UWB
Large Exhibition Hall Navigation
  • Large venues with multiple halls, entrances, and booths require fast and accurate guidance from entrance to destination.
  • Provides only approximate location information; accuracy decreases in crowded environments, making precise navigation difficult.
  • Requires backend calculation; route updates are slower and nearby booths may be misidentified.
  • ✓ Booth-level positioning accuracy with local smartphone computation; fast route updates enable clear navigation from entrance to booth.
Popular Booth Crowd Guidance
  • Popular booths may create congestion; organizers need real-time crowd awareness and route optimization.
  • Cannot accurately identify crowd distribution, making congestion response delayed.
  • Limited response capability during peak hours, affecting real-time guidance.
  • ✓ Real-time visibility of booth and aisle traffic; supports multiple users simultaneously and guides visitors through optimized routes.
Personalized Exhibition Recommendations
  • Different visitors have different interests and require relevant recommendations instead of mass notifications.
  • Cannot identify specific booth visits or dwell locations, reducing recommendation accuracy.
  • Location data processing is slower, causing delayed recommendations.
  • ✓ Accurately identifies visitor location and dwell time, enabling personalized recommendations without unnecessary interruptions.
Exhibitor ROI Analysis
  • Exhibitors need visitor flow, dwell time, and engagement data to evaluate exhibition effectiveness.
  • Visitor statistics are inaccurate and cannot confirm actual visits or dwell behavior.
  • Data processing and interaction feedback may be delayed.
  • ✓ Provides accurate visitor trajectories, dwell time, and movement paths for detailed post-event analysis and ROI evaluation.

CORE FEATURES

Booth Search & Route Navigation 1

• Help visitors quickly locate exhibition booths, forum venues, dining areas, service facilities, and other destinations.
• Based on UWB high-precision positioning and digital exhibition maps, the system generates optimal routes, dynamically updating paths according to real-time visitor location and crowd conditions, helping visitors reach target locations efficiently while avoiding congestion.

Personalized Recommendations & Smart Guidance 4

• Analyze visitor location, behavior trajectories, dwell patterns, and interest preferences.
• The system dynamically recommends relevant booths, forum activities, and optimal visiting routes, providing personalized guidance to improve visitor experience and engagement.

Visitor Analytics & Heatmaps 6

• Provide exhibitors and operators with real-time statistics on visitor traffic, dwell time, movement paths, and booth-level heatmap data.
• Generate reports to evaluate booth performance, visitor flow, and commercial activity. Insights support exhibition layout optimization, precision marketing, and targeted audience engagement.

Congestion Management & Safety Guidance 1

• Monitor visitor density, movement speed, and high-traffic zones in real time.
• The system automatically triggers alerts and adjusts navigation routes when congestion trends are detected, supporting traffic flow optimization, crowd guidance, and emergency response.

Smart Emergency Evacuation 7

• Continuously monitor personnel locations and corridor conditions using UWB real-time positioning and digital maps.
• During emergencies, the system automatically generates optimal evacuation routes and guides visitors through mobile applications, broadcast systems, and digital displays to ensure safe and orderly evacuation.

Digital Venue & Asset Management 5

• Provide real-time positioning and status management for personnel, equipment, and assets within the exhibition center.
• The platform builds a digital foundation for smart venue operations, enhancing operational visibility, security, and overall management capabilities.
