Municipal asset management program based on ZigBee active electronic tag technology

I. Industry background

With the large number of applications of modern utility equipment in outdoor municipalities, the dilemma of theft prevention and management of outdoor public assets is becoming more and more prominent::

1. ‌High cost of routine inspections: Some outdoor solar streetlights and other roadside facilities in rural or remote areas are difficult to manage due to the remote location and wide distribution of outdoor public assets, and daily inspections require a lot of time and labor costs.
2. ‌Physical and technical defense is difficult: Some outdoor public assets such as ancient ruins and tombs are large in size and have unclear boundaries, making it difficult to manage them in a closed manner through physical precautionary measures such as building fences and pulling barbed wire; at the same time, the installation and normal use of technological defense facilities also require power and network support, and these places are often unable to satisfy these conditions.
3. ‌High risk of theft: Due to the relative weakness of human, physical and technical defense measures, outdoor public assets are vulnerable to theft and excavation, making protection more difficult.

II. Outdoor public asset management pain points

There is a growing demand for IoT digital asset management tags in outdoor municipalities, and most outdoor municipal facilities face the following management pain points:

2.1 Increasing number of high-value municipal assets

With the deployment of new electronic devices in outdoor market facilities, municipal assets are becoming increasingly valuable and need to be managed against theft.

2.2 Increased risk of theft of unattended outdoor assets

Outdoor assets are often located in unguarded fields, roads or public places, where valuable facilities are vulnerable to theft, which can take a long time to be detected, making tracing difficult.

2.3 Stronger demand for wireless deployment of IoT in outdoor facilities

Outdoor power, network environment conditions are difficult, the demand for wireless signal transmission is stronger;.

2.4 High volume and sensitivity to the cost of asset management labels

Municipal assets have large outdoor quantities, and single assets are subject to one-to-one labeling, which is extremely high volume and very sensitive to the cost of labeling;

2.5 Intelligent and visualized supervision is just needed

Supervising a large number of municipal assets, the monitoring side requires visualization, intelligence, and low-intensity maintenance;

Three,The Importance of Electronic Asset Tagging in Municipal Facility Applications

Along with the Internet of things technology and the digital positioning technology development, the active electronic asset label gradually in each kind of municipal facility begins to be applied. Electronic tags play a vital role in such asset inventory, inspection and theft prevention.

• Municipal facilities are outdoors, and loss, damage, and being moved can result in asset accidents.
• Plain nameplate asset identification tags that do not allow for electronic inventory and online monitoring.
• Electronic asset tags enable online patrols and on-site scanning inventories.
• Electronic tags can be used for more Internet of Things applications, such as anti-theft alarms, etc. .
• Low power consumption, low cost, fast deployment of electronic tags is municipal asset management preferred.
