Case Study: University of California San Diego achieves improved safety and global asset tracking with itemit

How The University of California San Diego Are Using itemit For Emergency Assets

The University of California San Diego, overseeing the Simons Observatory build in the remote Atacama Desert, needed better visibility and control of critical safety assets—oxygen canisters, defibrillators and satellite phones—plus reliable tracking of resupplies from San Diego and management of phone contracts. They engaged itemit and its equipment tracking software to solve these logistics and safety challenges.

itemit implemented tagged asset profiles, scan-updated locations, shipment tracking and reminder alerts so the team can see on-site versus reserve inventories, predict resupplies and maintain communications. As a result, itemit gave the observatory a clear audit trail and real-time visibility that prevented a satellite-phone service lapse, improved safety for field teams and delivered greater operational confidence.
