Frequently Asked Questions
What are the benefits of integrating GIS with an ERP system such as SAP PM?
It allows you to link SAP work orders and maintenance history to the asset’s exact geographic location in the GIS. This optimizes logistics for field teams, improves prioritization based on spatial context (such as risk zones or intersections), and prevents duplication in infrastructure management.
Which geographic data model is most recommended for hydrocarbon transmission lines?
It depends on the company’s needs. Models such as PODS (Pipeline Open Data Standard) or APDM (ArcGIS Pipeline Data Model) are industry standards. They structure information on pipelines, welds, linings, cathodic protection, and inspection events (PIGs) with a high degree of topological and spatial rigor.
How does a mobile GIS app developed by TECNA ICE work in areas without network coverage?
We develop mobile apps with an offline-first architecture. Inspectors download maps and forms to their devices; during their fieldwork, they capture inspection data along with GPS coordinates, and when they return to an area with cellular connectivity or a Wi-Fi network, the app automatically synchronizes the changes with the central geodatabase.
What is the difference between a conventional GIS and an asset integrity-oriented GIS solution?
A conventional GIS focuses on basic mapping and the representation of features. A comprehensive GIS incorporates spatial data models specific to corrosion, pipe-to-soil potential measurements, internal inspection (ILI) alignment, and risk algorithms (RBI/HCA) that directly inform engineering decisions.
How is the SCADA system integrated with the GIS platform?
It is implemented using real-time data connectors (REST services, OPC connectors, or ETL engines). Operational variables such as pressure, temperature, or flow—read by the SCADA sensors—are dynamically mapped to pipeline segments in the GIS, triggering visual alerts when operational limits are exceeded.
What does a geospatial data governance service entail?
It involves defining rules, workflows, and standards to ensure the quality of geographic information. This includes the standardization of metadata, automatic topological validations, the assignment of editing roles, and periodic audits that prevent the degradation of the spatial database.
Can the GIS solution be deployed on the company's existing infrastructure, or does it require the cloud?
Our solutions are tailored to your organization’s IT strategy. They can be deployed on-premises on your own corporate servers, in private cloud environments (AWS, Azure), or in hybrid configurations, depending on your information security policies.
What kind of maintenance does an enterprise GIS infrastructure require?
It requires regular monitoring of mapping services, optimization of spatial indexes in the database, updating ESRI software versions, applying security patches, and managing storage as the volume of inspections and high-resolution images grows.
