GIS
(Geographic Information Systems)
RAP4 can be configured to use plot plans/maps hosted by WMS (Web Map Service) servers. Most major GIS providers support WMS. WMS maps can have multiple layers which can be turned on/off by the end user, and different information can be displayed at different zoom levels.
Map features can have information embedded in them (such as equipment details) so that when the mouse is moved over them a tool tip or other information can be displayed.
Current Plot Plans start out as CAD files or Satellite Images and then the images generated from them are used in RAP4.
System | Features
With GIS data in RAP4, spatial queries can be carried out e.g.
- How many permits within 5 metres of the work area
- Automatically place permits at the correct functional location
Integration with RAP4 Mobile
- If you are using mobile devices, RAP4 will be able to show you where and when people were when they entered signatures against a permit
All data entered into RAP4’s GIS system can be tagged with owner / interested party details.
RAP4 converts vector data into GIS friendly formats for graphical representation.
Benefits
- Allows a detailed view of large, extended areas
- Detail can increase as you zoom in
- RAP4 supports any WMS compliant server, including ESRI ArcGIS, GeoServer & MapServer
- WMS compliant GIS Server built into RAP4 - allows easy viewing of data in your existing GIS software
Turnaround
The speed at which permits can be issued during turnarounds can have a large effect upon overall performance, with any delays in issuing impacting upon the time taken to get the job done. RAP’s upfront planning capability, its flexible rules and barcode controls greatly enhance this process giving potential for large savings.
Mobile
The RAP4 Mobile module enables all users to interact with RAP wherever they are, ensuring speed and accuracy of information and keeping everyone aware of work status.
E-Learning
Yokogawa’s RAP4 eLearning portal offers training to workers in an organisation for all modules, Permit to Work, Isolations, and Administration. The portal will enable basic users to receive training in basic tasks.
Risk Assessment
Robust Risk Assessment identifying all hazards present in the workplace that have the potential to cause harm enabling the necessary control measures to mitigate the risk.
