A non-powered asset is any piece of equipment that does not have a starter motor, ignition, or power source - such as trailers, containers, and generators. Track asset locations and status in Reveal to optimize equipment use, prevent theft, and keep your team equipped.
Non-powered assets are added to Reveal when a tracking unit is installed on them. You can see non-powered assets on Live Map and also in the Fleet and device list.
