7Cs’ S-101 Writer for FME is a new plug-in developed by SevenCs, for processing geo-spatial data by using the Feature Manipulation Engine (FME) from Safe Software Inc.
The plug-in combines with FME, in enabling customers to take geo-spatial data in a variety of formats or databases and integrate it into new-generation ENCs that comply with IHO S-101. This includes S-57 to S-101 conversion.
Fast data access and great performance are assured, with Nautilus, the integrated SevenCs’ S-100 kernel, serving as the technological backbone of the S-101 Writer.
SevenCs developed the S-101 Writer in close cooperation with Safe Software Inc. and its German partner, con terra GmbH.
