Cut cable detection system

A system comprising:

• a memory;
• an identification mechanism;
• a tracking device;
• at least one hardware processor to perform operations comprising:
• associating the tracking device with an asset, the tracking device comprising a cable that connects the tracking device with an electrical system of the asset;
• implementing the identification mechanism that identifies the cable at a position opposite of the tracking device within the cable that connects the tracking device to the electrical system of the asset;
• causing the tracking device to perform a check for a presence of the identification mechanism at the position opposite the tracking device within the cable at a periodic time interval;
• and
• presenting a notification based on a result of the check for the presence of the identification mechanism at the position opposite the tracking device within the cable.

A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a machine, cause the machine to perform operations comprising:

• associating a tracking device with an asset, the tracking device comprising a cable that connects the tracking device with an electrical system of the asset;
• implementing an identification mechanism that identifies the cable at a position opposite of the tracking device within the cable that connects the tracking device to the electrical system of the asset;
• causing the tracking device to perform a check for a presence of the identification mechanism at the position opposite the tracking device within the cable at a periodic time interval;
• and
• presenting a notification based on a result of the check for the presence of the identification mechanism at the position opposite the tracking device within the cable.
