ControlMine es una herramienta de campo diseñada para visualizar geometrías espaciales personalizadas en mapa y entorno 3D de manera rápida y fluida sin depender de conexión a internet. Gestión de Datos * Importa archivos DXF para visualizarlos en el mapa y en el entorno 3D. * Importa archivos GeoJSON, KML, ZIP (PNG + PGW) y MBTiles (Vectoriales o Rasterizados) para el mapa. * Importa archivos OBJ y USDZ para el entorno 3D. * Importa archivos DB para alimentar la base de datos local de registros de equipos. Registro de Datos * Registra coordenadas de forma rápida y directa. * Dibuja geometrías vectoriales sobre el mapa y expórtalas como una tabla de datos o en formatos GeoJSON, KML o DXF. * Realiza anotaciones directamente sobre el mapa y expórtalas en formato GeoJSON. * Escanea superficies y genera un modelo OBJ al instante (el dispositivo debe contar con sensor LiDAR). Base de Datos Local * La aplicación cuenta con una base de datos local con atributos fundamentales de equipos como coordenadas de ubicación, tiempo de registro, velocidad, nombre y tipo del equipo. * El modo de importación de estos datos se detalla en el manual interno de la app. * Realiza análisis de velocidades con los registros importados mediante gráficos de polígonos hexagonales o temperatura en el mapa. * Realiza una reproducción dentro del intervalo de tiempo de los registros activos, puedes ingresar imágenes PNG para representar los equipos en el mapa y modelos USDZ para el entorno 3D. * Realiza un reporte de eventos de ingreso y salida de zonas, para esto necesitas importar los polígonos de las zonas de interés. Características Adicionales * Organiza tus archivos de trabajo en proyectos independientes. * Visualiza tus archivos importados en Realidad Aumentada mediante el modo inmersivo disponible en el entorno 3D. * Utiliza la aplicación sin conexión a internet (solo requiere conexión para cargar los datos del mapa). Privacidad * Esta aplicación es completamente gratuita y no recopila ningún dato de sus usuarios. Muchas gracias por el interés en la aplicación. Este proyecto se realizó con la finalidad de facilitar la visualización de los datos trabajados en oficina para tenerlos accesibles desde cualquier lugar con un rendimiento generalmente óptimo.
