Use Cases
The specific use cases for interactive and dynamic indoor mapping applications are virtually limitless. Consider these broad use cases to stir your imagination.
Indoor Maps
From corporate offices to exhibitions, you can create dynamic maps that not only provide a floor plan, but features – such as smart equipment – within each room and the state of each of those features, including utilization metrics.
Facilities Management
Factories, hospitals, arenas, and more rely upon efficient maintenance for operation, health, and safety. With interactive and dynamic mapping applications, these facilities can monitor the status and location of equipment and infrastructure.
Wayfinding
Universities, shopping centers, and office campuses can be difficult to navigate. Handheld indoor location services built with Creator’s Wayfinding service and kiosks displaying Creator data, provide location guidance to benefit staff, students and visitors.
