🎙️The latest Facilities Unfiltered podcast is out now!🎙️
900+ capital assets across 60 locations. Refrigerators, freezers, combi ovens, milk coolers, delivery trucks — and that's before you count the small wares.
On this episode of Facilities Unfiltered, guest Thomas Arganda, Director of Child Nutrition for Stockton Unified School District, breaks down what asset management actually looks like when you're feeding thousands of kids daily with no summer break — and why temperature monitoring sensors revealed problems his team didn't even know existed.
The takeaway: You can't protect food safety, budget, or warranties without knowing the full picture of what you own, where it is, and how it's performing.

A 20-year tech "knew where everything was" — until they popped open an unmarked ceiling hatch and found a dead exhaust fan over a chemical lab. Belt snapped, motor blown, for who knows how long. It wasn't in any system, so it didn't exist.
Institutional knowledge is valuable, but it's not complete. And it doesn't survive retirement, turnover, or the day-to-day grind that keeps us from asking "what's behind that hatch?"
Asset inventory isn't sexy, but it's step one. Everything else — your PM program, your budget, your staffing plan — is built on top of it. And if the foundation has gaps you don't even know about, those plans are only as good as your luck.
