FIG. 10 shows an asset tracking application using the device 1002 in accordance with one or more embodiments. The device, which is battery powered, small, and compact, is an ideal device for tracking the environmental states and location of assets. For instance, the device 1002 can be placed in a bicycle 1006, car 1008, truck 1010, luggage 1012, package 1014, pallet 1016, or any other asset 1018. The sensor readings are then sent out to the cloud through its wireless connectivity 1004 capabilities. The device could be attached to any assets and be tracked and monitored throughout a period of time. The device can be configured to monitor particular metrics that are of interest for that asset, such as temperature, humidity, pressure, and any other sensible metrics that are part of the device. The asset 1018 could be monitored at various time intervals and then wirelessly 1004 sent to the cloud. This data could then be plotted or analyzed over time. The device can be attached to an asset using an adhesive, by utilizing the general-purpose hole, or by implementing the use of a custom case and potentially waterproofing the device.
