Systems and methods for dynamic optimization of scan time in gateways for asset management

A system, comprising:

• one or more assets disposed within a physical location, wherein each asset is coupled to a wireless tag, and wherein each wireless tag is configured to wirelessly transmit beacon signals at predetermined intervals;
• and
• a gateway configured to cover the range of the physical location, and wherein the gateway is configured to:
• scan the physical location to identify beacon signals transmitted by each of the wireless tags;
• receive the beacon signals from each wireless tag at the predetermined intervals;
• and
• dynamically optimize a function of the gateway by adjusting a current total scan time based at least in part on the number of beacon signals received from previously unknown or new wireless tags disposed within the physical location, wherein adjusting the current total scan time comprises increasing a current scan time of the gateway by an overflow scan time.
