Modern warehouses are massive (million+ sq ft) and managing movable assets like forklifts, pallet jacks, and diagnostic tools becomes extremely difficult.
Workers spend significant time simply searching for equipment, leading to:
- productivity loss
- idle assets
- congestion
- duplicate purchases
- higher operational cost
Since GPS doesn’t work indoors, traditional tracking solutions fail.
In large logistics centers used by companies like Amazon, Flipkart, and DHL, there is:
❌ No real-time indoor asset visibility ❌ Time wasted locating forklifts/tools ❌ Equipment underutilization ❌ Warehouse congestion ❌ Safety risks
We built an AI-powered Indoor Asset Tracking + Optimization Dashboard that:
✅ tracks assets in real-time ✅ detects idle equipment ✅ shows congestion heatmaps ✅ suggests smart reallocation ✅ provides analytics for managers
👉 Not just tracking — optimization
- live position updates
- indoor compatible (BLE/UWB/RFID simulation)
- instant asset search
- red = congested zones
- green = free zones
- helps traffic planning
- click asset → shortest path highlighted
- helps workers reach faster
Displays:
- active %
- idle %
- busiest zones
- congestion alerts
- idle alerts
- sound notifications
System suggests:
- move assets between zones
- reassign idle forklifts
- reduce crowding
Example: Zone A overloaded → recommend move to Zone C
