The increasing importance of asset management is one of the driving factors for industry growth.
Asset management is a system or process that manages and monitors both intangible and tangible assets. It is a systematic process of operating, developing, maintaining, and disposing of assets to cost-effectively increase the productivity and efficiency of the organization. All the business assets, such as fixed & liquid, are being traced with the help of location intelligence tools. It provides real-time geospatial data, patterns, and correlations between each asset, which can help organizations analyze and amend the utilization of the assets. It saves a lot of time and maintenance costs while increasing the assets’ efficiency & productivity. These factors are expected to increase the demand for location intelligence. The spread of the novel coronavirus in 2021 resulted in the shutting down of production plants across the globe in the first quarter.
It changed the way businesses are conducted worldwide, and the changing scenario has compelled companies across various industries to adopt location intelligence technology. Since the pandemic, key players are focusing on introducing products that can improve service quality. In March 2021, Trimble Inc. launched the Trimble RES 720 GNSS timing module. An embedded timing dual-frequency module offers next-generation networks with 5-nanosecond accuracy. It uses L5 GNSS and L1 signals to provide superior protection against spoofing & jamming and mitigates multi-paths in harsh environments to make them suitable for resilient networks. Adopting location intelligence technologies helps enterprises manage their logistics to avoid delays. Moreover, location analytics can help them map local spending behavior to control demand-side stress by planning strategies based on anticipated demand.
