FIATECH webinars

As I promised here the link for the webinar below. It was good to listen to it, although it didn't report me many new ideas. In the other hand it confirmed a few ideas I had like the need of OpenGL to have real time 3D or that the integration of 3D viewers with other application is a must to obtain the maximun from the 3D application, otherwise it could just become a nice to have tool.

In addition I would like to comment the next years exibition that Fiatech is doing (See the screenshot).

GIS and 3D SW

Usually, or better said, always, big companies have more than one site that they need to have under control. These sites, of course, are not collocated around the same area and but still it’s useful if there is a way of visualizing all of them in one go using a map. Nowadays these maps, similar to the ones of Google earth or other companies like ESRI, are available to be used. The cool thing about these maps is that information can be added to them generating an intelligent map or GIS map. When this GIS maps are integrated with a 3D visualization SW we can get the full system dreamed by any operator. On one side they can check if there are any alarms on any the sites that need to be controlled in a very big area. On the other, when there is an alarm it’s very easy and intuitive to navigate into the model to check the exact equipment that is producing the alarm.
As said when these systems are integrated together, operators will resolve one of the big challenges that have nowadays; capability to review all the sites that are many km away from each other and the capability to immerse into one specific site to inspect a detected alarm, and all this on just one click, or even less.
