Asset Management Service for Distributed Computing Environments

摘要

Concepts and technologies are disclosed herein for an asset management service. The asset management service can receive asset record creation requests and can store asset records at an asset data repository. The asset records can identify assets and associated information such as, for example, asset identifiers, personnel, organizations, users, geographic locations, time and date information, status information, or the like. A user device can execute an asset management application to generate asset tags including the asset identifiers and to scan existing asset tags. When asset tags are scanned, the user device also can capture device and/or user information that can be used to set a status or provide available status choices. Status updates can be provided to the asset management service for updating of the asset records.

主权项

1. A method comprising:
capturing, by a camera of a user device, an asset identifier that uniquely identifies an asset; capturing, at the user device using a location device, geographic location information that identifies a geographic location of the user device; transmitting, using a transceiver of the user device and directed to an asset management engine, the asset identifier and the geographic location information; receiving, by the user device, a list of available status updates for the asset; presenting, at the user device in a user interface, the list of available status updates; detecting, at the user device, selection of a status update of the available status updates; and transmitting, using the transceiver of the user device and directed to the asset management engine, the asset identifier, the geographic location information, and event data that indicates the status update.
