FAQs
Asset tracking systems use wireless tracking devices and sensors, connectivity, and a management platform to monitor the machines and assets enterprises use in their business operations. Data gathered through tracking assets can provide you with the visibility and insights you need to create business improvements.
Assets across industries can be tracked. If you transport valuable assets where the stakes are high—say, in food safety—and you need to monitor conditions each step of the way, asset tracking is essential. Tracking devices measure things like GPS location, temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, light detection, tilt, vibration and shock.
Many industries can benefit from asset tracking, such as the food industry; manufacturers that ship precision-made machine parts, raw materials or partially finished/fully finished goods; and pharmaceutical companies that need to ship their products.
For example, if a pharmaceutical company is shipping 30 pallets of its products to a distribution center, it can use asset tracking sensors to monitor the location and temperature of a shipment at each step during transit. The company also creates a geofence to determine when a shipment leaves the source location and when it reaches its destination. If the assets’ conditions change, the company receives a near real-time notification, so it can address the issue. As the shipment travels, asset tracking allows the company to keep tabs on the shipment’s location and conditions until it arrives at its destination.
