Asset Monitoring & Control enables asset owners to employ a suite of intelligent sensors to monitor the condition of mobile or fixed assets that are located remotely. Knowing the condition of assets in real time can enable diagnosis of problems, help prevent breakdowns, reduce unnecessary maintenance, enable operational improvements, extend equipment life, and reduce costs related to unneeded trips to asset locations for diagnostic, repair or replenishment services.

In some cases, adjustments to asset operating conditions to address problems can be conducted remotely. Refrigerated freight haulers might monitor the temperature of refrigerated trailers while on the road and alert drivers to refrigeration outages or send commands to adjust temperature settings. Propane or heating oil distributors might remotely monitor tank levels to optimize timing of refills.
