Hi All,
We are currently working with a client on displaying their asset data on a mobile device for inspections. The assets reside in GE Smallworld and the end state is a visual display, along with list view on a mobile device via SAP Work Manager.
Having explored options around this, I have found Feature Manipulation Engine (FME), Smallworld Enterprise Gateway (SWEG), Realworld Systems and a small offering from a locally based vendor.
The primary objective is to get the maps on the device (could be iOS, Android, Windows 8 or Win Mob 6+) with the assets overlaid in a very useable format. Historical asset data is stored in the Plant Maintenance module and will be downloaded, updated and uploaded. The lat/long is available out of SAP.
Our client doesn't have any ESRI licensing currently and would prefer to avoid further costs to the business case. However put against customising Work Manager, this could be an option given the available SDK.
Question is, how have other people here addressed this with Smallworld being the source please and how much would you be willing to share technically on the delivery of this?
Thanks in advance
