GeoJSON format

About This Task
Procedure
Access the OPM Geospatial Widget
You can access and use the widget to visually explore and analyze the asset conditions in the site, after the Geospatial widget has been configured according to the requirements.
Procedure
Color Codes used in the OPM Geospatial Widget
The Geospatial widget allows you to visually ascertain the asset conditions in a site, by using unique colors for various asset conditions like number of open cases, asset status and criticality, and different priority levels of the alerts.
Asset Criticality and Alert Priority Conditions
- Asset status
- Asset criticality
- Recent alerts (opened in last twenty-four hours) and their priority
- Open cases and their criticality
Asset Color Codes
Color | Asset Conditions |
---|---|
Red | The asset appears in red when one of the following asset conditions are met:
|
Orange | The asset appears in orange when one of the following asset conditions are met:
|
Blue | The asset appears in blue when one of the following asset conditions are met:
|
Gray | The asset appears in gray when the asset is offline or asset data is not available |
