infsoft Maps Editor
The map data managed in the infsoft Maps Editor serves as the central foundation for all map-based applications within the infsoft LocAware platform® and connected frontend solutions. The Maps Editor enables the creation and ongoing maintenance of geo-referenced location data. Within the editor, building layouts, rooms, and structural as well as functional elements are digitally captured and managed.
This results in a digital representation of buildings across multiple floors, in which the spatial infrastructure (such as machinery, workstations, meeting rooms, sanitary areas, etc.) is modeled using polygons and wall elements. Each recorded polygon is assigned a specific pattern, which defines its properties and enables both functional and visual differentiation. Patterns control attributes such as color coding, prioritization, and visualization within the 3D view.
The digital structures created in the Maps Editor are made available system-wide across all geo-referenced tools provided by infsoft.
Creation of Digital Building Maps
With the infsoft Maps Editor, building layouts can be precisely aligned with the floor plans of external base maps. Each floor plan is projected as a separate layer onto the corresponding site map. The basis for this can be provided graphic or CAD files, which are geo-referenced and integrated into the editor.
This linkage ensures that all elements from areas and rooms to pathway layouts are GPS-referenced across all levels and conform to the WGS84 standard. Coordinates are consistently output in the format latitude, longitude, and level.
Format Flexibility & CAFM Integration
The infsoft Maps Editor supports integration with third-party CAFM systems and enables the exchange of data in a wide range of standard file formats. These include XML, SVG, JPG, PNG, PDF, GML, GeoJSON, DWG, DXF, Shapefile, and IMDF. Thanks to this broad format compatibility, the editor can be seamlessly integrated into existing IT infrastructures.
Creation of room polygons
The infsoft Maps Editor enables fast and accurate measurement of distances, for example along room walls. With a single click, the map can be aligned to a selected line parallel to the horizontal map edge, making drawing tasks more efficient. Thanks to GPS referencing, all drawn polygons are to scale, allowing for reliable calculation of area sizes.
Room Polygons for Vector-Based Maps
Using integrated drawing tools, areas and rooms can be digitally captured as polygons within the aligned map. These polygons are assigned patterns that define attributes such as color scheme and elevation behavior in the 3D view. When importing data from third-party systems (e.g., via GeoJSON), pattern assignment can be automated through object references.
All elements are stored in the database and are immediately available across all tools of the LocAware platform® as well as in connected frontend applications.
2D/3D Visualization
Defined areas and rooms can be assigned various properties, known as patterns. These control aspects such as color representation, visualization in 2D and 3D views (including variable heights), and visibility at specific zoom levels on the map.
