Enabling Smart Asset Visibility for Expo City with Syncra’s BLE-Based RTLS

Expo City partnered with Syncra when managing assets across a large-scale smart city environment became difficult. Such tasks demand precision, speed and continuous visibility. Syncra aimed to overcome these challenges leading to asset tracking and utilization. By implementing a BLE-based RTLS asset tracking solution asset loss and downtime were reduced and a real time monitoring of high-value movable assets was facilitated. Data-driven asset management was introduced across the infrastructure landscape. Expo city strengthened its operational control by making use of Syncra’s advanced asset-tracking capabilities. Hence the long-term goals of smart and sustainable urban management was easily met.

Key challenges faced included:-

The expo city had a large and dynamic environment. Hence high-value mobile assets were difficult to track. Due to the lack of a real-time asset location and status the visibility of the inventory was low. Assets became frequently lost due to untracked movement and misplacement. With a lack of usage data several assets remained underused. The operational timelines were heavily impacted due to the delayed asset retrieval. Planning remained reactive for a long time without a proper view of the asset movement and utilizations. Instead of focusing on execution that lead to high-value outcomes teams spend their time searching for equipment. Expo City needed a solution that could support smart city operations without disturbing the existing workflows. This is where Syncra came in providing a real-time asset tracking solution.

The Solution:- Syncra’s BLE-Based Asset Tracking Implementation

With a focus on the operational scale and complexity of Expo City Syncra implemented a BLE-based RTLS asset tracking solution. These Bluetooth low-energy tags were attached to high-value assets. With minimal power consumption and infrastructure impact continuous tracking was facilitated throughout the premises. Now teams were able to instantly locate equipment across defined zones. As the solution provided a real-time visibility into asset movement they were able to understand how assets were being used. Syncra’s platform aimed for easy monitoring and control by centralizing all asset data into a single and innovative dashboard.

Key RTLS features implemented included:-

Real-time asset location tracking was facilitated across the smart city premise. Usage patterns and idle times were correctly monitored with the asset utilization analytics. Geo-fencing was used along with movement alerts to get to know of unexpected or unauthorized asset movement. For a unified visibility a centralized asset management dashboard was used. Automated alerts notify teams of unusual moments while geo-fencing makes sure assets remain within the approved zones. Additionally Utilization Analytics enables better allocation and planning to identify the underused assets. Such capabilities provided by Syncra’s RTLS platforms eliminated blind spots in asset tracking. Syncra’s RTLS ecosystem integrate people tracking and inventory tracking alongwith asset tracking in the workflow. It aims for smart city operations with its implementation aligning seamlessly.

The Impact:- Smarter Asset Control and Operational Confidence

Syncra’s BLE Asset Tracking Solution locates assets to reduce downtime and eliminate delays. Upon implementation Expo City achieved complete and real-time visibility of asset locations across infrastructures. The data that teams gained from the asset utilization analytics gave them insight on how frequently assets are used and where inefficiencies exist. Through this asset utilization improved significantly with smarter planning and better scheduling around asset deployment. Authorities are now able to make much more informed decisions based on these metrics. Asset loss was reduced with geo-fencing and movement alerts. Operational planning became more predictable and efficient. Centralized visibility also improved the coordination across diverse teams. Resources were freed and operational friction reduced when manual tracking moved to automated ones. Teams get to operate with clarity and confidence as Syncra’s solutions provide the information on where assets are and how they are being used at any moment.

Measurable Outcomes:- Faster Recovery and Better Asset Lifecycle Management for Expo City

The results delivered from the Syncra’s RTLS solution implementation were all measurable and impactful. Faster asset recovery times were recorded with the delays being reduced significantly. There wasn’t any more misplaced or untracked equipment. Less time was spent searching for assets and more time executing the critical tasks through which operational efficiency improved. The continuous utilization insights led the asset lifecycle management to be improved. Assumptions were replaced by data-driven decisions which helped the lifespan of the asset to be extended and return on investment to be maximized. The implementation of real-time visibility, automated alerts and centralized control were some of the catalysts when it came to operational efficiency. The RTLS foundation powered by Syncra made Expo City capable of supporting smart city initiatives that came in the future. Assets, people and inventory tracking played an influential role in this. Syncra’s BLE-based RTLS solution aligned with the evolving demands of smart infrastructure that Expo City needs. It transformed asset management into a real-time intelligent and resilient system that focuses on the long-term success of the project.
