DigiCollect Integrating Various Technologies to Harness the Power of GIS
IT vendors who are mainly into data conversion, survey and digitization have less scope for innovation as their tasks are more process oriented. On the other hand, vendors providing GIS based analytics service have better understanding of real world problems as they leverage computing either as a product or as a service to solve various geospatial problems. GIS based analytics service providers having highly skilled geo-informatics professionals coupled with data science and visualization scientists have an edge over others. Bangalore based DigiCollect has the same qualities and it boasts of its workforce which is able to capitalize on the convergence and intersection of various technologies. The company’s mobile based data collection platform system and its web based visualization engine is useful to gather any field based data in the form of images, text, audio, video, geo co-ordinates and barcodes. DigiCollect offers data collection and visualization solutions, renewable energy solutions, asset mapping solutions in addition to energy consulting service. “DigiCollect has mastered various GIS related algorithms which harness the true power of GIS, where multiple layers of data is crunched and analyzed for providing insights,” explains Sudhir Murthy, CTO at DigiCollect.He adds that DigiCollect was established with an aim to develop frontier technologies and consulting services in energy, utilities and infrastructure, real estate and agriculture sector. With the availability of high resolution satellite data in multispectral bands, multi temporal and multi mission modes, the company works on the possibilities of creating predictive models and simulations for different degree of GIS analysis. “We help clients collect data online and offline. Our capabilities to capture data include text, numeric data, location, audio, video, barcodes etc. on a mobile device which
is supplemented with Drone data for Images and terrain information,” adds Sudhir. With regard to Asset Mapping, DigiCollect offers its customers a single unified platform for monitoring assets such as land, energy and infrastructure. DigiCollect application is directly applicable to the energy industry, construction industry, hotels, universities, real-estate and various enterprises. As the application is SaaS based, enterprises enjoy the simplicity of the product and get to start using it without any additional infrastructure setup or overheads. “Our market validations especially in energy, utilities and real-estate sector are very promising and have the potential to disrupt some of the conventional tools used for asset mapping,” adds Sudhir.
Sudhir opines that geospatial technologies would be central to information management in India and believes that its applications can have great social as well as national relevance. “Geospatial technologies can support governance, help prepare sustainable development strategies, enable better management of business process and make geographical knowledge available to the citizens,” adds Sudhir. Going ahead, DigiCollect team is ready and poised to thrive in the market by providing solutions that are built using frontier technologies keeping Geographic Information Systems and remote sensing as core area. “We want to help governments transform their E-Governance agendas to include Geo enabled E-Governance and directly make an impact into governmental projects and citizen participation,” concludes Sudhir.
