Real-Time Visualization & Analytics
Your Operations Visualized as They Happen
Traditional GIS works with data that was collected in the past. Real-time GIS works with data that is happening right now. Blue Raster configures and deploys Esri's real-time analytics tools to give organizations a live, map-driven view of their assets, events, and operations, with automated alerts when conditions change and thresholds are crossed.
As an authorized Esri reseller and implementation partner, Blue Raster can procure ArcGIS Velocity and ArcGIS GeoEvent Server licenses on your behalf and handle the full implementation from data feed configuration to dashboard deployment. Whether you are new to real-time GIS or looking to scale an existing environment, we are the partner to call.
What We Deliver
Real-Time Capabilities
Blue Raster delivers end-to-end real-time GIS implementations, from data feed configuration and analytics setup to live dashboards and automated alert systems.
AVL Fleet Tracking
Integrate Automatic Vehicle Location feeds from Geotab and other AVL providers into ArcGIS Velocity or GeoEvent Server. Display precise vehicle locations on live maps, track routes, calculate speed and bearing, and build fleet dashboards for dispatch and operations staff.
AVL · Fleet Management · Live MapsCAD and Dispatch Integration
Connect Computer Aided Dispatch systems to the ArcGIS platform to display active service calls, unit assignments, and incident locations on a live common operating picture for dispatch centers and field supervisors.
CAD · Dispatch · Public Safety · EOCIoT Sensor Monitoring
Ingest and visualize data from IoT sensors measuring temperature, flow, pressure, air quality, water levels, and more. Configure spatial analytics and alert rules that automatically notify staff when sensor readings exceed thresholds or anomalies are detected.
IoT · Sensors · Environmental MonitoringGeofencing and Spatial Triggers
Define geographic zones and configure automated responses when assets enter, exit, or dwell within defined areas. Trigger emails, SMS messages, webhook calls, or feature layer updates automatically when spatial conditions are met in your live data streams.
Geofencing · Spatial Triggers · AutomationLive Operational Dashboards
Build ArcGIS Dashboards and Experience Builder applications that display real-time data from Velocity and GeoEvent Server feeds. Give leadership, dispatch, and field teams a shared operational picture with live maps, charts, and KPI indicators.
ArcGIS Dashboards · Live Operations · COPAI-Enhanced Situational Awareness
Integrate AI and machine learning into real-time GIS workflows to automatically detect anomalies, classify events, and predict emerging risks before they escalate. Blue Raster incorporates AI to enhance the intelligence of your live operational environment.

ArcGIS Velocity
ArcGIS Velocity is Esri's cloud-based SaaS platform for real-time data streaming and big data analytics. It ingests, processes, and visualizes high-velocity data streams at scale without requiring on-premises infrastructure. From IoT sensors and AVL feeds to CAD systems and Azure Event Hubs, Velocity connects your operational data to the ArcGIS platform in minutes.
Enterprise Flexible Streaming
ArcGIS GeoEvent Server
ArcGIS GeoEvent Server is a powerful extension for ArcGIS Enterprise that enables real-time data ingestion, processing, and visualization. It can be deployed on-premises, in the cloud on AWS or Azure, or in a hybrid environment, giving organizations the flexibility to choose the infrastructure model that fits their security, governance, and scalability requirements.
Blue Raster installs, configures, and optimizes GeoEvent Server deployments for government agencies, utilities, public safety organizations, and enterprise clients. Whether you need an air-gapped on-premises deployment or a cloud-hosted configuration, we build the connections, workflows, and dashboards that keep your operations visible and responsive.
Choosing the Right Tool
Velocity vs. GeoEvent Server
ArcGIS Velocity: Best For
- Cloud-first organizations using ArcGIS Online who want SaaS deployment without managing server infrastructure
- High-volume data streams requiring built-in high availability and disaster recovery
- Big data analytics alongside real-time processing, including batch analysis of historical records
- Organizations that want fast time-to-value with 30 to 60 minute activation and minimal setup
- Teams that want operational and geospatial analysts to manage data feeds without IT overhead
ArcGIS GeoEvent Server: Best For
- Organizations with ArcGIS Enterprise who need on-premises, cloud, or hybrid deployment flexibility.
- Highly customized integrations requiring custom connectors, processors, and Java SDK extensions
- Public safety and defense organizations with strict data governance and sovereignty requirements
- Organizations that need control over where data is stored, whether on-premises or in their own cloud environment
- Environments where GIS administrators need full control over the streaming infrastructure
