“Esri is what allows us to put all these layers of data onto a map in one place and convert it all to actionable insight in digital dig boards,” shares Duncan. “We can print a business-card-sized sticker with a QR code portal to the entire project information set. I’ve seen them on helmets.”

Connecting People to Places: Michigan State University’s Use of Mobile Technologies 👷‍

"....We also built relationships with technology vendors that allowed us to provide actionable feedback on how their software or application was being used by the workforce. This, in turn, allowed for greater product innovation that had a direct benefit for our workforce. One of the best examples of this is with the ESRI ArcGIS Indoors application."

ArcGIS IPS is Esri’s indoor positioning system that brings the blue dot positioning experience to indoor maps. It allows users to instantly locate themselves and others inside a building in real time which helps improve indoor navigation, safety and security (e.g. reducing emergency response times), and workflow efficiencies (e.g. workforce location sharing and resource allocation).

This release of ArcGIS IPS for ArcGIS Pro 3.2 comes with a substantial enhancement to the indoor positioning system setup process. Until now, enabling ArcGIS IPS required the performance of an IPS survey of the indoor space to collect radio reference data (Bluetooth or WiFi).

If you are attending the 2023 Esri User Conference and interested in events and sessions that align with the Smart Campus Operations mission, take a look at the attached agenda.  These are not all specific to education, but the operational use cases, supporting technology, and solutions align well with your mission.

We also hope to see you at the Smart Campus Operations Special Interest Group gathering on Tuesday, July 11 from 10-11am PDT in the Marriott Marquis Marina Hotel, Pacific Ballroom 15. 

As indoor GIS evolves across higher education and K-12 campuses, facilities teams are consolidating their asset and space information into a single place, the indoor map. Join us to hear from your peers, Esri staff, and Esri partners on how they are leveraging GIS and ArcGIS Indoors to provide easily accessible web and mobile apps for location discovery, asset tracking, wayfinding, room reservations, and space planning.

We look forward to seeing you in San Diego!

Location-based insights come from having geospatial data and processing it to gain value.

Indoor data collection is a scalable process for increasing the information at your organization's fingertips to guide reactive action, while indoor analytics is the forward-thinking practice of synthesizing the data to extract high-value strategic and tactical planning.

Leverage your indoor data

Asset status, locations and characteristics, interior building information, floor plan layouts, maintenance history, occupancy and space usage, and indoor analytics from positioning systems are all valuable forms of indoor data. This data can be used as is to guide workers in the field to more efficient problem resolution, or analyzed at a macro level to gather insights that inform better facilities management and space utilization decisions.

Use indoor data collection for more comprehensive analysis

Enhance operations with indoor positioning analytics

Using indoor mapping to have location data about assets is one part of the future of smarter facilities management. Indoor geospatial analytics provides detailed insights from indoor location data from things like service time optimization, dwell time, proximity analysis, asset location allocation, occupancy, and other space utilization elements to make informed decisions about building management. This leads to more informed operations decisions and better user experience in facilities.
