Chartis Technology will present a live webinar on practical spatial editing in Metrix Assets, its SaaS enterprise asset management platform.

According to the company, spatial data quietly shapes everything downstream. For instance, if a polygon is in the wrong place or a line feature is off, condition reports, renewal forecasts and capital works planning all inherit the problem.

This webinar is intended for people such as asset officers, GIS coordinators, and engineers who need clean, reliable geometry, and will cover the following Metrix Assets topics:

• Using the line split tool to handle partial replacements without losing segmentation or financial history;
• Applying automatic spatial themes to surface condition, width, and depth anomalies;
• Linking asset data to spatial properties and working with WKT geometry on import;
• Getting the most out of Metrix and QGIS together; and
• How to view spatial history for auditing purposes.

The session will be presented by Matt Robinson, who leads the Technical and Software Development Teams at Chartis Technology. Robinson’s experience in the field has been developed by working on projects in verticals such as local, state and federal government, mining, utilities and telcos. Prior to joining Chartis Technology, he worked in a range of senior positions at 1Spatial, Lagen Spatial and Bathurst Regional Council.

South Australia’s Spatial Information Day (SID) will be held on Friday, 7 August at the Adelaide Convention Centre.

An annual highlight of the South Australian geospatial community’s calendar, SID brings together experts from the fields of surveying, GIS, remote sensing, photogrammetry and more, for wide-ranging discussions and networking.

The theme for 2026 is ‘Every future starts somewhere: From ground truth to space, shaping what comes next,’ and for 2026 the organisers are hoping to attract around 400 delegates and 40 speakers. This year will also see the introduction of the inaugural South Australian EISSI Awards Dinner.

The call for abstracts and papers is now open, with speakers invited to submit their ideas within a wide span of topics, such as:

• Various spatial disciplines, e.g. GIS, surveying and so on;
• Real-world case studies;
• Insights into innovation techniques and approaches;
• Smart cities and infrastructure;
• Emerging technologies.

A sponsorship prospectus is now available, while tickets for the event are expected to go on sale soon.
