CompassCom Software has unveiled its cutting-edge CompassLDE Connectors, designed to integrate seamlessly with Esri ArcGIS solutions.

These connectors empower users to access real-time location and status data for their assets within their ArcGIS maps, as well as conduct in-depth analysis of operational data.

The CompassLDE Connectors significantly enhance personnel safety, increase operational efficiency, and support the achievement of sustainability targets.

CompassCom CEO W. Brant Howard explained, “Our innovative plug-and-play CompassLDE Connectors now enable Esri users at all ArcGIS product levels to visualize live location and status information for their vehicles, staff, and equipment on their GIS displays. Advanced Esri users can leverage CompassLDE telemetry data with their big data analytics applications to gain valuable insights into their operations.”

CompassCom has developed CompassLDE Connectors for three Esri products:

• ArcGIS Online
• ArcGIS GeoEvent Processor
• ArcGIS Velocity

Widely adopted across North America by public works, public safety, street maintenance, and transportation departments at both state and local government levels, CompassLDE (Location Data Engine) was initially created as an Automated Vehicle Location (AVL) data engine. It subsequently evolved into a mobile resource management solution capable of tracking any GPS-enabled device. Today, CompassLDE serves as a versatile on-premises or cloud-based server that can monitor thousands of assets across multiple fleets and various wireless communication networks.

In its latest iteration, CompassCom has expanded CompassLDE’s capabilities to collect an almost infinite range of sensor inputs, or telemetry, from field assets. Predominantly associated with vehicle activities, this data encompasses Ignition On/Off, Engine Diagnostics, Idle Time, Material Spreader On/Off, Plow Up/Down, Miles Traveled, and other data points. The server can even monitor the amount of sand or chemicals dispensed by a snowplow, as an example.

The groundbreaking CompassLDE Connectors by CompassCom Software represent a significant leap forward in asset tracking and management. By seamlessly integrating with Esri ArcGIS solutions, users can now access a wealth of real-time data and insights, optimizing decision-making processes and resource allocation. The potential applications of this technology extend across various industries and sectors, promising a brighter future of increased safety, operational efficiency, and sustainability.
