Areas
Areas are similar to assets but include a geofence better defining their location in cartesian (XYZ) or polar (latitude/longitude) coordinates. Like assets, areas can be configured to have multiple types and rules that run against them. This is in addition to monitoring things like temperature and asset movements inside or outside of them.
