Understand the privacy and consent requirements before you set up Data Cloud in your org. See [Ethics, Privacy, and Consent](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=data.c360_a_consumer_rights.htm&type=5&language=en_US). You can use Data Cloud with Connected Assets for these purposes. - Harmonize data on asset operations and asset operator behavior by using the asset telematics data model objects. Track metrics such as asset temperature, pressure, vibrations, usage, output power, and activation status. - Analyze asset operator behavior by tracking metrics such as phone usage, smoking, and idling. To identify trends from this data, you can create reports, segments, and calculated insights. - Segment asset condition and output metrics to optimize asset maintenance schedules and maximize asset output. - Track metrics on asset fleet and trip metrics to make data-driven decisions on asset operations. - **[Set Up Data Cloud for Connected Assets](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=xcloud.ca_dcv_prerequisites.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)** Complete the basic setup required to model, store, and use asset data in Data Cloud. You must set up Data Cloud, enable the required features, connect Data Cloud to your Salesforce CRM org, and configure the security permissions. - **[Ingestion of Connected Assets Data into Data Cloud](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=xcloud.ca_dcv_ingest_data.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)** To ingest asset data into Data Cloud, connect your external data sources to Data Cloud. For example, you can bring in data from your telematics providers to proactively asset performance and analyze asset operator performance. You can also bring in data from telematics provider systems, diagnostics systems, and systems that store sensor, machine, and production line operations data. - **[Connected Assets Data Model Objects](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=xcloud.ca_dcv_dmos.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)** Model and store information on asset operations, operator behavior, types of faults, and other asset data in Data Cloud by using data model objects (DMOs). The Salesforce Standard Data Model SSOT package contains asset telematics data model objects that companies use to store data for assets. Use the asset data for segmentation, activation, analytics, or any other operation in Data Cloud. - **[Asset Management Starter Data Kit for Connected Assets](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=xcloud.ca_dc_datakit_asset_management_starter.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)** Get a head start in your Data Cloud implementation for Connected Assets by installing the Asset Management Starter data kit.
