Tackling Memory Challenges in FME When Working with Large OpenStreetMap Datasets
Tackling Memory Challenges in FME When Working with Large OpenStreetMap DatasetsSafe Software OpenStreetMap (OSM) is an open geographic database widely used in all kinds of tools and applications. Given the open-source nature of OSM, it contains an extensive range of information and geometries. However, it’s not feasible to use this data as-is unless you transform it to the data schema the client has in mind. This way we can create a customized dataset that can be downloaded by end users. In this project, we use FME for the conversion of the raw OSM data to a dataset that will be used as the foundational layer for specialized maps, such as walking or cycling maps. In a first step, we need to download OSM data. In this case we use Geofabrik, a trusted source for OSM extracts. This raw data, covering five European countries, needs mapping and filtering to meet the specific project requirements. Due to the large size of the dataset, memory limitations in FME pose significant challenges, leading to performance issues (e.g. crashes). A key part of the presentation focuses on these challenges and practical strategies for optimizing FME workflows to prevent memory overload, including methods for chunking data, reducing memory usage with specific transformers, and so on. Finally, I will introduce a FME flow app that enables users to easily download specific bounding boxes of cleaned and processed OSM data. By the end of this session, attendees will gain valuable insights into working with OSM data, handling memory limitations and creating easy interfaces for users.
Automating ArcGIS Content Discovery with FME
Automating ArcGIS Content Discovery with FMESafe Software Managing ArcGIS Enterprise can be overwhelming, not just due to the vast content that accumulates within an organization, but also because of the intricate web of connections between them. Backed by input from ArcGIS users and first-hand experience with this problem, I have developed a single-page application powered by FME to streamline this task. All with no additional infrastructure! This app serves as a centralized catalog that organizes all elements of an ArcGIS implementation in an intuitive, easy-to-navigate dashboard. Deployed via an FME Flow Project, it requires minimal setup and uses the ArcGIS REST API to automatically discover and map relationships between content, users, and groups. FME transforms repetitive tasks into efficient, automated workflows that wouldn’t be feasible otherwise. A key feature of the app is its one-click reporting, enabled by FME Flow webhooks, which generates instant, visual summaries. This project integrates ArcGIS REST API, images, JSON, HTML, and D3 for a robust and user-friendly content management solution. This presentation will showcase FME’s role in automating content discovery and managing relationships within ArcGIS. A live demo will highlight how this solution reduces human error, saves hundreds of hours and demonstrates the ease of deployment via FME Flow Projects. Already in use by several clients, this application empowers organizations, helping them save time and money and maximize their investment in FME and ArcGIS.

From Manual to Auto Searching- FME in the Driver's Seat
From Manual to Auto Searching- FME in the Driver's SeatSafe Software Finding a specific car online can be a time-consuming task, especially when checking multiple dealer websites. A few years ago, I faced this exact problem while searching for a particular vehicle in New Zealand. The local classified platform, Trade Me (similar to eBay), wasn’t yielding any results, so I expanded my search to second-hand dealer sites—only to realise that periodically checking each one was going to be tedious. That’s when I noticed something interesting: many of these websites used the same platform to manage their inventories. Recognising this, I reverse-engineered the platform’s structure and built an FME workspace that automated the search process for me. By integrating API calls and setting up periodic checks, I received real-time email alerts when matching cars were listed. In this presentation, I’ll walk through how I used FME to save hours of manual searching by creating a custom car-finding automation system. While FME can’t buy a car for you—yet—it can certainly help you find the one you’re after!

Using FME to Help the Field Help You - Peak of Data & AI
Using FME to Help the Field Help You - Peak of Data & AISafe Software My talk will focus on how I'm using a few workbenches that are run daily in FME Flow ensure that data is ready for final processing and integration into systems of record at bp Terminals and Pipelines. We have a few hundred field staff that use ESRI's Survey123 to collect data on repairs made to our pipelines. My talk will highlight how FME helps the GIS team perform spatial QC on that data, manage a complex review and approval process involving field and office staff, and make final loading of data into systems of record a breeze. The first workbench I'll highlight looks at the GPS point captured for the report, and whether it is within a certain distance of our pipeline centerline. If it is not within a certain distance, then the user will be alerted, and asked whether our centerline is in the wrong spot, or if their GPS point is in the wrong location. The second workbench I'll highlight will show how data collected in the field is moved through a review/approval process from field to office staff. FME takes data collected in Survey123, visualizes that data in a more human-readable format (Word Document), and alerts users when it is time for them to review and approve data assigned to them. Finally, I'll highlight how FME helps the GIS staff easily bulk load this data collected in the field into a PODS database for company-wide visualization and access.

Managing City of Cockburn's Cloud Migration and ESRI Field Operations with FME
Managing City of Cockburn's Cloud Migration and ESRI Field Operations with FMESafe Software The City of Cockburn, located 20km south of Perth, is home to 130,000 people, expected to grow to 170,000 by 2026. It offers various attractions and services, including wetlands, employment opportunities, and community facilities. The city uses TechnologyOne ERP and ESRI ArcGIS for managing tasks and requests. Facing a November 2024 deadline to migrate TechnologyOne ERP to the cloud, the city needed to update its SQL and Python-based integrations with ArcGIS. The original developers had left, and the new team found the existing integrations difficult to manage. To address this, the city chose Safe Software’s FME for integration, with support from 1Spatial. They developed a Proof of Concept (PoC) for waste management integration and provided tailored FME training to the GIS and Business Systems teams. Initially using sFTP for data exchange, they switched to RESTful Web Services for more robust updates, utilizing FME’s Change Detector for real-time synchronization. The PoC was completed in two months, and all integrations within six months, ensuring a smooth transition to the cloud. This modernization allows the city to maintain and develop streamlined data flows between systems, ensuring efficiency and scalability for future need.
University Campus Navigation for All - Peak of Data & AI
University Campus Navigation for All - Peak of Data & AISafe Software Navigating around the 1000 acres of UBC Vancouver’s campus may look like a walk in a park, but when you’re a student in a wheelchair trying to find a powered door to the class you’re late for, it is not all that scenic. UBC’s GIS team will share the journey from the original 2003 static map application to the current web application built using FME and the ArcGIS JavaScript API. There were two main goals with this new application: 1. Enable the UBC community to easily interact with and navigate the campus by walking, cycling and accessible means (which include mobility constraints such as steep slopes, stairs, and doors that are not powered). 2. Provide high quality geospatial data that is authoritative and updated using FME to reflect existing conditions on campus including road, sidewalk or building closures for construction. We will cover the unique challenges in creating a navigation application which offers features that Google Maps cannot at the scale of a University campus. Door to door navigation, avoiding stairs and steep slopes, navigating to accessible entrances and up to date construction barriers are some of the features we will discuss.

Modernizing Vermont's Cyanobacteria Tracking Program
Modernizing Vermont's Cyanobacteria Tracking ProgramSafe Software The Cyanobacteria Tracking Program in Vermont is a collaborative effort between the Departments of Health (VDH) and Environmental Conservation (DEC), and the Lake Champlain Committee. Since 2003, trained volunteers, staff, and citizens have regularly monitored Vermont's bays, lakes, and ponds during the cyanobacteria season. This crucial information is shared with the public through the state's Cyanobacteria Tracker Map. In 2024, with new FME Flow licensing, the VDH GIS and Data Viz team overhauled a critical component: real-time data synchronization and the notification system. Using FME Flow, we can now monitor reports in near real-time, alert staff of new blooms, and flag potential errors in the data.
Several enhancements have also been implemented this season. We can now monitor blooms near drinking water intakes and notify DEC staff. Another exciting enhancement is the integration with our Cooling Sites map, an interactive tool that helps the public find places to cool down on hot days. This map features cool indoor locations and parks with swimming access. However, some beaches may be closed due to blooms or elevated E. coli levels. Thanks to FME, we can now integrate these key pieces of information and update our Cooling Sites map with beach closure information in real-time. FME has made this real-time data integration not only possible but also easy to implement and manage. We are excited to continue modernizing our data systems using FME.

My talk will highlight how FME helps the GIS team perform spatial QC on that data, manage a complex review and approval process involving field and office staff, and make final loading of data into systems of record a breeze. The first workbench I'll highlight looks at the GPS point captured for the report, and whether it is within a certain distance of our pipeline centerline. If it is not within a certain distance, then the user will be alerted, and asked whether our centerline is in the wrong spot, or if their GPS point is in the wrong location. The second workbench I'll highlight will show how data collected in the field is moved through a review/approval process from field to office staff. FME takes data collected in Survey123, visualizes that data in a more human-readable format (Word Document), and alerts users when it is time for them to review and approve data assigned to them. Finally, I'll highlight how FME helps the GIS staff easily bulk load this data collected in the field into a PODS database for company-wide visualization and access.
Digital Transformation: Automating the Placement of Medical Interns
Digital Transformation: Automating the Placement of Medical InternsSafe Software Discover how the Health Service Executive (HSE) in Ireland has leveraged FME to implement an automated solution for its “Order of Merit” process, which assigns medical interns to their preferred placements based on applications and academic performance. This presentation will showcase how FME validates applicant data, including placement preferences and academic results, ensuring both accuracy and eligibility. It will also explore how FME automates the matching process, efficiently assigning placements to interns and distributing offer letters. Beyond this, FME actively monitors responses and dynamically reallocates placements in line with the order of merit when offers are accepted or declined. The solution also features a self-service portal (FME Flow Gallery App), enabling administrators to manage the entire process seamlessly, make adjustments, generate reports, and maintain audit logs. Additionally, the system upholds strict data security and governance, utilising FME to encrypt data both at rest and in transit.
Managing City of Cockburn's Cloud Migration and ESRI Field Operations with FME
Managing City of Cockburn's Cloud Migration and ESRI Field Operations with FMESafe Software The City of Cockburn, located 20km south of Perth, is home to 130,000 people, expected to grow to 170,000 by 2026. It offers various attractions and services, including wetlands, employment opportunities, and community facilities. The city uses TechnologyOne ERP and ESRI ArcGIS for managing tasks and requests. Facing a November 2024 deadline to migrate TechnologyOne ERP to the cloud, the city needed to update its SQL and Python-based integrations with ArcGIS. The original developers had left, and the new team found the existing integrations difficult to manage. To address this, the city chose Safe Software’s FME for integration, with support from 1Spatial. They developed a Proof of Concept (PoC) for waste management integration and provided tailored FME training to the GIS and Business Systems teams. Initially using sFTP for data exchange, they switched to RESTful Web Services for more robust updates, utilizing FME’s Change Detector for real-time synchronization. The PoC was completed in two months, and all integrations within six months, ensuring a smooth transition to the cloud. This modernization allows the city to maintain and develop streamlined data flows between systems, ensuring efficiency and scalability for future need.
University Campus Navigation for All - Peak of Data & AI
University Campus Navigation for All - Peak of Data & AISafe Software Navigating around the 1000 acres of UBC Vancouver’s campus may look like a walk in a park, but when you’re a student in a wheelchair trying to find a powered door to the class you’re late for, it is not all that scenic. UBC’s GIS team will share the journey from the original 2003 static map application to the current web application built using FME and the ArcGIS JavaScript API. There were two main goals with this new application: 1. Enable the UBC community to easily interact with and navigate the campus by walking, cycling and accessible means (which include mobility constraints such as steep slopes, stairs, and doors that are not powered). 2. Provide high quality geospatial data that is authoritative and updated using FME to reflect existing conditions on campus including road, sidewalk or building closures for construction. We will cover the unique challenges in creating a navigation application which offers features that Google Maps cannot at the scale of a University campus. Door to door navigation, avoiding stairs and steep slopes, navigating to accessible entrances and up to date construction barriers are some of the features we will discuss.
Automating FME Flow Usage Statistics and Administration
Automating FME Flow Usage Statistics and AdministrationSafe Software This presentation demonstrates how FME Form, FME Flow, PostgreSQL, an ArcGIS Dashboard, and Grafana were used to create interactive visualizations for monitoring job statistics and server performance.

The same concepts from these FME workflows could be used to manage other systems with FME, such as ArcGIS Enterprise.
Automated Migration of ESRI Geodatabases Using XML Control Files and FME
Automated Migration of ESRI Geodatabases Using XML Control Files and FMESafe Software Efficient data migration is a critical challenge in geospatial data management, especially when working with complex data structures. This presentation explores an automated approach to migrating ESRI Geodatabases using FME and XML-based control files. A key advantage of this method is its adaptability: changes to the data model are seamlessly incorporated into the migration process without requiring modifications to the underlying FME workflow. By separating data model definitions from migration logic, this approach ensures flexibility, reduces maintenance effort, and enhances scalability.
Modernizing Vermont's Cyanobacteria Tracking Program
Modernizing Vermont's Cyanobacteria Tracking ProgramSafe Software The Cyanobacteria Tracking Program in Vermont is a collaborative effort between the Departments of Health (VDH) and Environmental Conservation (DEC), and the Lake Champlain Committee. Since 2003, trained volunteers, staff, and citizens have regularly monitored Vermont's bays, lakes, and ponds during the cyanobacteria season. This crucial information is shared with the public through the state's Cyanobacteria Tracker Map. In 2024, with new FME Flow licensing, the VDH GIS and Data Viz team overhauled a critical component: real-time data synchronization and the notification system. Using FME Flow, we can now monitor reports in near real-time, alert staff of new blooms, and flag potential errors in the data.
Several enhancements have also been implemented this season. We can now monitor blooms near drinking water intakes and notify DEC staff. Another exciting enhancement is the integration with our Cooling Sites map, an interactive tool that helps the public find places to cool down on hot days. This map features cool indoor locations and parks with swimming access. However, some beaches may be closed due to blooms or elevated E. coli levels. Thanks to FME, we can now integrate these key pieces of information and update our Cooling Sites map with beach closure information in real-time. FME has made this real-time data integration not only possible but also easy to implement and manage. We are excited to continue modernizing our data systems using FME.

Reducing Conflicts and Increasing Safety Along the Cycling Networks of East-F...Safe Software In partnership with the Belgian Province of East-Flanders this project aimed to reduce conflicts and increase safety along a cycling route between the cities of Oudenaarde and Ghent. To achieve this goal, the current cycling network data needed some extra key information, including: Speed limits for segments, Access restrictions for different users (pedestrians, cyclists, motor vehicles, etc.), Priority rules at intersections. Using a 360° camera and GPS mounted on a measuring bicycle, we collected images of traffic signs and ground markings along the cycling lanes building up mobile mapping data. Image recognition technologies identified the road signs, creating a dataset with their locations and codes. The data processing entailed three FME workspaces. These included identifying valid intersections with other networks (e.g., roads, railways), creating a topological network between segments and intersections and linking road signs to segments and intersections based on proximity and orientation. Additional features, such as speed zones, inheritance of speed and access to neighbouring segments were also implemented to further enhance the data. The final results were visualized in ArcGIS, enabling analysis for the end users. The project provided them with key insights, including statistics on accessible road segments, speed limits, and intersection priorities. These will make the cycling paths more safe and uniform, by reducing conflicts between users.

Enabling BIM / GIS integrations with Other Systems with FME
Enabling BIM / GIS integrations with Other Systems with FMESafe Software Jacobs has successfully utilized FME to tackle the complexities of integrating diverse data sources in a confidential $1 billion campus improvement project. The project aimed to create a comprehensive digital twin by merging Building Information Modeling (BIM) data, Construction Operations Building Information Exchange (COBie) data, and various other data sources into a unified Geographic Information System (GIS) platform. The challenge lay in the disparate nature of these data sources, which were siloed and incompatible with each other, hindering efficient data management and decision-making processes.
To address this, Jacobs leveraged FME to automate the extraction, transformation, and loading (ETL) of data between ArcGIS Indoors and IBM Maximo. This process ensured accurate transfer of maintainable asset and work order data, creating a comprehensive 2D and 3D representation of the campus for Facility Management. FME's server capabilities enabled real-time updates and synchronization between ArcGIS Indoors and Maximo, facilitating automatic updates of asset information and work orders. Additionally, Survey123 forms allowed field personnel to capture and submit data directly from their mobile devices, triggering FME workflows via webhooks for real-time data updates. This seamless integration has significantly enhanced data management, improved decision-making processes, and ensured data consistency across the project lifecycle.
