1. Development
Orhitec GIS develops solutions and applications in the field of information systems, particularly Geographic Information Systems (GIS) for governments, municipalities, businesses and the public.The department is involved in the field of interactive public domain government information and the integration of various information systems, in which information is shared by way of Enterprise Resource Projects and/or applications developed by the company. At the present stage, we have developed several modules for local governments, municipalities, and businesses in the field of GIS within the overall framework of public domain information. Among them are applications for the management of information regarding all local government responsibilities such as: city development, land registration, municipal revenue, property taxes, public and private property, infrastructure, tourism, traffic, municipal park and public garden maintenance etc.
One of the most important of our development department applications is the pen tablet solution for Geographic Information Systems. With this solution any organization which is involved in the field of GIS can realize enormous savings in data collection. overhead Our pen tablet solutions provide simple user interfaces and easy to use applications.
The company is also involved with advanced solutions beyond those required for public domain systems.
Recently, the company received recognition from the European Common Market, to develop municipal applications for the European market.
2. Geographic Information Systems and Data Collection
Our GIS applications and methodology are based on photogrammetric mapping and orthophotos.
We can perform data collection in the following fields as turnkey projects using our GIS technology:
3. Technology
For all of the above applications, and others, our company has developed an extensive set of stand-alone applications for data collection, data checking (quality control), data management, and many others. These applications can be used as stand-alone programs, or as modules within our GIS application.
Our systems are compatible with PC systems running Microsoft or Oracle applications on IBM, HP, Compaq, Fujitsu Siemens, etc.
Our geographic applications are based on ESRI and AutoDesk or Visio software, and the databases on Microsoft or Oracle applications.
The user interface is customizable for various users, depending on the level of access to sensitive information.
Our development department can provide a user interface in any language required by the client.
All our applications can interface with existing programs such as billing applications, data maintenance etc.
Our systems are supplied as turnkey applications that include hardware solutions, outsourcing to professional personnel, help desk, and others.
Our company provides user support and training for the GIS products to various clients.
4. Advantages and Capability of GIS as an Information Server
The solution that we offer is developed as a modular system that includes ‘layers’ of information. Our system is capable of providing information to all members of an organization, and through the Internet, to the public at large. The construction of this single information server includes information that is of interest to a wide-range of user, including engineering departments, tax collection, education, tourist information, etc.
An important advantage of our system is the ability to update data and to extract information. The updated information is immediately available to all users. The potential users of the system in the municipality are
5. Orthophoto Products
Digital orthophotos are true photogrammetric-grade maps. As such, they are invaluable for city planning (land use), infrastructure planning, tax assessment, building permit regulation, and as a base for GIS (Geographic Information System) applications.
Photographs can be processed in black-and-white, color, and infrared, and can be printed at sizes up to 3x3 meters. Photographs can be scanned at geodetic quality (negative or diapositive) to provide digital files.
Digital image processing of aerial photographs to orthophotos is carried out according to the highest standards as published by the Israel Government Mapping Institute. The process includes geodetic scanning of negatives, orthorectification based on DTM (digital terrain model), and mosaicing if necessary. Products are supplied to the client on CD in TIFF format.
Orhitec GIS is staffed by experts in geodetic engineering, computers, and photogrammetry. Their knowledge and ability will ensure that our orthophoto products will meet the highest expectations of our clients .
