Automated location capture system

A locating system, comprising:

• a central server configured to receive and process data;
• a device with a unique identification (ID) configured to be secured or assigned to a person or asset, the device having:
• an radio-frequency identification (RFID) tag with built in encryption and decryption technology, the RFID tag further having one or more data fields that contain one or more information;
• a listening technology that continuously listens for instructions from one or more smart devices;
• and
• an excitation sensor configured to be activated by an external exciter;
• one or more commands to be sent to the device and understood via the listening technology;
• the one or more smart devices to send the one or more commands to the device, each of the one or more smart devices having:
• a tracking device having a sensor configured to emit one or more signals that detect a nearby structure within a room, which in turn determines raw distance data between the sensor and the nearby structure within the room, the tracking device is configured to determine a first location and a second location, based on the determined raw distance data, as the device with the unique ID travels a distance from the first location to the second location;
• wherein the raw distance data is generated based on precise distances between the tracking device and the nearby structure within the room;
• wherein the nearby structure comprises wall surfaces within the room;
• image recognition technology to recognize one or more location identifiers to determine a location of the one or more smart devices;
• and
• communication technology to communicate with one or more autonomous transport devices to determine location data;
• wherein the one or more commands are sent at predetermined intervals and are encrypted to be decrypted by the device;
• wherein the one or more smart devices will store a location of the one or more smart devices and the device with the unique ID.
