One Feature, One Time.

Eliminate Redundancy in Data Management with the CARIS Hydrographic Production Database (HPD). Using Oracle® or open-source PostgreSQL database, HPD offers an integrated suite of applications, providing for simultaneous data processing and workflows by multiple users. Efficiency is maximized for data storage with features being stored only once, with the ability to create multiple representations for different products.

Manipulate, analyze and compile data using intuitive CARIS tools, and create products with confidence.

Implement the HPD suite of products for production of S-57 and S-101 ENCs, S-57 IENCs, S-57 AMLs, Paper Charts to IHO standards, or the creation and maintenance of non-chart Nautical Publications and Generic Products based on user-defined sets of features. The HPD editors derive products from the source data in the same database. Updates to source are carried automatically to multiple products. Product-specific features and customizations can be made concurrently without affecting the source features.

In support of the new S-100 data standard, users can create S-100 products in HPD. Users can define S-100 feature characteristics using the new complex and multiplicity attribute types, work with information types, assign S-100 portrayal to features, convert ENC to S-101 and work with the expanding registry of S-100 product specifications.

HPD 5.0 and S-100 Composer 5.0 includes support for S-100 Edition 5.2, and support for production of ENCs according to S-101 Edition 2.0.0 (operational version). In addition, HPD 5.0 and S-100 Composer 5.0 has been tested with various S-100 product specifications, including S-122 Marine Protected Areas, S-123 Marine Radio Services, S-127 Marine Traffic Management, S-401 Inland ENC.

Python scripting is a flexible way to put HPD to work in automation workflows and to integrate with third party solutions or to include their own business logic, users can create custom processes written in Python. These processes can be used within CARIS Process Designer to add flexibility in process model design.

CARIS HPD 5.0.7 integrates SevenCs with S-100 Data Management System

This integration enables a streamlined workflow for S-57/S-100 data processing and quality control:

• Process with HPD’s industry-leading production tools
• Validate and Review using SDMS’s advanced quality control and digital signing capabilities
• Automate corrections with a seamless feedback loop; failed data is returned to HPD for correction

This joint solution enhances efficiency, ensures data integrity, and supports compliance with IHO S-57 and S-100 data standards.

The new version comes with significant enhancements and feature expansions, many of which are the direct result of valuable feedback from our user community.

Smart Validation: SDMS shows imported datasets produced with HPD and shows which of them are ready for validation. Image based on S-101 test datasets sourced from UKHO.

Data fixing initiated by SDMS: HPD source editor launches automatically, displaying the dataset, error messages and affected feature geometry.

IHO S-58 Edition 8.0.0 Validation

Validation tools for S-57 ENC Production have been upgraded to support the latest IHO S-58 Edition 8.0.0 ENC Validation Standard (June 2024). This allows producers to be assured that their ENC products pass the new Minimum ENC Validation Checks directly increasing the confidence, reliability and consistency that mariners can place in these products.
