Abstract

We provide a system architecture that applies radio frequency identification and wireless sensor network technologies to automate inventory management and tracking of commercial assets. A set of environment parameters are considered as a result of the environment for which this application serves. To meet system design constraints and application requirements, a system architecture is proposed that automates inventory management and tracking in a large office environment. A prototype implementation applies this system architecture, and provides insight as to areas for further work in data access, network communications, distributed real-time control and monitoring, and advancements in radio frequency identification technology.
