Smart Asset Tracking to Maximize Equipment Efficiency
Monitor, locate, and optimize critical assets in real time with our IoT-based Asset Tracking and Utilization Systems.
Overview
IoT-based Asset Tracking and Utilization Systems empower manufacturers to gain real-time visibility into the location, status, and usage of critical physical assets across facilities. These intelligent systems eliminate manual tracking, reduce asset loss, and enable data-driven decision-making that improves operational efficiency. By integrating sensors, cloud connectivity, and advanced analytics, they help optimize equipment utilization, maintenance schedules, and overall asset lifecycle management.
At IoT Manufacturing Tech, we develop smart asset tracking systems designed to meet the evolving demands of industrial operations. Headquartered in Chicago, IL, we serve clients across North America with scalable IoT solutions backed by innovation, reliability, and unmatched customer service. Our mission is to help B2B customers streamline asset management and unlock the full value of connected factory infrastructure.
The Following are Our Advanced IoT Offerings for Asset tracking and utilization systems
In addition to offering products and systems developed by our own and other partners, we are proud to carry top-tier products and systems from our trusted partners, GAO Tek Inc. and GAO RFID Inc., delivering reliable, high-quality technologies, integration and services you can count on. When appropriate, we have provided links to relevant products and systems of GAO Tek Inc. and GAO RFID Inc .
Core Components
Hardware

Case Studies
U.S. Case Study – Aerospace Manufacturer, Seattle, WA
A large aerospace firm implemented our IoT-based tracking solution to monitor tools and parts across multiple hangars. By integrating RFID tags and BLE beacons with their existing ERP, they achieved a 40% reduction in search time for assets and significantly improved audit compliance.
U.S. Case Study – Oilfield Equipment Supplier, Houston, TX
We helped an oilfield equipment provider track high-value machinery across storage yards and remote drilling sites. With GPS and geofencing features, the company eliminated unauthorized equipment transfers and cut asset recovery time by over 50%.
Canadian Case Study – Food Distribution Hub, Ontario
A distribution center managing perishable inventory turned to IoT Manufacturing Tech to track the movement and usage of refrigeration units and pallet jacks. Using our mobile-accessible dashboard, they optimized asset allocation, reducing equipment idle time by 30% and improving on-time deliveries.
