Physical assets can be defined as one of the following types:
Moveable assets
This includes furniture and equipment not part of a building or infrastructure. Laptop computers are a good example of moveable assets. A laptop may change hands and locations many times throughout its lifespan. Asset tags, in this case, are used for inventory control, assignment of equipment or supplies, and loss prevention.

Fixed assets
This type of physical asset is also known as an infrastructure asset and essentially defines physical property controlled by an enterprise that remains in a fixed location throughout its lifespan. It can include road signs, bridges, tunnels, water and sewer systems, dams and lighting systems, buildings and any machinery or equipment attached to a building. In this case, asset tags offer the ability to produce a broad map overview that identifies the company's assets for the purpose of analysis and project planning. Asset tags are also used to track maintenance and repairs of fixed assets.
