MESH NETWORK APPLIED TO FIXED ESTABLISHMENT WITH MOVABLE ITEMS THEREIN

摘要

Mesh node modules are associated with movable and fixed items in a building such as a grocery store or factory floor to maintain a database of the locations of those items as they are processed through the establishment. The items form a mesh network and relay location information through access points, when in range, to control/monitoring computers.
