The issue 3 Now: 3 in 1! 2
Now: 3 in 1! Survey instrument Firmware * operating * showing coordinates Controller Get separated! Survey instrument Special software & standard OS Any mobile device 3
Land registry in the Netherlands 7 At the base (1800 > 1811) 4
Legal registration system (1832) Land registry Cadastre Index & overview Deeds Maps Surveys Legal registration system (2003) Land registry Cadastre Index & overview Deeds Maps Surveys 5
In the mean while, I was working with (2003) 2013: Still Mechanization (That means: automatization of each separate step or activity, not as a whole) Field part of the process: Indicate boundary Survey Mapping Geo Business 2016 12 6
2013: Mechanization Indicate boundary Word template Geo Business 2016 13 2013: Mechanization Survey Sketch program Geo Business 2016 14 7
2013: Mechanization Mapping Separate program, data model incorporates visualisation Geo Business 2016 15 Some numbers 2015 Deeds & mortgages Survey requests Done by engineering companies Number of employees Surveying department Applications for surveyors 740.000 60.000 25.000 1.600 300 40 + 8
What do we want? (While surveying ) 17 Working in the field Administrative Mapping Surveying 9
Working in the field Administrative * Tasks * Register who * Statement indicated boundary Mapping * Showing survey on map layers * Derive sketch automated from survey Surveying * Control survey instrument * Coded observations * Precision & reliability On- & offline data Working in the field (on any tablet) Administrative * Tasks * Register who * Statement indicated boundary Mapping * Showing survey on map layers * Derive sketch automated from survey Surveying * Control survey instrument * Coded observations * Precision & reliability On- & offline data 10
Problems Administrative On-/offline data Standard solutions for field service management Not capable handling boundary between two parcels with 2-4 title holders More tightly coupled to ERP and transactions On-/offline data: Can other components use synchronized data? Working in the field Mapping GIS surveying Functional redundancy with mapping software back office Plural GIS/CAD-software options All connection with survey instruments But not (really) adapted for using in field on tablets 11
Working in the field Surveying Firmware from TS/controller >> towards software on tablet Highly productive But not independent from vendor Details Tablet part of the deal Delivers measuring time Proprietary cloud solutions Solution Administrative SAP (Ideo) Mapping & Surveying Penmap & Move3 On-/offline data 12
Solution: Administrative (Ideo) Solution: Mapping & surveying (Penmap) 13
But still problems: EU Tenders for survey instruments for software for hardware Survey instruments Special software on standard OS Any mobile device 27 But still problems Connectivity tablet survey instrument Trimble: radio Leica: Long Range Bluetooth Is part of tablet! Tablets are other EU tender Leased from Capgemini Capgemini = office oriented. Hard struggle to get real ruggedized tablets Different duration of tenders! 14
But still problems No open protocol for software device Trimble SDK, Leica Geocomm, etc. NMEA has only coordinates (no variances Penmap is bought by Trimble DUB: Doubt, Uncertainty & Fear Integration MOVE3 & Penmap Back office: MOVE3 as full application In Penmap under the bonnet Reusable for contractors? Conclusion Independency of vendors is labour some No OGC -standards for surveying EU tenders make it hard 15
