Samsara launches AI agents and tracking tools for operations
The connected operations platform unveiled three products designed to help frontline workers and logistics teams act on real-time data.
Samsara is expanding its connected operations platform with AI agents and hardware designed to help logistics and operations teams move from data collection to real-time action.
At its Samsara Beyond 2026 conference, the company introduced three products aimed at frontline workers and operations leaders: a no-code AI agent builder, single-use shipment tracking labels, and a 360-degree camera for industrial equipment.
The new product lineup
Agent Studio allows operations teams to build custom AI agents without developer support. Using plain English, teams can configure permissions, enable or disable capabilities, and create agents from scratch or from pre-built templates — all powered by data already flowing through Samsara's platform.
The Tracking Label is a disposable Bluetooth tag that provides near-real-time visibility for shipments from origin to delivery, leveraging the Samsara Network. The timing addresses a pressing industry problem: cargo theft has surged 60% year over year and costs U.S. businesses approximately $35 billion annually. The label is designed to detect theft and flag shipping exceptions as they occur.
The 360 Camera mounts on forklifts, pallet jacks, and similar equipment to capture complete visual coverage around the asset in all weather conditions.
Why it matters
Physical operations — the work that stocks shelves, moves freight, and builds infrastructure — have grown 65% over the past decade, nearly double the pace of overall economic growth. Yet many operations teams remain resource-constrained and are still early in extracting value from their data investments. Connected devices and AI that can interpret and act on sensor data represent a potential productivity unlock for industries operating in the physical world.
AI agents in the field
Samsara is also deploying AI agents directly into frontline workers' daily routines. Drivers and equipment operators now receive start-of-shift briefings, can make two-way calls with managers or AI agents through their dashcams, access commercial navigation via CarPlay, and get weekly driving performance recaps.
"While the tasks our frontline workers do vary — from cutting down trees to driving a school bus to maintaining mining equipment — they all have a few things in common: they want to do that in an efficient and safe way," said Johan Land, Samsara's chief product officer.
Land envisions a future where autonomous vehicles, drones, and humanoid robots operate alongside human workers on a unified agentic platform. "In 5–10 years, I think we'll have connected the whole operation, and it will all live on an agentic platform," he said.
Looking forward
The products represent Samsara's bet that the next phase of physical AI involves agents that help frontline workers make faster, safer decisions rather than simply collecting more data. The company is positioning itself as the platform layer that coordinates both human and autonomous operations.
