CompassCom Unveils Next-Gen CompassLDE Connectors for Real-Time Asset Tracking in Esri ArcGIS Solutions

CompassLDE Connectors improve personnel safety, enhance operational efficiency, and achieve sustainability goals.

“The new plug-and-play CompassLDE Connectors now allow Esri users at every ArcGIS product level to display live location and status details of their vehicles, personnel, and equipment on their GIS screens,” said CompassCom CEO W. Brant Howard. “Power Esri users will be able to tap into CompassLDE telemetry with their big data analytics applications to extract valuable insights into their operations.”

There are CompassLDE Connectors for three Esri products available from CompassCom:

• ArcGIS Online
• ArcGIS GeoEvent Processor
• ArcGIS Velocity

Embraced across North America by public works, public safety, street maintenance, and transportation departments at the state and local government levels, CompassLDE (Location Data Engine) was developed as an Automated Vehicle Location (AVL) data engine. Later upgraded as a mobile resource management solution to track any GPS-enabled device, CompassLDE is now a universal on-premises or cloud-based server capable of monitoring thousands of assets in multiple fleets over all wireless communications networks.

CompassCom has enhanced the latest version of CompassLDE to gather an almost limitless array of sensor inputs, referred to as telemetry, from assets in the field. Primarily related to vehicle activities, these include Ignition On/Off, Engine Diagnostics, Idle Time, Material Spreader On/Off, Plow Up/Down, Miles Traveled, and other data points. The server can even keep track of how much sand or chemical has been applied by a snowplow, for example.
