Exhibition main contractor, Exhibit 3Sixty, has introduced ‘Grid Live’, a new web-based stand electrics tracking tool.
The platform provides a live view of the power status of every block and stand on the show floor, helping to speed up fault finding, reduce delays, and improve efficiency by streamlining communications between the service desk and electricians during build-up and handover.
The system uses a traffic light interface to indicate each stand’s status: red highlights any known issues, amber indicates that stand equipment is installed and ready for testing, and green indicates that the stand has been tested and switched on. Because it’s browser-based, it can be checked from any internet-connected device.
Sam Pearce, Commercial Manager at Exhibit 3Sixty, said: “A system that ran invisibly behind the scenes was an important step that allowed us to service exhibitors quickly and accurately. We also wanted to develop a system that would make the setup process smoother for our electricians.
So, to hear their positive feedback after the show cemented that we’re heading in the right direction.”
