I'm proposing the use of ESRI products to capture manufacturing data. Technically the data has location (an operating assembly line in an actual warehouse) but the analytics we are after are more about the data variables of the manufactured product which is non-spatial. Example, if we have 10 variables in our cookie recipe and we are conducting taste testing at the end we want to know why some taste good and other taste bad. We probably don't need to use ESRI but Survey 123 for data input for some of the 10 variables and live stream via geoevent server data collection for some of the others would effectively capture the data. From there ESRI has plenty of analysis tools to predict what settings the 10 variables should be set at to get great tasting cookies. This examples primary focus is non-spatial analysis but I suspect once this is established the question of comparing individual manufacturing lines at different facilities will play into this.  Does anyone know of any good examples or case studies showing how ArcGIS Insights can be used to see what others can't with primarily non-spatial data. My audience will be non-GIS Executives with short attention spans, so no super long videos. Thanks and appreciate any help on this - Or tell me to stop force feeding every problem into the ESRI environment, LOL ... View more

Does anyone have a recent intro video showing off S123 capabilities that was created with non-gis people as the target. I'm trying to win over some upper managment type people. Thanks ... View more

To start we have an enterprise base deployment with no additional add-ons such as image server. We geo-reference drawings and images regularly and then publish them as a "map image" using the "share as web layer" to our portal/server. It seems to work in arcpro will little headaches. However when we do this the CPU, postgres, and arcsoc processes spike and bottleneck our enter enterprise system, sometimes so bad that it does not recover and we have to restart the server. I'm considering switching our workflow to publish as a "tile" layer type instead where we can cache locally. By doing this in theory I'll be putting the stress and processing power on my local machine instead of the enterprise server. Once done publishing and in our enterprise system they seem to have little impact on performance other then an additional service that refreshes however often we set it up for. Currently all we use these .tif images for in portal is to view them overlayed in our maps as background images.  Is there anything above that's not correct, and is there anything I'm not taking into consideration in regards to functionality differences between the two different layer types? Thanks for any insight you can share ... View more

I'm regularly asked whats the difference between Online and Portal, not from the hosting side but the what can you do in portal that you can't do in online? An example would be using an "enterprise Gedatabase with layers that have attribute rules".  Does anyone know where to find a functionality matrix that compares the two products side by side?
