Applied Geographics, Inc. Integrated Installation Management: Building a Web-based Solution for the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard Short Bio: Richard K. Grady is Executive Vice President at AGI. Mr. Grady provides project planning and management direction on major projects, and is involved directly in the implementation of geospatial data standards and new technology, including the current US Navy Smart Base initiative at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard. Altogether, Mr. Grady has more than 20 years of experience in cartography, mapping and GIS. Mr. Grady has an MBA from Suffolk University in Boston and a BS cum laude in Resource Economics from University of Massachusetts, Amherst.

Abstract: Portsmouth Naval Shipyard (PNS) is publishing facilities data on its intranet to over 3,000 users, using Map Objects Internet Map Server. The system, currently referred to as the Portsmouth Integrated Installation Management (PI2M) system, provides centralized access to Shipyard maps, drawings, and database information. Among other features, the system employs a map-based interface with pan, zoom, and point-and-click query capabilities. The benefits of the system include streamlined business processes and improved asset management. The U.S. Navy selected Applied Geographics, Inc. (AGI), from Boston, Massachusetts to build this solution. In addition to MO/IMS, AGI employed general-purpose Web and database technologies to interface to legacy data, including AutoCAD files, Microsoft Access, and Oracle databases. AGI is currently working with the Navy on a similar system for 24 shore facility installations in the Atlantic Fleet. |
