Product Details

What is Samsara Equipment Monitoring?

Via its Equipment Monitoring solution, Samsara aims to provide reliable insights businesses can act on, across the entire equipment fleet.

Location Tracking
Gain 360-degree visibility across hard to reach sites
Prevent loss and theft, lengthy yard hunts, and unnecessary equipment transfers to and from different job sites with real-time GPS and geofence alerts. Enhanced connectivity ensures no job site is too remote.

Equipment Tracking
A solution to get more out of equipment with real-time GPS, remote access to diagnostics, and insights from automated reports.

  • Unpowered Equipment - Prevent theft and streamline inventory management with ruggedized battery-powered trackers for equipment across your job sites
  • Powered Equipment - Track usage and ensure equipment is being utilized effectively before renting or purchasing additional equipment.
  • Heavy Equipment - Keep heavy equipment out of the shop and address issues instantly with remote access to engine diagnostics and fault code.
Samsara's ruggedized hardware can be installed in minutes to provide real-time GPS and diagnostic data to power equipment management workflows.

Utilization Reporting
To get the most out of every piece of equipment
Supports procurement planning process with automated utilization reports. By helping users to understand which pieces of equipment are underutilized, users are enabled to reallocate before purchasing or renting more (potentially unneeded) equipment.

Streamline maintenance with diagnostics
Enables teams to spot potential problems earlier and prevent downtime with fault code alerts. Use real-time diagnostics to reduce troubleshooting times, investigate issues remotely, and better plan preventive maintenance.

Billing and Job Costing - Improve customer service with turnkey reports
The solution helps to meet rising customer expectations for visibility with Time on Site and Billing Reports that show customers that the hours billed match the hours worked. By tracking engine runtime and power takeoff, users can also better estimate the cost of upcoming projects.

Being a textile manufacturing plant, the main issue for us was loss and theft, multi-site movement of equipment transfers, and other repetitive tasks that could've been done, managed, and located using technology that was not only reliable but effective and efficient for the manufacturing plant as a whole. As the construction of our new plant/factory could not afford downtime, we wanted to have a proactive approach to our maintenance programs, and if in case any incident does occur, we would want to simplify the process of identifying and resolving the issue as a whole - thus reducing downtime and improving efficiency. So, our scope revolves around identifying and keeping track of items as well as having ensured that technology helps identify, reduce paperwork, and keep track of and locate problems in machinery at our sites.
  • Asset Identification.
  • Record Keeping.
  • Proactive at Identifying Issues.
  • Flexibility in the software.
  • Commitment time frame for new users.
  • Flexibility in devices.
The best part about the software is its openness to integration. With a flexible API, we integrated a lot of modules with the software, thus ensuring the safety of history/records as per our needs without having to pay more for customization. The system is not only user-friendly but well thought out. The ease of access to the system leads to lower training costs and ensures that the team is chunking out savings and driving efficiencies throughout. Since Samsara does not discriminate on the minimum number of vehicles/assets that are to be tracked, it makes it far easier to utilize. However, on things to improve - Samsara can have the software tweaked to cater to more than the construction industry, whereby companies such as us who are into multiple domains can benefit from the same. Also, if there were a one-time cost for availing services, it would mean the world to clients like us!
  • Optimization in time for man power / record keeping / fault tracing.
  • Locating assets / machinery.
  • Identification of preventive maintenances and ensuring upkeep of plan.
  • Positive: Savings on cost, efficiencies and time.
  • Positive: Management of Assets, Use, Reduction in Redundancies.
  • Negative: Customer Service needs improvement.
Great software for managing and tracking assets, identifying maintenance/breakdowns in assets, and ensuring the best productivity per asset. Cost analysis benefit / Service provision for 1 unit as well - which is good enough for testing purposes Ease of use, dashboards are easy to view and understand Comprehensive collection of data - presentation of information in required format Limitation on flexible use of API, thus leading to repetition of information/data leading to inefficient hours Flexibility in the units provided/not much to do in terms of modification of assets, its just a plug and play system.
