What is equipment monitoring?
Equipment monitoring technology is designed to protect and optimize your large and small equipment fleet. Equipment monitoring solutions like Samsara help you:
1. Protect your equipment from theft and misplacement with proactive tools like Find My Asset for unpowered assets and real-time alerts and geofences for powered equipment.

2. Deliver newfound efficiencies across your operation with dormancy and utilization insights, which can help lead to optimal asset utilization and fleet sizing decisions.
3. Consolidate all your assets in a single view to boost productivity across your organization, eliminating extensive yard hunts and streamlining inventory management.
What is an asset management solution?
An asset management software centralized system that allows your organization to track important details about each asset in real-time. As a result, you can protect your assets from theft and misplacement, minimize equipment downtime, enhance operational efficiency, improve utilization, and maximize profitability.
Do asset tracking devices come with Bluetooth?
Samsara’s Powered Asset Gateway and Powered Asset Gateway Plus have Bluetooth functionality to pair with Samsara sensors such as the Door Monitor, Cargo Monitor, and Environmental Monitor.
What are the benefits of an asset tracking solution?
There are many benefits to an asset tracking system, including:
Protect assets from theft or misuse: When equipment thefts occur, a cloud-based asset tracking system enables you to quickly locate your equipment and share real-time GPS information with authorities to investigate incidents—streamlining theft recovery and improving cost savings.Â
Optimize asset operation and utilization: With a cloud-based asset management system, you can improve equipment utilization by quickly identifying assets that are unused or dormant for long periods of time. With a cloud-based asset tracking solution, underutilized assets can be rightsized, moved to higher demand sites, or consolidated—reducing downtime and maximizing resources.

Boost productivity and service: By consolidating your data to the cloud, you can manage your physical assets from a single view—reduce time-consuming yard hunts or manual work to locate assets.
What is an asset tag?
The Samsara Asset tag is a small, ruggedized device the size of a candy bar that helps organizations track their small equipment—enabling them to prevent theft and loss of small physical assets, reduce downtime, and streamline inventory management.
By leveraging the Samsara Network—a Bluetooth-powered network that consists of data from our extensive number of Vehicle and Asset Gateways that use the Samsara platform—organizations can improve operational efficiency and minimize costs.
What kinds of small assets can be tracked?
The Asset Tag can track any small, mission-critical asset including, but not limited to:
Toolboxes, containers, lawn mowers, generators, pumps, fiber spools, bins, porta potties, skip loaders, chainsaws, and much more.
What are the benefits of an asset tag solution?
There are many benefits to an asset tag solution, including:
Reduce equipment downtime and job disruption: Ensure that front-line workers are productive and efficient when they’re working in job sites by providing them with the tools they need to execute important operational tasks. By tracking job-critical assets, organizations can avoid delays and revenue loss.
Mitigate theft and recover valuable assets: With a small, discreet, ruggedized tag, organizations can minimize small equipment theft, reduce resources spent on yard hunts, and decrease the overall time spent locating equipment in the field.
Simplify inventory management and audits: Using real-time data, easily account for asset inventory, ensure appropriate write-offs or buying decisions are made, and streamline equipment audits.
