Track trade show booths, demo kiosks, Pelican cases, and AV equipment across shows and freight shipments. AirPinpoint gives exhibit teams a single dashboard to monitor every case from warehouse to convention floor and back.

• Trade show freight is a billion-dollar loss problem. Exhibits get lost between warehouse, carrier, and convention center every week.
• Convention centers are packed with iPhones, making AirTag coverage inside venues exceptionally strong for tracking demo kiosks and Pelican cases
• Multi-show logistics (CES to MWC to ConExpo) mean your equipment is on the road more than it's in your warehouse. Know where every case is, always.

Compare trailer tracking devices—hardwired, battery, solar, and AirTag options—plus real-world gotchas.

• Hardwired vs battery vs solar device tradeoffs
• Battery life tied to update frequency
• GPS signal limits in metal trailers

Track your vending machine fleet with GPS. Prevent theft of $3,000-$8,000 machines, verify placements for venue owners, and optimize service routes. AirTag-based tracking from $11.99/mo per machine.

• 12% of vending machines experience theft or vandalism annually, costing $500+ per incident
• Geofence alerts notify you instantly if a machine moves from its placement location
• Location history provides proof of placement for venue owners and commission disputes

Welding contractors lose 3-8% of portable equipment annually moving between refinery turnarounds and construction sites. Track welders, pipe cutting saws, and electro-fusion machines with AirPinpoint.

• Welding contractors lose 3-8% of portable equipment annually as machines move between refinery turnarounds, plant shutdowns, and construction sites
• A single stolen Miller Maxstar 210 ($2,500) or Lincoln Ranger 305G ($10,300) costs more than a year of tracking your entire fleet
• Equipment moves between sites every 30-60 days during turnaround season, and paper-based checkout systems can't keep up

Track wine barrels, cases, and cellar equipment with AirTag-based inventory management. No infrastructure required. Works in barrel rooms and caves via Apple's Find My network.

• A French oak barrel costs $850-$3,600. A mid-size winery holds 2,000+ barrels. That is $1.7M-$7.2M sitting in a dark cave with a chalk mark for ID.
• Wine evaporates at 2-5% per year during barrel aging. Without tracking, wineries cannot distinguish between normal angel's share and actual loss.
• 64% of wineries manage over 5,000 inventory units annually, yet many still track barrels with handwritten chalk marks and spreadsheets
