  • Patent number: 11748705
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for tracking and managing location information for automobile assets. By affixing passive transmitter tags with unique identification information to automobile assets, location information may be associated with designated areas and/or location information by scanning the passive transmitter tags at various scan points. The location and automobile asset information may be stored, read, and updated in a centralized cloud database platform, accessible at varying levels to suppliers, manufacturers, shippers, and others.

  • Patent number: 11138553
    Abstract: A system that utilizes two different types of RFID data capture devices; at least one standard fixed RFID portal (e.g., one reader and two antennas) and at least one handheld or mobile RFID device in combination with passive RFID tags (i.e., transmitters). The system acquires, tracks, and reports asset location specific to a manufacturing plant and storage yard (i.e., the inventory), as well as production milestone events. GPS asset location data is tracked almost continuously and reported on demand.
