摘要

A system and a method for monitoring a location of a mobile RFID reader are provided. The system includes an active RFID tag disposed on the mobile RFID reader configured to transmit a first RF signal. The system further includes a first stationary RFID reader configured to receive the first RF signal. The first stationary RFID reader is further configured to send a first message having data associated with the first RF signal to a computer. The computer is configured to determine a first location of the mobile RFID reader at a first time based on the data associated with the first RF signal. The computer is further configured to store first location data indicating the first location of the mobile RFID reader in a memory device.
