Asset Visibility

•  Location of parts and toolkits in manufacturing facilities •  Location of medical equipment and patients in hospitals •  Location of vehicles in distribution centers and yards

•  Temperature monitoring of hospital refrigerators/freezers •  Cold chain monitoring •  In motion or not in motion

•  Requires maintenance/cleaning •  Operational status (i.e. available, in use) •  Requires assistance

•  Did it arrive at its destination? •  Does the amount of assets meet par level?

Lack of visibility of critical assets is a problem with substantial business impact
