Abstract
Facility Management using the NASA-wide Institutional Geographic Information System
Track: Facilities
Authors: Kelly Boyd
Transitioning the NASA-wide Institutional GIS to the Adobe Flex Viewer allows NASA personnel to leverage tools for additional facility management possibilities. Schematics for each floor are tied to a building viewable in an additional map window through the passing of URL parameters. Personal property, chemical inventory, and other assets are linked to buildings and rooms within the building. Enterprise building queries can be performed against buildings across the agency to return tabular results that drive the user directly to the property location. Further, custom GIS mapping requests are minimized through the inclusion of predefined widgets configured to create custom buffers, viewsheds, and surface profiles to support planning efforts. Lastly, configuration of a mobile template brings the data to meetings, remote buildings, and construction sites to enable personnel to determine information as they are making decisions.
