The system shows the map image of the asset with each detail updated in it. The monitoring system gives a live update about all the assets of the organisation.
Working of Remote Asset Tracking System
- The working of the system is very simple to analyse and use. The device is installed in the asset which has to be monitored. It is then connected to the host server; it can be Personal Computer or any hand held devices. The tracking process starts when the asset starts moving towards the desired location. The GPS system commences to communicate with the web based server system delivering the accurate details.
- In case of the fixed asset the GPS tracking system monitors and gives the details about the status of equipment on the engine condition, the running hours of the machine, the fuel or electricity flow in the machines to the host server to have a complete knowledge about the asset. The maintenance of both fixed and dynamic asset is important for organisation.
- The information is sent through GPS system is connected through various satellites giving the complete geographical information about the asset. It is stored in cloud for easy accessing.
Importance of Remote Asset Tracking System
Operational Cost
The GPS enabled remote asset maintenance reduces the overall cost of asset maintenance. The fuel stands at the top of the operational cost in every organisation. This system provides a better solution to reduce the operational cost on the assets. This is done by tracking the location of the asset and giving better routes to reduce the distance and optimize the delivery timing of the products. This process helps to promote the business value.
Asset Utilization
The GPS tracking on remote asset monitors how long the asset is in active and idle state. Based on the information gathered the asset utilization can be increased to promote business value. It also provides the information regarding the unused assets so as to engage them into business process.
Compromising Government Rules
The system furnishes the specifications to be followed according to government. The rules on hours of working, tax payments, reporting resources usage timing according to government scenario can be managed with the GPS remote asset tracking and monitoring system.
Time Saving
The system saves time by reducing the paper work on updating the details. The suspension timing on gathering reports on remote asset can be eliminated since the tracking system gives results on web based services. The time saved on this process can be utilized to do other operations.
Scalability
The system is best suited for accessing from any location. It works perfectly for changing environments. It works better with the growing needs of the organisation since the monitoring system gives accurate results all the time. It is found that the system is helpful to solve the issues on asset in the early stage.
Security

This is possible as the system alerts not only the remote accessing people but also to the persons deployed for working on the asset. This helps employees to be alert during the critical situations.
Benefits of Remote Asset Tracking System
Built-in Sensors
The system provides the built in sensors that are embedded to provide the information to the host. The system is made of RFID tags that captures the information and transform it into digital content. The content is transformed through the satellite to the web based server. The sensor collect, analyze and integrate the information to the accessing portal.
Alerts
The remote tracking gives information alerts when the assets functioning goes wrong. The alerts are made when the fleet moves in incorrect route or when the machineries run out of fuel. This alerting system is useful to maintain the asset without great damage.
Theft Prevention
The system avoids the theft of asset. The theft may be fuel theft or sparse parts theft which cannot be founded easily by the organisation. The GPS remote tracking system monitors every action on the asset preventing the occurrence of theft on even minor parts. It improves the chances of recovery if the asset is stolen.
Automatic Inventory
The system provides the automatic reports on the operations of the asset. The reports that are sent would be helpful to notice the activities on the asset. The process of reporting eliminates the manual work.
Status Information
The system gives information on the current location’s temperature status, speed of the asset, fuel level, engine status, etc. It gives information if the asset has moved out of the destined place. This software based monitoring gives complete geographical information on the asset.
Avoid Disruptions
The automatic system avoids the disruptions that occur due to the network activities. It works finely in the changing networks. The remote monitoring avoids disruptions by third party into the network since the accessing is designed with high security.
