摘要: A method for detecting the usage of assets includes attaching a tracking device to each asset of a plurality of assets. An identifier associated with the asset is stored on a memory of the tracking device. After an asset has been used or is empty, the asset is physically grouped with other used or empty assets. Using the tracking devices, it is detected that an asset that the tracking device is attached to has been grouped with other assets. The tracking devices associated with the group of assets determine a manifest of asset identifiers for each asset in the group of used or empty assets. An asset tracking system determines that each asset corresponding to the identifiers in the manifest is used or empty.

摘要: A wireless sensing system uses heartbeat signals to monitor locations and usage information for assets. Heartbeat signals are signals transmitted periodically. However, in fast-paced environments, assets may move too quickly for heartbeat signals to provide useful information. In these and other scenarios, the wireless sensing system receives a first set of data describing signal strength between a tape node associated with an asset and a first node associated with a first portion of an area and a second set of data describing signal strength between the tape node associated with the asset and a second node associated with a second portion of the area. Based on relative signal strengths described by the received data, the wireless sensing system determines a path of the tape node associated with the asset.

摘要: A method for multi-phase monitoring, comprising: receiving a first set of data associated with a monitoring agent during a first phase of an itinerary for monitoring an asset; determining the first phase of the itinerary is complete; receiving a second set of data relating to a second phase of the itinerary, the second set of data defining a phase requirement for implementing the second phase; determining an agent capability of the monitoring agent; comparing the agent capability to the phase requirement; and performing an action based on whether the phase requirement is capable of being met by the monitoring agent.

摘要: A method is closed for context-based compression and reconstruction of data transmitted from a wireless node in an IOT system, according to some embodiments. The method includes a server receiving communications from a sender node. The communication includes truncated data comprising a sender node address, wherein the truncated data does not include an identifier of a physical premises associated with the sender node. The server accesses a lookup table comprising plurality of entries mapping sender node addresses to identifiers of physical premises. The server retrieves an identifier of a physical premises corresponding to node, according to the lookup table and appends the identifier of the physical premises to the sender address to reconstruct the full sender address.

摘要: Apparatus and methods prepare an adhesive tape platform with a battery for disposal at an end of its useful life. The adhesive tape platform determines when it is at the end of its useful life and performs an action to drain remaining battery life of the battery. When remaining life in the battery is less than a threshold level, the adhesive tape platform transmits a ready for disposal notification to an Internet of Things (IOT) system of the adhesive tape platform. The adhesive tape platform may determine its life expectancy and operational phases of the adhesive tape platform and assign battery usage for each of the operational phases such that the battery is depleted at an end of a last one of the operational phases. The adhesive tape platform may activate battery draining circuitry to drain the remaining battery life of the battery.

摘要: A node of a wireless sensing system automatically switches from using a primary satellite network to using a backup satellite network. The node uses primary parameters of the primary satellite network to determine when the primary satellite network is unavailable. The node determines, based on backup parameters for the backup satellite network, an expected availability of the backup satellite network, and establishes, during the expected availability, a communication connection with the backup satellite network. To reduce battery usage of at least one tape node of a wireless tracking system, a gateway node receives a wireless satellite signal from at least one navigation satellite of a satellite navigation system, decodes Ephemeris data therefrom, and distributes the Ephemeris data to the at least one tape node via a low-powered wireless communication interface.
