Asset tracking

Using connected devices to know where valuable items (containers, tools, vehicles, pallets) are and in what condition.

Trackers combine location (GPS, cellular or Wi-Fi positioning, BLE) with sensors such as temperature or shock.

Why it matters for business

Tracking reduces loss and theft, proves condition for quality claims and improves utilisation, so fewer assets are needed.
