Abstract
The disclosed is a tracking system comprises RF tags/beacons and a Hub (Parent Node) (100) for centralized control, with Bi-directional serial communication (101) linking the Parent Node to Wireless Nodes (Child Nodes) (102). Data transfer occurs via a Cellular Network (106) to a cloud-based system featuring a user interface (108) for user instructions and result display, a Database (111) for storing asset data, and an Analytics Engine (110) for organizing data based on received asset-related information. The system ensures precise monitoring and scanning of RF tags/beacons for enhanced tracking accuracy. The present disclosure also relates to a method for asset tracking by way of the tracking system (10).
Claims10
A tracking system (10) comprising:
- a. A plurality of RF tags/beacons and Hub (Parent Node) (100) that are adapted to asset identification and tracking facilitating a centralized control and communication hub respectively;
- b. Bi-directional serial communication (101) this adapted to establish a link between the Parent Node (100) and a plurality of Wireless Nodes (Child Nodes) (102);
- c. a Cellular Network (106) that is adapted to transfer the data across the hub and a cloud-based system;
- d. a cloud based system that is communicatively coupled with the hub (100), the cloud-based system comprises:
- i. an user interface (108) that is adapted to receive one or more instructions from a user and display one or more result with the user;
- ii. a Data processing (109) that is adapted to process the data received data from nodes into information;
- iii. a Database (111) that may be adapted for storing asset-related data;
- iv. an Analytics Engine (110) for that is adapted for transforming and organizing data based on the received asset-related data;
- Wherein the system enables accurate monitoring and scanning of RF tags/beacons to enhance tracking precision.
A method for asset tracking comprising:
- a. identifying and tracking assets using a plurality of RF tags/beacons and a Hub (Parent Node) (100) providing centralized control and communication;
- b. establishing communication between the Parent Node (100) and a plurality of Wireless Nodes (Child Nodes) (102) via Bi-directional serial communication (101);
- c. transferring data across a Cellular Network (106) between the Hub and a Cloud-based system;
- d. receiving instructions from a user via a user interface (108) and displaying corresponding results by way of the cloud-based system;
- e. storing asset-related data in a Database (111) by way of the cloud-based system;
- and
- f. transforming and organizing data utilizing an Analytics Engine (110) based on received asset-related data by way of the cloud-based system, wherein the method enables accurate monitoring and scanning of RF tags/beacons to enhance tracking precision.
