Wearable reader device technology for guiding a user to load an asset in an assigned logistics vehicle

A method comprising:

• reading, by a reader device, data of a tag coupled to an asset automatically without an individual person who is associated with the reader device performing a mechanical action with respect to the reader device by transmitting a first signal to interrogate the tag;
• in response to reading the data, sending, by the reader device, a first indication;
• reading, by the reader device, second data of a reference tag located within an enclosed storage location automatically without the individual person performing the mechanical action with respect to the reader device by transmitting a second signal to interrogate the reference tag;
• in response to receiving the second data, sending, by the reader device, a second indication;
• receiving, by a at least one computer processor, the first indication from the reader device;
• determining, by the at least one computer processor and based at least in part on the first indication, that the asset is assigned to be placed within the enclosed storage location;
• in response to determining that the asset is assigned to be placed within the enclosed storage location, transmitting, by the at least one computer processor and to the reader device, a first notification that the individual person is traveling towards the enclosed storage location;
• and
• subsequent to providing the first notification:
• receiving, by the at least one computer processor, the second indication from the reader device;
• determining, by the at least one computer processor and based at least in part on the second indication, that the asset has been placed within the enclosed storage location;
• and
• in response to determining that the asset has been placed within the enclosed storage location, providing, by the at least one computer processor, a second notification indicating that the asset is assigned to be placed within the enclosed storage location.

A system comprising:

• a reader device configured to:
• read data of a tag coupled to an asset automatically without an individual person who is associated with the reader device performing a mechanical action with respect to the reader device by transmitting a first signal to interrogate the tag;
• send a first indication in response to reading the data;
• read second data of a reference tag located within an enclosed storage location automatically without the individual person performing the mechanical action with respect to the reader device by transmitting a second signal to interrogate the reference tag;
• send a second indication in response to reading the second data;
• at least one computer processor;
• and
• one or more computer storage media storing computer-useable instructions that, when used by the at least one computer processor, cause the at least one computer processor to perform operations comprising:
• receiving the first indication from the reader device;
• determining, based at least in part on the first indication, that the asset is assigned to be placed within the enclosed storage location;
• in response to determining that the asset is assigned to be placed within the enclosed storage location, transmitting a first notification that the individual person is traveling towards the enclosed storage location;
• and,
• subsequent to providing the first notification:
• receiving the second indication from the reader device;
• determining, based at least in part on the second indication, that the asset has been placed within the enclosed storage location;
• and
• in response to determining that the asset has been placed within the enclosed storage location, providing a second notification indicating that the asset is assigned to be placed within the enclosed storage location.
