Asset Tracking FAQs
What is digital asset tracking?
Digital asset tracking uses indoor maps and real-time data to locate, monitor, and manage equipment and resources across complex spaces. It helps organisations reduce lost items, improve efficiency, and make data-driven operational decisions.
How does Living Map’s Locator platform work?
Locator combines interactive maps with live asset data. Items appear on the map in real time and can be organised with Zones or Search Tags. Historical tracking allows teams to analyse trends and optimise asset use across buildings.
What are Locator Zones?
Within our Asset Locator platform, Zones define specific areas on your map, such as storage rooms, labs, or meeting spaces. Assets within Zones can be monitored for movement or environmental conditions, giving staff instant insights and better operational control.
Can asset tracking improve operational efficiency?
Yes. Real-time visibility and historical tracking reduce the time spent searching for assets such as critical equipment, optimise workflows, and help teams make better space and resource decisions.
Does digital asset tracking reduce lost or misplaced equipment?
Absolutely. With Locator, every asset’s location is tracked, monitored, and recorded, minimising loss and ensuring items are available when needed.
Can asset tracking integrate with other systems?
Yes. Locator can connect with IoT sensors, building management systems, and operational software to provide a unified view of assets across all facilities.
How is asset tracking different from digital wayfinding?
Asset tracking monitors equipment, while digital wayfinding guides people. Both use indoor maps, but one is for operational management and the other for navigation.
