What is equipment monitoring?
Equipment monitoring technology is designed to protect and optimise 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 newly found efficiencies across your operation with dormancy and utilisation insights, which can help lead to optimal asset utilisation and fleet-sizing decisions.
3. Consolidate all your assets in a single view to boost productivity across your organisation, eliminating extensive yard hunts and streamlining inventory management.
What is an asset management solution?
An asset management solution or software is a centralised system that allows your organisation to track important details about each asset in real time. As a result, you can protect your assets from theft and misplacement, minimise equipment downtime, enhance operational efficiency, improve utilisation and maximise 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
Optimise asset operation and utilisation: With a cloud-based asset management system, you can improve equipment utilisation by quickly identifying assets that are unused or dormant for long periods of time. With a cloud-based asset tracking solution, underutilised assets can be rightsized, moved to higher demand sites or consolidated, reducing downtime and maximising 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, ruggedised device the size of a chocolate bar that helps organisations track their small equipment, thus 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 – organisations can improve operational efficiency and minimise 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, lawnmowers, generators, pumps, fibre spools, bins, portable toilets, skip loaders, chainsaws and much more.
What are the benefits of an asset tag solution?
There are many benefits associated with 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, organisations can avoid delays and revenue loss.
Mitigate theft and recover valuable assets: With a small, discreet, ruggedised tag, organisations can minimise 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 that appropriate write-offs or buying decisions are made and streamline equipment audits.
