Tracking your assets

Start to track your assets using the Abeeway Device Manager application. At the end of this step, you will be able to view your trackers on a map and monitor their performance, such as battery level.

Abeeway Device Manager is a ThingPark Location application designed to help you manage your fleet of trackers efficiently. With Abeeway Device Manager, you can:

• Track your assets on a map, displaying its latest position or its position history
  

• Manage your trackers configuration, using our predefined configuration templates or building your customized parameter set

• Assess trackers performance: radio performance monitoring, location technology usage, battery level monitoring.

Before you begin

We recommend you do a drive or walk test with your tracker to display and analyze a number of reported locations. You can also place the tracker in a moving asset you want to locate.

1. Log in to Abeeway Device Manager on the ThingPark Community platform using this URL: here. If you are using some other platform, please refer to ThingPark Location URLs

2. In the Select Devices column, select the tracker you want to see the location, and click Select.

Note

You can select up to ten trackers to be shown and analyzed at the same time.

3. In the Device Analysis Dashboard that opens, the tracker you have selected displays its status details and statistics. Click the arrow to expand the tracker information. The information relevant to notice is:
