An instrument for passive and active seismic surveying and vibration monitoring

Tromino

FME used to:read spreadsheet of survey points, combine with Tromino imagery to produce multiple outputs e.g. Google Earth and 3D PDF

Google Earth

A network of semi-wireless sensors for studying the environmenthttps://youtu.be/awERzxFbeWo

Sensornet

FME used to:read near real-time XML from web, compare with existing Oracle records and write new data to Oracle

Email with FME desktopEstablish an email server e.g. via AcrGIS server

Create email string attribute within workbenchhttp://nercbgskwarc101/FMEEmailAlert/WebService.ashx?EMAIL_TO=tonym@bgs.ac.u&EMAIL_SUBJECT=Sensornet daily data download&EMAIL_BODY=Ran OK last nightSend to email server using the FME HTTPcaller

Replaced with FME 2016.1 Emailer transformer?

Email with FME desktop

Keep an old FME installationFME updates always deliver improvements

But sometimes transformers and writers behave differently e.g. Adobe 3D PDF now uses PRC rather than U3D encoding

Keep an old installation to compare
