Airport DIgital Twin Enabling Capabilities
Modular Building Blocks
Simplify i3's system architecture is modular and flexible, leveraging comprehensive digital transformation building blocks. These “Lego-like” components enable system configuration without programming to achieve the full spectrum of functionality required for airport enterprise management.
Simplify i3 leverages web-enabled forms and spreadsheets with a common database repository, integrated with documents and photos, geospatial mapping, business analytics dashboards, mobile phones/tablets, IoT sensors and devices, and various other airport business systems as needed.
Simplify i3 is a Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) Software as a Service (SaaS), offered by EPIC Engineering & Consulting Group. The Simplify i3 system is built on state-of-the-art Google user interface technology, Apple iOS and Android mobile technologies, Esri’s GIS mapping technology, and Microsoft’s Azure cloud.
Supporting Airport's Full Lifecycle
Simplify i3 is driven by airport enterprise business needs, over the full lifecycle starting with planning and budgeting for new airport assets, building and activating the assets, and then operating, leasing, and maintaining the assets. Various integrated applications (apps) are available for each lifecycle phase. Our Digital Twin approach is to Simplify Integrated Infrastructure Intelligence (i3).
User-Configurable Forms with Mapping
Simplify i3 provides the airport owner out-of-the-box forms supporting various business processes and functions listed below. The airport owner's system administrator can reconfigure these or configure new forms, without programming; using drag-drop functionality; for both web and mobile interfaces.
User-Configurable Spreadsheets
Simplify i3 provides "list view" spreadsheets, which are easily configurable by the user, who can save various views for different reporting/analysis needs. Spreadsheet list views are practical; therefore, Microsoft Excel is heavily used by airport managers. Simplify i3 enables the airport manager to import their spreadsheets into the platform and realize further benefits and powerful functions. Simplify i3's list views may be exported back to Excel or to PDF for off-line use.
User-Configurable Dashboards & Reports
Simplify i3's graphical and spatial dashboards and reports empower the airport owner with effective Business Intelligence (BI) capabilities to manage through analytical metrics, trends, and predictive Artificial Intelligence (AI).
User-Friendly
Simplify i3 provides airport owners with state-of-the-art, user-friendly features, as listed to the right. These include user configurable icons for app-like functions, which are then easily recognizable on the system's built-in Esri-powered GIS map.
Practical
Simplify i3's user-friendly features also include practical functions such as yellow sticky notes for to-do reminders, speech to text (powered by Google) for easier information capture while in the field, integrated photo-video-audio capture which does not require manually importing/linking these files, and more...
