ABSTRACT:
An object locating, identifying, and tracking system is provided for managing physical objects and people in environments such as police departments, law offices, the Courts, hospitals, warehouses, and department stores. The system employs RFID technology, computer programming and database applications, networking technologies, and hardware elements. Employing its algorithmic decision machine to develop RFID tag operational state data, the system may provide item-level visibility in locating and tracking physical evidence, merchandise, valued items, people and supply chain items in near-real time. The system may be configured as part of a local area network, a wide area network, or the Internet. It may employ exemplary components such as RFID transponders or tags, scanners, antennas and computers to facilitate tracking of objects and people as needed. Any number of users having access privileges and connected to the network may access the system directly or remotely via the Internet to locate and track objects.
