IOT ASSET TRACKING
Seamlessly Monitor and Manage Assets with IoT Tracking
IoT asset tracking leverages GPS-enabled devices to monitor the location of physical assets in real time. With SocketXP, you can implement geofencing policies to take action when assets move beyond set boundaries, ensuring security and operational efficiency.
Asset tracking is the process of using internet-connected devices to monitor the geographic location of physical assets. It involves attaching tracking devices such as a GPS unit to assets, which collect data and transmit it to a central system for analysis and decision-making. You could then apply geofencing policies to disable the device or select functions when it goes out of the allowed boundary limit.

FAQS
Frequently Asked Questions
Find quick answers to the most common questions about this topic.
What is IoT asset tracking?
+IoT asset tracking is the real-time monitoring of the physical location and status of connected devices and equipment using GPS, Wi-Fi geolocation, or cellular network triangulation. SocketXP's asset tracking feature shows the live location of every registered device on an interactive map, so you always know where your fleet is deployed.
Does SocketXP support real-time GPS tracking of IoT devices?
+Yes. SocketXP supports GPS-based location tracking when a GPS module is attached to the device. The SocketXP agent reads the GPS coordinates and reports them to the platform. The device's current position is displayed on the SocketXP MapView dashboard and updated in real time.
Can I track a device's location without a dedicated GPS hardware module?
+Yes. For devices without GPS, SocketXP can use the Google Geolocation API to estimate location based on visible Wi-Fi access points and cellular towers. This provides approximate location tracking—typically accurate to within a few hundred metres—without requiring additional hardware.
What happens to location tracking when a device loses internet connectivity?
+When a device goes offline, the SocketXP portal retains the last known location and marks the device as offline with a timestamp. Once the device reconnects, location reporting resumes automatically. You can configure an offline alert to notify your team when a tracked device stops reporting.
Can I get alerts when a device moves outside a defined geographic area (geofencing)?
+Geofencing alerts are on the SocketXP roadmap. Currently, you can use the SocketXP REST API to query device locations programmatically and build custom geofencing logic in your own application. Contact support@socketxp.com to learn about early access to built-in geofencing.
What industries benefit most from SocketXP asset tracking?
+Industries with large numbers of mobile or field-deployed devices benefit most: agriculture (tracking tractors and irrigation units), logistics (monitoring cargo and delivery vehicles), utilities (locating grid sensors and meters), smart cities (tracking municipal equipment), and healthcare (monitoring mobile diagnostic devices and infusion pumps).
