Samsara releases latest-generation asset tag and new Asset Tag XS
Samsara has announced the release of its latest-generation asset tag along with a new, smaller version called Asset Tag XS.
The company’s asset tags are used to help fleets keep track of equipment and other assets. In day-to-day trucking, that typically means improving visibility on where trailers, containers, or other tracked items are located, especially when they are not hooked to a tractor or aren’t otherwise sending location data on their own.
Samsara did not provide additional details in the information released here about pricing, battery life, installation requirements, or specific performance changes between the latest-generation tag and the new XS model.
The broader context is that asset tracking has become a common tool for fleets trying to cut down on time lost looking for equipment, reduce yard confusion, and keep better control of trailers and other high-value gear that can be spread across terminals, customer locations, and drop yards.
More technical and operational specifics will determine how these new tags fit into real-world fleet use, including how they are mounted, how often they need service, and what kind of coverage they maintain in typical trucking conditions.
