1. An equipment identification system for identifying machines at a site, the system comprising:
a plurality of connectivity modules, each connectivity module communicatively and physically coupled to one of the machines, wherein each connectivity module is a self-contained unit comprising a beacon, the beacon comprising a light generator and a sound generator, wherein the beacon is configured to identify the associated machine by generating one or both of a first audible signal or a first visual signal; and
a user device configured to:
communicate with the connectivity modules via a network connection;
receive, via a GUI, a user selection of a filter corresponding to a status or condition on an application hosted on the user device; and
in response to receiving the user selection:
identify a subset of the machines based on the selected filter, the subset comprising two or more machines;
send a message instructing each machine in the subset to generate one or both of the first audible signal or the first visual signal; and
send a message instructing one or more of the machines that are not included in the subset to generate one or both of a second visual signal or a second audible signal,
wherein the second visual signal is different from the first visual signal, and wherein the second audible signal is different from the first audible signal.
