How does it work?
Smart Asset Tracking helps companies/organizations to geographically monitor and track mobile assets based on near actual GPS location data.
Use case
When installed, the smartassettracking app:
Enables GPS asset tracking of - including Live and History views.
Creates a digital twin definition and provides a new data point type - a street map.
The smart asset tracking use case is only available on Assets and allows you to track a valuable asset (pool car, shipment, ...).
It provides a near live view of the location
The location data is refreshed every 5 minutes (defined by the app)
Interaction: the street map data point allows you to grab and move the map. Also, you can zoom in/ zoom out.
It has a history view that becomes available if you click the expand icon (Expand icon). This opens a details window and shows a Day view (you can select a different date or select a Week or Month view).
It shows a map with all measured locations plotted on it and a line that connects the locations. It does not show the route that was taken to get from one point to another because this is not measured.

You can also disable/enable the lines connecting the locations.
If your device has GPS and provides location data and it is connected to the digital twin in the IoT Platform, its location data is shared with the Digital twin counterpart in Planon and the street map data point is populated.
