Abstract: An edge device receives sensor data from a sensor affixed to a moveable gate. The edge device determines the positional state of the moveable gate based on the sensor data by inputting the received data into a machine learning model or by comparing the sensor data to values associated with a positional state through a calibration process. The edge device stores a log that associates the positional state and sensor data. The edge device determines the health state of the moveable gate using a machine learning model that is trained to predict, based on input of a new log, the health state of the gate. Responsive to determining that the health state of the gate is unhealthy, the edge device triggers a remedial action.

Abstract: RFID tags capable of transitioning between a private state and one or more public states are provided. In the private state, tags may participate in an inventory round without restriction. In a public state, tags may be prevented from participating in an inventory round, allowed to participate without providing actual identifying information, or allowed to participate providing an alternate identifier. Whether and how the tag responds in a public state may depend on certain conditions including if one or more of the tag's flags are asserted or deasserted. A reader may select a public tag for inventorying by verifying itself, and the tag then asserting or deasserting one or more of its flags accordingly. The asserted or deasserted flag(s) may be used to determine whether and how a tag in a public state participates in an inventory round.
