    Abstract: In some implementations, a locating agent may identify, at the locating agent, one or more identifiable access points, each identifiable access point establishing a wireless network and being identifiable to the locating agent via a signal broadcast from the identifiable access point. The locating agent may compare the identified one or more identifiable access points to an access-point database defining known access points to the wireless tracking system. The locating agent may connect to one of the identifiable access points based on the comparing. The locating agent may transmit one or more of sensed and monitoring data captured at the locating agent to an external device via the connected access point.

    Abstract: A solar-powered wireless communication device a flexible circuit, a device layer positioned adjacent to the flexible circuit and having a plurality of electronic components coupled to the flexible circuit, a flexible cover positioned over the device layer, a flexible substrate coupled with a second side of the flexible circuit, opposite the first side, by a first adhesive layer, and a solar panel positioned at a surface of the solar-powered tape node and coupling with the flexible circuit. The solar panel has a light-receiving surface facing away from the flexible circuit and is operable to generate electrical power when light is incident on the light-receiving surface. The solar-powered wireless communication device being operable to determine that power available to the solar-powered wireless communication device is below a first threshold and delegate at least one task of the solar-powered wireless communication device to another node of a network communications environment.

    Abstract: In some implementations, a wireless sensing system may receive sensor data associated with an asset. The sensor data may be associated with a tampering event and the tampering event may include an action performed on the asset. The wireless sensing system may further determine whether the tampering event is performed by an authorized user of the wireless sensing system. The wireless sensing system may further determine whether the tampering event is performed within an authorized location of the wireless sensing system. The wireless sensing system may transmit a notification to a user of the wireless sensing system. The notification may alert the user of the wireless sensing system that the tampering event has occurred.

    Abstract: Systems and methods monitor loading of cargo onto a transport vehicle to avoid incorrect cargo loading incidents. A wireless monitoring device positioned near an access port of a cargo hold of the transport vehicle receives a tracking identifier of a wireless tracking tag attached to a logistic container containing the cargo as the logistic container is conveyed into the cargo hold. An alert is generated by the wireless monitoring device when the tracking identifier is not listed in a manifest listing identifiers of wireless tracking tags attached to logistic containers expected to be loaded into the cargo hold. Within the cargo hold, the wireless tracking tags may also exchange their tracking identifiers such that any one of the wireless tracking tags may determine, by counting, when less than a target threshold number of wireless tracking tags are present.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to wireless sensor networks installation, deployment, maintenance, and operation. A distributed network of wireless tags enable a wide variety of different indoor and outdoor applications to be implemented, including asset finding, workflow automation, and internet-of-things applications. The physical premises environment may be any location in which there are persons, places or things to be monitored, tracked, sensed, or inventoried, or other defined space. The distributed network of wireless tags is associated with a wireless client device that enables a customer to configure and retrieve status data, event data, and sensor data from wireless tags and other components in the physical premises environment. Embodiments utilize different types of network nodes to collect data from the physical premises environment. Examples of the types of data that may be collected by the wireless tags include asset status information, event data, and sensor data.

    Abstract: 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.
