Why Smart Assets?
Constrained resources. Limited budgets. A push to predictive maintenance. If this sounds familiar, our IoT solution can help your organization shift from reactive to predictive maintenance.
Smart Assets lets you append remote monitoring sensors to assets. Sensors collect and transmit critical data to Asset Essentials, such as temperature, pressure or vibration, automatically generating work orders when something isn’t right.
Create a unified experience with IoT-driven insights right where you already work.
Monitor what matters most with flexibility and a range of sensor options.
Grow your IoT program as your needs expand, while optimizing resources.
Featured capabilities
Do more with fewer resources
With attrition and turnover on the rise, IoT helps through automated, 24/7 remote monitoring via sensors — reducing manual checks and surfacing near-real-time data so you can fix issues faster.
Save money, minimize issues
Downtime and failures result in wasted dollars. IoT sensors help reduce costly surprises with threshold-based alerts and automated work orders.
Preserve long-term asset health
IoT solutions boost asset performance and extend lifecycles by detecting subtle patterns and informing strategic preventive maintenance.

Chroma Color | Boosting efficiency, slashing downtime
After streamlining maintenance with Asset Essentials, Chroma Color added Smart Assets at two sites to gather deeper insights. “It’s amazing to see pictures of what’s actually happening on that equipment,” says Glenn Munshaw, Vice President of Operations. “All the additional data we’re gathering allows us to paint a picture.”
Frequently asked questions
What is Smart Assets?
Siemens' Smart Assets, an add-on to Asset Essentials, uses connected sensors and devices that collect near-real-time data on physical assets like machinery, equipment or vehicles. Enriched data and actionable insights help teams monitor asset performance, conditions and locations, enabling you to detect asset failures and extend asset lifespans through proactive, predictive maintenance.
What are the benefits of using IoT for predictive maintenance?
IoT sensors help organizations monitor asset conditions, including customized thresholds for vibration, temperature and pressure. IoT sensors collect near-real-time data integrated with AI to quickly predict potential failures before they occur. With clear, actionable insights, maintenance teams can allow for scheduled maintenance to minimize costly downtime and extend asset life.
How does IoT improve operational efficiency in asset management?
IoT enhances operational efficiency by providing near-real-time insights into asset performance, usage and location. This data enables optimized maintenance scheduling, reduces manual inspections, automates inventory and facilitates predictive maintenance, leading to reduced unexpected downtime, lower overall costs and better resource allocation.
How does IoT improve asset tracking and location?
IoT devices attached to assets transmit their location data in near real time. This allows organizations to quickly find equipment, prevent loss and optimize logistics, reducing search times and improving asset inventory accuracy.
