Asset management using an asset tag device

A system, comprising:

• a plurality of beacon devices, wherein each beacon device of the plurality of beacon devices includes
• a circuit board including a beacon identifier (ID),
• a battery, and
• a first transceiver,
• wherein the first transceiver is configured to wirelessly broadcast a beacon signal, and wherein the beacon signal includes the beacon ID;
• and
• a mobile workstation, wherein the mobile workstation includes
• a second transceiver configured to receive the beacon signal from a beacon device of the plurality of beacon devices,
• a processor, and
• a memory including one or more instructions executable by the processor,
• wherein the one or more instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to run an asset tag manager configured to
• create a first data packet, wherein the first data packet includes the beacon ID of the received beacon signal and asset information of the mobile workstation, and
• send the first data packet to the second transceiver, wherein the second transceiver is further configured to wirelessly transmit the first data packet to a hub.

A method, comprising:

• wirelessly broadcasting, by a beacon device, a beacon signal, wherein the beacon signal includes a beacon identifier (ID);
• receiving, by an asset tag, the beacon signal;
• parsing, from the beacon signal, the beacon ID;
• creating, at the asset tag, a data packet, wherein the data packet includes asset information of the asset tag and the beacon ID;
• and
• wirelessly transmitting, by the asset tag, the data packet to a hub.
