Abstract
A system for precisely locating an asset or measurement point in a physical plant is provided. The system includes a wireless mesh formed by a plurality of transmitters located at known locations disposed throughout the physical plant and a hand held device having an application disposed thereon enabled to triangulate to a precise location in the physical plant by the wireless mesh. The precise location is then overlaid on an asset map displayed on the hand held device having the application. Therefore, knowing the location on the asset map permits the hand held device to precisely display both the particular asset and the particular assets location.
