    A few ideas off the top of my head

    • asset tracking
    • location awareness
    • ability to send out mass specs to devices
    • device assignment
    • tracking working hours

    I’m not saying all of these are good ideas, or that they couldn’t just have a centralized hub that just pushes and pulls this information. That said, the website for them does list that they also have a camera for scanning barcodes. I could see having barcodes linked with a certain torque spec and that requiring a network connection if the information wasn’t hard coded. website
