BLE asset tracking for US stadiums, campuses and warehouses

US venues move a lot of portable kit in a short time: radios, medical and safety kits, cleaning carts, ticket scanners, portable POS, barricades and the crews that go with them. Convention centers add show freight, AV equipment and pallet jacks moving from the loading dock to the halls. BLE tags on that equipment and gateways in the concourses, halls and back-of-house corridors let your RTLS platform report where everything is; Spatial Map puts it on the venue map next to turnstile scans, crowd counters and room occupancy.

Airports and large venues also lend out wheelchairs to guests who need them. Tagging loan wheelchairs and showing which gate area or concourse they were last seen in helps staff send the nearest one instead of searching the building. The Silverbay Airport demo tracks loan wheelchairs this way, and Lakeside Convention Center shows staff and equipment by hall.

On a corporate campus, BLE pays off for shared and loan equipment — laptops, AV carts, projectors, spares — across many floors and buildings, and for the facilities team that has to find it before an audit or a move. Universities add research labs, where instruments are expensive and calibration matters, and teaching labs where equipment is shared between groups. Spatial Map shows tagged assets room by room, with your own check-in/check-out or calibration data in the tooltip and detail drawer.

See Harborview Campus for a three-floor corporate office and Westbrook University for a science building with labs and instruments.

In US distribution centers, BLE and other RTLS tags usually go on forklifts, reach trucks and carts first. Seeing which aisle or zone each vehicle is in, which ones are parked at charging and which have been idle helps supervisors balance a shift. Spatial Map shows the positions or zones your RTLS reports as live markers on the warehouse map, and the History player replays a shift from row history.

Spatial Map does not compute positions from signal strength. Your BLE gateways’ software or RTLS engine works out the zone or coordinates, then posts rows to a Spatial Map table with the table write API or exposes a REST endpoint that Spatial Map polls. A gateway reporting a zone name that matches a room or area on the map puts the tag in that room; coordinates become a live marker. Spatial Map does not send notifications — it shows state on the map and in reports, and style rules color stale or low-battery tags. If you track staff badges, check your own privacy policies and applicable state laws first, and collect only what you need.
