Samsara Inc., created its latest-generation Asset Tag and all-new Asset Tag XS to help operations and fleet equipment managers track and recover high-value assets of all sizes. Powered by the expanded Samsara Network, the new tags are equipped with an AI-powered theft and loss workflow to help contractors proactively identify, investigate, and recover mission-critical assets in record time.
“Since we started using the Asset Tags, our recovery rate on thefts of everything from $1,000 gas-powered saws to $2.8 million heavy machinery is 100 percent,” said Rich Poppoff, equipment superintendent, DeSilva Gates. “I didn’t think the devices could be better than they were, but the enhanced features on the Asset Tags, like the even more precise find nearby capabilities, make finding assets in congested areas even simpler.”
The strongest operations network just got better
Over the last two years, Samsara’s Network has doubled in density, reinforcing its position as the industry’s leading industrial-grade Bluetooth network. This expansive mesh network leverages millions of Samsara-connected devices that travel on 99 percent of major U.S. roads. By using industrial-grade Bluetooth signals to continuously ‘listen’ for Asset Tags, a single Asset Tag can be detected in real time.
To provide an even more comprehensive view, Samsara has integrated Hubble’s terrestrial network, comprising 90M consumer smartphones. This integration builds on Samsara’s presence on roads, at job sites, and in residential areas by extending visibility into buildings.
“The integration with Hubble complements Samsara’s existing network,” said David Gal, vice president of Connected Equipment at Samsara. “The Samsara Network leverages millions of gateways on assets from construction sites to highways to garbage trucks, while Hubble’s network uses primarily consumer smartphones, ensuring no lost or stolen asset can hide, even inside buildings. The best network in the business just got better, delivering unprecedented asset visibility.”
