New Features
ASSET TRACKING: IMPROVED ASSET JOURNEY & INTERACTIVE SITE EDITING
 | Improved Asset Journey To further improve the tabular overview in the asset journey, multiple identical asset locations are combined into just one location entry in the table. The same applies to shown location markers in the map. |
 | Interactive Site editing The bounding box of a site can now be set interactively on the map. To do this, click on "Edit Site Outlines" and drag the points of the generated outline to the desired locations. You can also click on the semi-transparent points to add new points. Click on the image to the left to watch a short example video. |
THINGSHUB VISUALIZER: GRAFANA UPDATED TO 8.2.7
 | Grafana updated from v7.3.5 to v8.2.7 The big feature headlines around Grafana v8.x include an overhaul of the alerting system; new and improved visualizations, including state timeline, status history, and histogram panels; live streaming and library panels that can be reused. | |
 New Editing Panel |  New Geomap Panel | It has been extensively tested by the thingsHub development team that existing dashboards will continue to work flawlessly without customization. Migration from Grafana 7 to newer Grafana 8 panels (an example: old table widget to new table widget), can be done at any time via the panel editor. |
TRACK ASSETS WITH LTE-M & NB-IOT ASSET TRACKING DEVICES
In an increasingly complex and globalized logistics landscape, being able to accurately track assets as they move throughout the supply chain can be a huge advantage for businesses. As a leading provider of end-to-end managed tracking solutions, we help forward-thinking enterprises create truly connected tracking devices or solutions that utilize the latest LTE-M and NB-IoT standards in addition to LoRaWAN to provide highly-accurate geolocation capabilities in an extremely compact size. With thingsHub 4.8 the asset tracking modul support using GPS Asset Trackers from our partners Digital Matter (Yabby Edge) and NimbeLink. |   |
