item of plant / equipment
Explanation:
IF this is in a context of inventory management, then 'asset' is the term used to describe an item of equipment: an office chair, a computer, a steel rolling mill...

These days, big organizations keep a pretty tight track on these things, and use serial numbers, barcodes, tags, special software, etc. to facilitate checking.
