ffective management of physical assets is key to determining productivity. Time wasted looking for equipment, the cost of lost or stolen assets quickly impacts your bottom line. Through the deployment of asset tracking solutions, you realise the ability to gain global visibility in any environment helping to improve productivity, efficiency, and a reduction in overall operational costs in addition to preventing theft and waste. The Chronos approach to asset tracking also includes activity data allowing you to answer the question ‘Where is my stuff and what is it doing?’ Connecting machines, tools, people, and other assets gives organisations the ability to better visualise, plan and execute production processes by enabling you to track and locate your assets and people. The use of sensor data is further driving productivity by establishing predictive and preventative maintenance schedules ensuring critical
equipment remains in use. Tracking inventory and equipment as it moves from building to building removes the risk of loss and improves production flows. Working with industry leading suppliers, Chronos offers the only single technology deployment covering both indoor and outdoor tracking in the toughest environments. Chronos has been in the business of GPS/GNSS for over 35 years. Talk to our team about how our asset tracking solutions can help you. Contact 01594 862200 sales@chronos.uk https://chronos.uk
