Samsara releases latest-generation asset tag and new Asset Tag XS
Samsara has released an updated version of its asset tag, along with a new smaller option called Asset Tag XS.
The company did not provide additional details in the information released, including specifications, pricing, availability, or how the new tags differ from prior versions beyond noting they are the “latest-generation” and introducing the “XS” model.
Asset tags are commonly used in trucking and fleet operations to help keep track of equipment that moves around a yard, job site, or customer location. Depending on how they’re deployed, tags can support day-to-day tasks like locating trailers, verifying which piece of equipment is assigned to which load, and keeping visibility on smaller items that are easy to misplace.
For drivers, equipment tracking tends to matter most when it reduces time spent searching for the right trailer or dealing with missing gear, and when it helps dispatch and yard operations keep equipment organized. Any changes in tag size or generation are typically aimed at fitting more use cases, especially where space is tight or where a smaller form factor is easier to mount.
