We just hosted our Samsara Beyond conference in Chicago, which brought together thousands of attendees from nearly two dozen industries across physical operations. It was an exciting two days with lots of great customer conversations, product demos, and learning sessions!

All of our customers have large, complex organisations that are asset heavy and labour intensive. Data and AI-driven insights are helping them solve their unique challenges and changing the way they operate. During our main stage keynote, I shared Samsara’s vision on how the expanding world of data is increasing operational context for our customers. Powered by AI, this is giving our customers insights with expert-level knowledge in real time. 

We announced many new products to bring this vision to life for our customers. This includes the industry’s first enterprise-grade Asset Tag, which tracks and gets data from our customers’ small, high-value assets, to Connected Training and Connected Workflows, which helps make frontline workers’ jobs better and safer. As a bonus, if you’d like to see our new Asset Tag (and our dash cam) getting launched to the edge of space, you can watch this video. It’s pretty incredible to see our planet through our dash cam!

Thank you to all of our customers, partners, analysts, investors, and Samsarians who made Beyond such a success! Let’s operate smarter, together.
