Abstract: A system and a method for monitoring a location of a mobile RFID reader are provided. The system includes an active RFID tag disposed on the mobile RFID reader configured to transmit a first RF signal. The system further includes a first stationary RFID reader configured to receive the first RF signal. The first stationary RFID reader is further configured to send a first message having data associated with the first RF signal to a computer. The computer is configured to determine a first location of the mobile RFID reader at a first time based on the data associated with the first RF signal. The computer is further configured to store first location data indicating the first location of the mobile RFID reader in a memory device.

Abstract: Processing raw data includes receiving raw data. The raw data includes tag identifiers associated with one or more tags detected during a number of detection events. The tag identifiers are filtered to yield one or more unique tag identifiers. A unique tag identifier corresponds to a tag of the tags. The unique tag identifiers are converted to at least one business object. At least one business rule is applied to the business object to generate a response, and the response is performed.
