Zusammenfassung:A method for automatically allocating use of an asset is disclosed. Such a method includes tracking proximity of a first asset relative to a second asset and determining when the first asset is proximate the second asset. The method further senses use of the second asset while the first asset is proximate the second asset. Sensing use may include sensing vibration of the second asset, temperature of the second asset, electrical current drawn by the second asset, or the like. The method automatically allocates use of the second assert to at least one of the first asset, an entity associated with the first asset, and a project associated with the first asset. A corresponding system and computer program product are also disclosed herein.
