Asset tracking can be used by employees to alert others if a piece of equipment needs to be fixed due to damages. For example, employees can locate assets on the indoor map and add a repair request that will be immediately sent to technicians. A notification can also be sent out to all employees notifying them of the damaged equipment to avoid usage. \",\"nodeType\":\"text\"}],\"nodeType\":\"paragraph\"},{\"data\":{\"target\":{\"sys\":{\"id\":\"7mFg3NimwxbvmqEvr6pb9x\",\"type\":\"Link\",\"linkType\":\"Asset\"}}},\"content\":[],\"nodeType\":\"embedded-asset-block\"},{\"data\":{},\"content\":[{\"data\":{},\"marks\":[],\"value\":\"8.
