Web GIS Empowers Smart Logistics — Visualize Supply Chain on a Global Scale
The global collaboration and integration of online and offline channels have brought new challenges to the logistics industry. Thus, smart logistics has become a promising solution for handling the increasing complexity and volume of logistics operations. Technologies, such as the Internet of Things, big data, and artificial intelligence, enable more efficient functions in logistics operations. One of the key facts of all, visualization, significantly boost the logistics industry.
From logistics transportation to goods sorting to site distribution, Hightopo visualization solution covers the entire chain of logistics business and meets the visualization needs of all aspects of the logistics industry.
In this article, we will focus on the application of Web GIS, and Hightopo’s visualization product — HT for Web.
Using the HT for Web GIS product, the visualization function of hightopo and GIS are combined, allowing users to display and query the existing geographic information data, and convert the geographic information system data into rich visual effects. Display and superimpose, such as site distribution, logistics route trajectory, regional information viewing, etc. Effectively improve the efficiency of logistics and transportation, reduce logistics management costs, optimize all aspects of logistics, and promote the construction and development of the smart logistics industry.
HT and Cesium are both using WebGL under the hood, so they can be seamlessly integrated. After all, their respective strengths are different, but this integration can be a strong combination of 100% functions without discounts, Cesium GIS functional strengths + HT lightweight 3D scenes and equipment 2D/3D fusion shows its strengths.
According to the obtained site placement density and facility distribution, the location data is presented in the form of heat map visualization. The color of the heat map from dark to light reflects the sparse degree of dispersion, helping users to see the layout of global logistics at a glance.
The 3d bar chart is intended to use different heights, different areas, different positions, and different colors to compare business numerical information concisely and effectively, and provide users with excellent decision-making basis effects.
With the map as the background, a single geographical coordinate(sites, facilities, warehouses) is displayed as a point, reflecting the millions of data points on the map. Labelling, showing the density and distribution with elements such as point size, color depth, etc. Make the data easy to understand and have a panoramic view.
Visualize certain areas; Analyze the relationship between the basic graphics of points, lines and planes of logistics in various regions.
With IoT and 5G technology, data is now able to be collected. With HT visualization solution, industry is now able to visualize and manage critical goods from anywhere, at any time, on a global scale. If a negative event occurs, early intervention could significantly reduce losses further down the supply chain.
More HT Web GIS Application
HT for Web GIS product is intended to easy develop GIS projects and reduce users’ learning and costs for GIS projects. Combined with HT’s powerful visualization engine, it can realize the overlay display of different map tile data, oblique photography, 3D models, POI and other data. Subvert the development of traditional GIS systems, making development more convenient, data more intuitive, and display more diverse.
