Delivering powerful real-time capabilities in ArcGIS
ArcGIS Velocity delivers enterprise‑scale real-time analysis software and IoT spatial capabilities that power living digital twins with continuous visibility into assets and operations.
DATA INTEGRATION
Real-time data ingestion into ArcGIS
Manage streams of continuously flowing data to enable immediate visualization and data analysis. Configure feeds to connect to live data sources and view them as layers in maps and dashboards, helping teams build a shared operational view.
- Connect to cloud IoT platforms, sensor APIs, and messaging brokers; use preconfigured data provider integrations to simplify connections
- Integrate with open-source and external technologies
- Use feeds to easily connect to industry-leading real‑time data providers
REAL-TIME ANALYTICS
Real-time asset tracking and monitoring at scale
Evaluate every event as it arrives using spatial, temporal, and attribute‑based conditions. Velocity provides a specialized collection of tools that enable real-time discovery and focus on events of interest.
- Detect geofence entries, exits, and proximity events
- Calculate motion, patterns, and asset utilization in real time
- Identify anomalies and incidents as they occur
ALERTS AND ACTIONS
Rule-based, automated event detection
Replace manual monitoring with automated alerts that scale across hundreds or thousands of assets and continuous data streams. ArcGIS Velocity enables notifications and actions that trigger the moment defined conditions are met, helping teams track assets and respond faster when situations change.
- Use real-time spatial and attribute rules to send notifications through channels personnel already use, such as email, SMS, Microsoft Teams, or Slack
- Drive automated actions from analytics results, including work orders, system updates, and integrations with enterprise and messaging systems
DATA MANAGEMENT AND COLLABORATION
Enterprise data layers, streams, and services
Publish results as live layers, map image layers, or streams that can be reused across ArcGIS. Integrate them into enterprise systems to support operational digital twins that reflect current conditions.
- Visualize high‑volume geospatial data using dynamic aggregation
- Write outputs to stream layers, interactive maps, dashboards, and web applications to share across teams

Frequently asked questions
ArcGIS Velocity is a real-time data integration and analytics capability that enables organizations to ingest, analyze, and act on streaming geospatial data as events occur. It ingests sensor, asset, and other changing data sources and applies continuous analysis to identify patterns, anomalies, and conditions of interest.
Velocity functions as a real-time analysis software and real-time mapping software solution, enriching spatial data to provide updated data layers and automated alerts to improve situational awareness and decision-making the moment something happens. Operating at scale in ArcGIS Online or ArcGIS Enterprise, it integrates with the ArcGIS platform, powering operational digital twins that deliver continuous real-time visibility of assets, while helping you anticipate risk, improve efficiency, and enhance safety.
Organizations rely on Velocity for real-time asset tracking, real-time asset monitoring, situational awareness, and IoT spatial analysis across industries such as transportation, utilities, smart cities, and public safety.
With ArcGIS Velocity, you can:
- Ingest feeds from nearly any data source
- Analyze every event the moment it happens
- Act and make decisions based on up-to-date information
This allows you to detect incidents, trigger alerts, and publish live layers powering dashboards and maps.
ArcGIS Velocity is the next generation of real‑time GIS in the ArcGIS system. While GeoEvent Server provided the foundation for real‑time event processing, it was built for administrators and developers.
Velocity advances this with a modern, intuitive experience that supports emerging workflows, scalable cloud execution, and more flexible real‑time data analytics—aligning with today’s needs for real-time analysis software.
Both support real-time asset tracking workflows, enterprise integration, and hybrid deployment patterns. But there are key differences between the two:
ArcGIS Velocity for ArcGIS Online
- Is fully managed by Esri; no infrastructure required
- Gives you access to cloud‑native, real-time mapping software capabilities
- Includes big data analysis tools
ArcGIS Velocity for ArcGIS Enterprise
- Is self‑hosted within your organization’s environment
- Is ideal for restricted networks, private cloud, or on‑premises requirements
- Supports real‑time ingestion and analytics but doesn’t include big data analysis tools
