New Features and Application Practices of SuperMap iServer Processing Automation
【Introduction】SuperMap has upgraded various capabilities for automated processing services in SuperMap iServer 2023. It provides more convenient automated execution, safer model sharing, more comprehensive analysis tools, and more efficient computing performance. Besides, an automated web application has been launched to provide more complete model resource management capabilities.
With the rapid development of digital construction, various industries have put forward higher requirements for data sensing, processing and other capabilities. In order to solve the problems of high application threshold and low analysis efficiency in traditional spatio-temporal big data processing, processing automation emerged as wished. The SuperMap iServer processing automation service launched by SuperMap provides a simple modeling page, which can automate the data processing and analysis process without writing code. It builds business process models through a simple drag-and-drop method, significantly improving work efficiency and reducing development costs.
In order to further meet user needs, SuperMap has upgraded various capabilities for automated processing services in SuperMap iServer 2023, providing more convenient automated execution, safer model sharing, more comprehensive analysis tools, and more efficient computing performance. The newly launched Web applications for automated processing in SuperMap iPortal 2023 provides improved model resource management capabilities.
Automated execution facilitates real-time data processing
Meteorological decision-making services have high requirements for the efficiency of meteorological data processing. To realize the real-time automated storage of meteorological observation data and meteorological prediction data, and to regularly output standardized result data, the processing automation service of SuperMap iServer 2023 adds a scheduled task function to realize automated execution. The scheduled task function provides multiple types of triggers to meet different business needs. The default trigger supports execution model triggered by timing and listening file change. At the same time, the trigger can also bind tool parameters in the model and pass the changed files to the model for execution.
Take the hourly updated national wind direction data as an example. The business platform of Meteorological Information Center writes the updated national wind direction data to the PostGIS database every hour, generates single value thematic maps and publishes map services. Through the modeling page of automated processing service, it establishes automatic drawing and service publishing models. Combined with the scheduled task function, the entire process from data to service can be automated, saving manpower while achieving cost reduction and efficiency improvement.
Model encryption ensures safe sharing
Models built in actual business are usually used as business assets, the automated processing service of SuperMap iServer 2023 adds a new model library to manage models. The model library supports three kinds of authority: executable, viewable, and modifiable, and they can be flexibly combined as needed to ensure that model sharing is more secure and controllable.
Rich tools that assist with intelligent decision-making
Multi-source and multi-dimensional spatio-temporal data contain rich information, but also increase the complexity of data analysis. To meet diverse analysis needs and support intelligent applications in different fields, SuperMap iServer 2023's automated processing service provides more comprehensive analysis tools. A total of 140 new tools have been added in the 2023 version, covering image processing, 3D data, knowledge graphs and spatial analysis, and the total number of predefined tools exceeds 1,000.
In addition, in order to meet the personalized needs of business, SuperMap iServer 2023's automated processing is extensible. Technicians can use programming languages such as java/scala/Python to develop custom tools, or they can make full use of existing heterogeneous tools and services, and register command lines and http service interfaces as tools. The accessed custom tools can participate in modeling and be scheduled for execution through automated processing. By using a combination of custom and predefined tools, you can make full use of existing results and improve your comprehensive analysis and decision-making capabilities.

High performance supports massive data calculations
In order to meet the growing performance requirements of big data analysis, the processing automation service of SuperMap iServer 2023 further improves the computing performance of common stand-alone analysis tools and distributed analysis tools.
By optimizing algorithms and making full use of spatial indexing and parallel computing capabilities, the computing performance of stand-alone analysis tools such as overlay analysis, vector resampling, and raster reclassification has been significantly improved. While shortening project deployment time, it also significantly improves data processing efficiency.
*Note: Improvement multiple = (time used before improvement - time used after improvement)/ time used after improvement
Facing the increasingly large volume of multi-source and multi-dimensional spatio-temporal data, traditional single-computer computing method is incapable. Therefore, SuperMap iServer 2023's automated processing technology takes full advantage of distributed technology and provides more than 250 big data tools. These tools are designed based on distributed architecture and can be connected to distributed storage databases and distributed computing clusters. The 2023 version have been upgraded to realized full and efficient processing and calculation of massive data.
Low-code modeling provides support for model platform building
In order to better support the construction of model platforms and meet the needs of model resource management, SuperMap iPortal 2023 adds a new automated processing Web application, which realizes the integration, management and sharing of model results in the portal, and provides capabilities such as model service publishing, model service monitoring, and model resource management. With the help of automated processing Web applications, an autonomous and controllable model platform can be built to achieve rapid access, flexible orchestration and convenient invocation of professional models.
To sum up, the automated processing service of SuperMap iServer 2023 has been upgraded and strengthened its five major capabilities, making complex data processing and analysis simple and efficient. At present, the automated processing service has been widely used in many industry fields such as natural resources, land planning, meteorology and water conservancy.
