Step 2: Adding Assets
In Amazon Monitron, the machines you monitor are known as assets. Assets are usually individual machines, but they can also be specific sections of equipment. Assets are paired to sensors, which directly monitor temperature and vibration to check for potential failures. You can add assets using both the Amazon Monitron web app and the Amazon Monitron mobile app.
