Unicorn Systems HSI at the Esri GIS Conference in the Czech Republic
6.11.2026 | Reading time: 6 minutes
The Esri GIS Conference in the Czech Republic is one of the most important professional events for the Czech geospatial community. This year's edition once again highlighted the vital role that geographic information systems play in infrastructure management, data handling and effective decision-making.
For Unicorn Systems HSI, the conference was above all an opportunity to demonstrate how our solutions work in real-world operations and the value they bring to our customers. As part of the professional programme, we delivered two joint presentations, offering practical insights into the use of the ArcGIS platform in the water management and industrial infrastructure sectors.
The Water Supply Network as a Living System
Michal Hamouz from Unicorn Systems HSI, together with representatives of Prague Water Supply and Sewerage Company (PVK), presented the topic “The Water Supply Network as a Living System.” The presentation demonstrated how geospatial technologies can support the effective management of water supply infrastructure and highlighted the importance of viewing the water supply network as an interconnected whole, where data, operational processes and day-to-day decision-making are closely linked.
Monitoring Dry Fire Water Mains and Above-Ground Fire Hydrants with ArcGIS
The second presentation focused on the practical use of the ArcGIS platform in an industrial environment. Jan Langr, together with ORLEN Unipetrol, presented “Monitoring Dry Fire Water Mains and Above-Ground Fire Hydrants Using the ArcGIS Platform.” The presentation explored the possibilities of digital monitoring of critical infrastructure components and demonstrated how modern GIS tools can provide better insight into the technical condition of equipment and support its management.
Both presentations attracted considerable interest from the audience and confirmed that combining professional expertise, modern technologies and customer experience delivers tangible results.
Face-to-Face Meetings
Our participation also included a company stand, where we welcomed visitors from the professional community, customers and business partners throughout the conference. These face-to-face meetings gave us an opportunity to discuss current market needs, share experiences and showcase the capabilities of our geospatial solutions. It is precisely the combination of professional presentations and personal interactions that creates opportunities for new ideas, inspiration and further development of cooperation.
“This year's Esri GIS Conference was a great opportunity for us to demonstrate that geoinformatics is about much more than just maps and data. Above all, it is about how we can use them to manage infrastructure more effectively, prevent problems and support critical operational decision-making. We greatly appreciate the opportunity to present alongside our customers and showcase the tangible results of our collaboration. Thank you to everyone who stopped by our stand, attended our presentations or shared their experiences and insights with us. My sincere thanks also go to the entire Unicorn Systems HSI geoinformatics team for their excellent preparation, dedication and outstanding representation of our company.”
Michal Hamouz, Geoinformatics Business Manager
