What are the asset states for activity?

Learn how Trackunit defines and calculates the asset activity states: Working, Idling, Stopped, and Unknown.

Updated this week

Activity states help you understand how your assets are being used, whether they’re working, idling, stopped, or potentially offline.

Where to see asset states for activity

You can view asset activity states directly on the Map.
In the lower-left corner of the Map, you’ll see a summary of asset activity based on their current state.

You can also filter for Activity in the top left of the asset list in the Map page as well as in the top bar of the Assets page.

Note: Assets connected via Bluetooth tags do currently not support activity states.

How the activity states are determined

Activity states are calculated for assets that report Cumulative Operating Hours (shown as Total Hours in Trackunit Manager) through machine insight data.

Activity state definitions

Your assets are categorized into four activity states:

State

Description

Source data

Working

The asset is operating and not idling.

Based on Total Hours in machine insight data.

Idling

The asset is running but not performing productive work (that means it is idling).

Based on Total Idle Hours machine insight data.

Stopped

The asset is not operating.

Based on Total Hours and Operating in machine insight data (only if available).

Unknown

The activity state is a 'live state', meaning it updates continuously.

If an asset stops reporting Total Hours at its usual frequency, the state changes to 'Unknown'.

Reporting has stopped.
