ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed a system and method of tracking installed equipment and deploying spare parts. In an embodiment, each piece of equipment may includes a unique electronic identifier configured to be accessible over a data network, and accessible locally via a RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) network. The unique identifier may be read utilizing a RFID reader of known geographic location. Any installed equipment and spare parts deployed in the vicinity of the RFID reader may be identified by their respective unique identifiers, and their geographic location may be tracked and collected at a networked data collection server. Status information for each unit of installed equipment may also be tracked and correlated with the geographic location at the data collection server. Spare parts may be deployed, or redeployed, based on the collected status information for each unit, and the geographic location as identified by the RFID reader.
