AMDS Hub - your independent guide to the AMDS
We are excited to announce the launch of a new resource from The Datastack; the AMDS Hub.
Located at amdshub.co.nz, the AMDS Hub is your independent guide to the New Zealand Asset Management Data Standard.
From a beautiful spatial implementation tracker, to simple & non-jargony examples, the AMDS Hub will give you a basic introduction to what the AMDS is all about, and keep you up to date on the latest developments with the project.
Creating an AMDS compliant SQL Server database
The AMDS project is tasked with developing an Asset Management Data Standard for the New Zealand Infrastructure sector.
In this post we use one of these .sql files from the AMDS releases to create an AMDS compliant database structure in SQL Server. We then dive in to take a look at the asset and lookup tables included out of the box. Finally, if you are used to the RAMM interface, we will see how one of these tables looks in a RAMM environment.
Unpacking the AMDS output files
Do you want some insights into how the New Zealand Asset Management Data Standard (AMDS) is being distributed to the land transport sector?
In this post we will take a look at the AMDS output files to see what is going on. We will be using the "Structures group (bridges, culverts, underpasses) and non-electronic signs" output file as part of our deep dive.
One thing the AMDS needs to get right
The AMDS project is going to create a way for everyone to speak the same language when we talk about land transport assets. In this post we look at one thing the AMDS needs to get right for a successful implementation.
