  • Publication number: 20240107271
    Abstract: A system includes a first asset coupled to a first wireless tag. The first wireless tag is configured to wirelessly transmit radio wave signals at pre-determined intervals. The system also includes a first gateway configured to cover the range of a first physical location. The first gateway is configured to receive the radio wave signals from one or more wireless tags, where each wireless tag of the one or more wireless tags is coupled to an asset. The system also includes a remote asset management platform configured to receive information from one or more gateways about a plurality of wireless tags. The information includes an event indicating the status of the first asset associated with the first wireless tag. The remote asset management platform also tracks the physical location of the first asset based on the information received from one or more gateways about the plurality of wireless tags.

  • Publication number: 20240104492
    Abstract: A system includes one or more assets loaded onto or removed from a vehicle, where each asset is coupled to a wireless tag and each wireless tag wirelessly transmits beacon signals at predetermined intervals. The system includes a gateway disposed within the vehicle. The gateway includes one or more sensors that gather motion and/or vibration information. The gateway scans an area of the vehicle at a duty cycle to identify beacon signals transmitted by the wireless tags and receives the beacon signals from the wireless tags. The gateway dynamically adjusts the duty cycle based in part on the detected motion and/or vibration information and a history of previously detected motion and/or vibration information.

  • Publication number: 20230292235
    Abstract: A system includes one or more assets loaded into and/or removed from a vehicle. Each asset is coupled to a wireless tag, and each wireless tag is configured to wirelessly transmit beacon signals at predetermined intervals. The system includes a gateway disposed within the vehicle, where the gateway is configured to receive power from a power source. The gateway is configured to scan an area of the vehicle at a duty cycle to identify beacon signals transmitted by the wireless tags, receive the beacon signals from the wireless tags, and optimize the duty cycle based in part on an amount of time the gateway has been in a low power mode.
