The core goals of asset tracking include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Confirming each asset\u2019s location<\/li>\n<li>Maximizing efficiency and lifespan<\/li>\n<li>Reducing unplanned downtime and associated costs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In industries like manufacturing or construction, the need for robust asset tracking is especially pronounced. Machinery and vehicles are not only expensive to replace but also essential for day-to-day operations. By maintaining updated records of every asset\u2019s status and whereabouts, you can prevent theft, optimize maintenance schedules, and boost operational productivity.<\/p>\n<h3>Assets vs. inventory<\/h3>\n<p>While the terms \u201casset inventory management,\u201d \u201casset management,\u201d and \u201casset tracking\u201d sometimes overlap, it\u2019s important to understand the difference between <strong>assets<\/strong> and <strong>inventory<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Assets:<\/strong> These are the tools, equipment, and infrastructure critical to running your business. In construction, for instance, a backhoe or crane is an asset.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Inventory:<\/strong> A broader term that typically refers to all cataloged items used by your organization. Your inventory might include everything from spare parts and components (e.g., tires, bolts) to finalized products stored in a warehouse.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In practice, organizations often manage both inventory and assets simultaneously, but they may use different processes and systems depending on whether the aim is to track item usage, maintenance schedules, or availability for sale.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row kd_background_image_position=&#8221;vc_row-bg-position-top&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1687442797424{margin-top: 40px !important;}&#8221; el_class=&#8221;limble-page-blog-width&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_76 counter-flat ez-toc-counter ez-toc-custom ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/limblecmms.com\/learn\/definitions\/asset-tracking\/#Everything_you_ever_needed_to_know_about_asset_tracking\" >Everything you ever needed to know about asset tracking.<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/limblecmms.com\/learn\/definitions\/asset-tracking\/#What_is_asset_tracking\" >What is asset tracking?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/limblecmms.com\/learn\/definitions\/asset-tracking\/#Why_is_asset_tracking_important\" >Why is asset tracking important?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/limblecmms.com\/learn\/definitions\/asset-tracking\/#How_does_asset_tracking_work\" >How does asset tracking work?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/limblecmms.com\/learn\/definitions\/asset-tracking\/#Maintenance_Inventory_Tracking_Template\" >Maintenance Inventory Tracking Template<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/limblecmms.com\/learn\/definitions\/asset-tracking\/#Types_of_asset_tracking_systems\" >Types of asset tracking systems<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-7\" href=\"https:\/\/limblecmms.com\/learn\/definitions\/asset-tracking\/#Best_asset_tracking_software_solutions\" >Best asset tracking software solutions<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-8\" href=\"https:\/\/limblecmms.com\/learn\/definitions\/asset-tracking\/#Core_features_any_asset_tracking_software_should_have\" >Core features any asset tracking software should have<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-9\" href=\"https:\/\/limblecmms.com\/learn\/definitions\/asset-tracking\/#Industry_use_cases_for_asset_tracking\" >Industry use cases for asset tracking<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-10\" href=\"https:\/\/limblecmms.com\/learn\/definitions\/asset-tracking\/#Best_practices_for_asset_tracking\" >Best practices for asset tracking<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-11\" href=\"https:\/\/limblecmms.com\/learn\/definitions\/asset-tracking\/#Why_is_Limble_the_best_asset_management_software_for_you\" >Why is Limble the best asset management software for you?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-12\" href=\"https:\/\/limblecmms.com\/learn\/definitions\/asset-tracking\/#Asset_tracking_FAQs\" >Asset tracking FAQs<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-13\" href=\"https:\/\/limblecmms.com\/learn\/definitions\/asset-tracking\/#Related_Content\" >Related Content<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row kd_background_image_position=&#8221;vc_row-bg-position-top&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1687440273251{margin-top: 40px !important;}&#8221; el_class=&#8221;limble-page-blog-width&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_is_asset_tracking_important\"><\/span>Why is asset tracking important?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Whatever tools your organization uses to track assets and however maintenance work is <a href=\"https:\/\/limblecmms.com\/blog\/understanding-maintenance-plans\/\">planned <\/a>and <a href=\"https:\/\/limblecmms.com\/maintenance-definitions\/scheduled-maintenance\/\">scheduled<\/a>, a formal system for asset tracking pays off. While there are some upfront costs to invest in implementing asset management software for tracking, organizations with even a small portfolio of assets can earn big returns. Here are just some of the benefits of asset tracking:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Cost savings<\/strong>: Tracking each asset\u2019s health and performance in real-time provides useful insights for <a href=\"https:\/\/limblecmms.com\/maintenance-definitions\/proactive-maintenance\/\">proactively scheduling maintenance tasks<\/a>, identifying over- or under-utilized assets, and making data-driven \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/limblecmms.com\/blog\/repair-or-replace-analysis\/\">repair vs. replace<\/a>\u201d decisions.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/limblecmms.com\/solutions\/compliance\/\"><strong>Regulatory compliance<\/strong><\/a>: The data collected and recorded by asset tracking devices streamline documentation, making condition readings and notifications automatic and less prone to human error.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Improved productivity<\/strong>: Increased visibility into asset location and performance <a href=\"https:\/\/limblecmms.com\/maintenance-definitions\/downtime\/\">reduces downtime<\/a> by making it easier to find assets and proactively plan maintenance work.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Extended asset lifespans<\/strong>: When organizations introduce formal asset tracking systems they help ensure critical equipment remains <a href=\"https:\/\/limblecmms.com\/blog\/how-to-increase-asset-availability\/\">available<\/a> and productive as long as possible.<\/li>\n<li><strong>More secure worksites and facilities<\/strong>: Heavy equipment is highly valuable and its price tag can make it a target for theft. Adding assets to tracking systems make it easy to keep an eye on them at all times and ensure they\u2019re only used by authorized personnel following the appropriate <a href=\"https:\/\/limblecmms.com\/blog\/common-safety-procedures\/\">safety protocols<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"process\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_does_asset_tracking_work\"><\/span>How does asset tracking work?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>While they may seem simple, asset tracking systems rely on a range of technologies in order to monitor and provide access to detailed information on equipment. It is a combination of asset trackers, identification tags, networks, and sensors that work together to provide a seamless tracking experience. Here is a run-down:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Barcodes and QR codes<\/strong>: A standard component of asset management systems, bar codes and QR codes placed on assets make it easy to access data with barcode scanners. QR codes are often preferable to bar codes because employees can scan them from any angle with their mobile devices. They can also include more data than bar codes. <a href=\"https:\/\/limblecmms.com\/integrations\/\">Integrating asset tracking systems<\/a> with other platforms ensures that barcode scanning uploads data to an accessible, central repository.<\/li>\n<li><strong>RFID tags<\/strong>: Radio-frequency identification tags offer another way of tracking business assets. One benefit of RFID tagging is that users don\u2019t need to scan the device to monitor their assets. You can monitor these tags and the assets they\u2019re attached to so long as you have the appropriate tracking device.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Low-power wide-area networks (LPWAN)<\/strong>: LPWANs offer an option for tracking assets and transmitting data over longer distances while using less power. While LPWANs are a network rather than an actual device, they enable IoT devices to connect a high volume of assets over a larger area.<\/li>\n<li><strong>GPS asset tracking: <\/strong>These devices transmit location and other asset data over satellites, connecting assets all over the world with high accuracy.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bluetooth asset tracking<\/strong>: Asset tracking devices powered by Bluetooth technology emit signals on a recurring basis and sync with other Bluetooth-enabled devices. Users can monitor these assets from apps on their mobile devices.<\/li>\n<li><strong>IoT technology: <\/strong>This technology uses sensors to collect and transmit data on assets wirelessly to a central repository or database.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row content_placement=&#8221;middle&#8221; kd_background_image_position=&#8221;vc_row-bg-position-bottom&#8221; kd_top_separator_style=&#8221;arrow-down&#8221; kd_top_separator_height=&#8221;separator-height-small&#8221; kd_bottom_separator_style=&#8221;arrow-down&#8221; kd_bottom_separator_height=&#8221;separator-height-small&#8221; kd_top_separator=&#8221;true&#8221; kd_bottom_separator=&#8221;true&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1682969165097{margin-bottom: 40px !important;padding-top: 60px !important;padding-bottom: 40px !important;background: #dde4e8 url(https:\/\/limblecmms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/cta-laired-hex-4.webp?id=9077) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;border-radius: 0px !important;}&#8221; css_tablet_landscape=&#8221;.vc_custom_1682969165097{padding-bottom: 80px !important;}&#8221; css_tablet_portrait=&#8221;.vc_custom_1682969165098{padding-bottom: 80px !important;}&#8221; css_mobile=&#8221;.vc_custom_1682969165098{padding-bottom: 80px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column][vc_row_inner content_placement=&#8221;middle&#8221; gap=&#8221;15&#8243; kd_background_image_position=&#8221;vc_row-bg-position-top&#8221;][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;]<header class=\"kd-section-title col-lg-12 text-left  subtitle-below-title kd-animated fadeIn   vc_custom_1682969180220\" data-animation-delay=200><h2 class=\"separator_off\" style=\"font-size: 42px;font-weight: 500;margin-bottom:30px;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Maintenance_Inventory_Tracking_Template\"><\/span>Maintenance Inventory Tracking Template<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><h6 class=\"subtitle\" style=\"color: #152232;\">Begin tracking your maintenance and parts inventory with this free and easy-to-use template.<\/h6><\/header>[\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_raw_html]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[\/vc_raw_html][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row kd_background_image_position=&#8221;vc_row-bg-position-top&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1687440273251{margin-top: 40px !important;}&#8221; el_class=&#8221;limble-page-blog-width&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Types_of_asset_tracking_systems\"><\/span>Types of asset tracking systems<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3>1.

By using RFID, barcodes, or GPS, hospitals can track the location, usage, stock, and maintenance status of assets in real-time, ensuring critical equipment and supplies are available when needed.<\/p>\n<p>Asset tracking also supports <a href=\"https:\/\/limblecmms.com\/solutions\/compliance\/\">compliance programs<\/a> in this highly regulated industry by maintaining inspection and certification records in a central location, and triggering notifications and alerts when inspections are due.\u00a0 Overall, it improves operational efficiency and patient care quality.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Best_practices_for_asset_tracking\"><\/span>Best practices for asset tracking<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Asset tracking may seem as simple as sticking a <a href=\"https:\/\/limblecmms.com\/blog\/using-barcodes-with-your-cmms-label-considerations-for-limble-users\/\">barcode<\/a> on an asset and typing in a few equipment details, never to return to the asset record again. However, to get the most benefit out of it, asset tracking should be rolled out carefully and the processes involved consistently reviewed and updated.\u00a0 Here are a few best practices that will help you get it right:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Introduce unique tags for each asset. <\/strong>Ensuring a unique <a href=\"https:\/\/limblecmms.com\/blog\/asset-naming-convention\/\">name for each asset<\/a> will make identification easier and less error-prone.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Perform regular internal audits:<\/strong> Stop and review the information in your asset record to ensure documentation is flowing through as intended.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Prioritize data integrity and accuracy: <\/strong>Spend the time to train your team on data entry and the importance of accuracy in order to ensure any reports or trends reflect reality.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Consider the entire <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/limblecmms.com\/maintenance-definitions\/asset-lifecycle-management\/\"><strong>lifecycle<\/strong><\/a><strong>: <\/strong>Assign a tag and document the necessary asset information immediately upon acquisition, all the way through decommissioning to ensure all stages of the lifecycle are tracked.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Choose tools and technologies carefully: <\/strong>Thoroughly research and trial each tool and asset tracking technology you are considering to ensure it meets your organization\u2019s needs and unique assets.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row_content&#8221; content_placement=&#8221;top&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;fadeInDown&#8221; kd_background_image_position=&#8221;vc_row-bg-position-bottom&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1691073586371{margin-top: 50px !important;margin-bottom: 20px !important;padding-top: 50px !important;padding-bottom: 50px !important;background-color: #f1f6f8 !important;background-position: 0 0 !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;}&#8221;][vc_column css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1691073594574{padding-right: 70px !important;padding-left: 70px !important;}&#8221;]<div class=\"kd-calltoaction\" >\n                <div class=\"container\">\n                  <div class=\"cta-text-container kd-animated fadeIn\" data-animation-delay=\"200\"><div class=\"cta-text\"><h3 >Want to see Limble in action?
