Columbus is a global leader in Facility Infrastructure Management (FIS). Our core technology transforms CAD files into knowledge for various applications.
The company develops and markets intelligent software tools for the Facility Management and GIS markets.
The ADR (Automatic Drawing Recognition) technology, the FMWP (Facilities Management Web Platform) Development Kit and FN (Facility Navigator), the company's flagship products are widely used worldwide.
The Columbus ADR analyses and interprets CAD files into a standard SQL database. This automatic process integrates different infrastructure layers into a single interactive data base. On completion of the import, data created using the ADR forms the foundation for the FN and other third party applications.
FN is a facility infrastructure management (FIS) system, delivering comprehensive graphic and text information on facilities. It interprets the connectivity between all inter-related elements within an infrastructure layer, as well as between different layers.
FMWP provides maximum versatility and flexibility to create custom web forms containing CAD files and can integrate to any database. Information is stored in textual records and as CAD-based visual information. It is based on configuration and customization tools and a web forms generator, creating open-architecture web pages for specific applications and interfaces.
