ABSTRACT:
A rack sensor controller is operable to sense information for assets housed in a rack. The rack sensor controller includes a memory storing a location of the rack and sensor information received from a plurality of sensors. At least some of the sensors include one or more RFID readers operable to read RFID tags attached to assets housed in the rack. A processor is operable to receive the sensor information and generate a message including the sensor information and the location of the rack for transmission to one or more back-end applications via a forwarder. The forwarder is operable to receive the message, determine one or more back-end applications to receive the message, replicate the message for each of the back-end applications, and transmit the message to the back-end applications. The back-end applications use the location of the rack and the sensor information to track the assets.
