Case Study: Junta de Andalucía optimizes crowd and service management at El Rocío with Galgus WiFi Presence & Location Analytics

Junta de Andalucía monitors El Rocío with 30 Galgus APs

The Junta de Andalucía faced the challenge of managing public and emergency services for the El Rocío pilgrimage, a massive event in Spain that gathers up to a million people. To ensure safety and efficient organization, they needed to accurately monitor crowd capacity and people flows in real-time throughout the village and its main access points. They partnered with vendor Galgus to utilize their WiFi Location & Presence Analytics technology.

Galgus deployed an infrastructure of 30 access points equipped with their patented analytics technology to anonymously track mobile devices. This provided the authorities with a continuously updated dashboard showing real-time analytics, heat maps, and movement patterns. The solution enabled optimized management of services through accurate, real-time crowd monitoring, directly supporting the Romero Plan security and emergency operations.
