Reopen the Workplace: Facility Mapping Solutions for COVID-19 Recovery
AN ESRI WHITE PAPER 5
Solutions Based
on ArcGIS Indoors
To meet requirements for a return to the workplace, employers will need a system
that provides
• Floor plan-scale mapping of facilities.
• An indoor positioning system to locate people within facilities.
• A management dashboard to display key metrics associated with employees in
facilities.
Esri technology
provides these
capabilities through
ArcGIS Indoors
™
along with other
components of the
ArcGIS platform.
Currently, the full
capabilities of ArcGIS
Indoors are
implemented using
ArcGIS Enterprise as
a foundation in a
cloud or on-premises
environment.
However, in summer 2020, ArcGIS Indoors will also be available to implement in
ArcGIS Online.
ArcGIS Indoors is a general-purpose indoor mapping and GIS platform that can be
used in a variety of indoor mapping scenarios. With the implementation of an indoor
positioning system, ArcGIS Indoors can also track people via their mobile devices.
The ArcGIS Indoors capabilities position it to play a key role in any organization's
COVID-19 recovery and return to the workplace activities by providing a foundation
for the following use cases:
• Space Management
Currently, ArcGIS Indoors
supports manual
workflows to plan and
assign work locations that
conform to social
distancing guidelines. In
summer 2020, ArcGIS
Indoors will offer an easy-
to-deploy web application
for office planning. This
application will provide
additional functionality to
design seating compliant
with social distancing. ArcGIS Indoors will also support the ability to define hot
desking and hoteling areas as staff mix working from home with sharing office
workspaces.
