SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR TRACKING ASSETS WITHIN A MONITORED ENVIRONMENT

摘要

A system associates change in the state of an asset to an event trigger within a monitored environment. This environment includes a plurality of assets and a tag transmitter positioned on each asset and operative for transmitting a wireless RF signal based on an event trigger based on one of at least the change in state of an asset and change in location of the asset. A plurality of spaced apart access points receive an RF signal transmitted from a tag transmitter. A processor is operatively connected to the access points and collect possible candidates as assets associated with the event trigger and assigning a numerical score to each candidate to determine which asset is best associated with the event trigger.

1. A system for associating change in the state of an asset to an event trigger within a monitored environment, comprising:
a plurality of assets; a tag transmitter positioned on each asset and operative for transmitting a wireless RF signal based on an event trigger based on one of at least the change in state of an asset and change in the location of the asset; a plurality of spaced apart access points positioned at known locations within the monitored environment that receive a RF signal transmitted from a tag transmitter; and a processor operatively connected to said access points, wherein said processor is operative for collecting possible candidates as assets associated with the event trigger and assigning a numerical score to each candidate to determine which asset is best associated with the event trigger.
