Abstract

A system (10) for a facility including a server (12) coupled to a database (40), a plurality of tags (22, 24) coupled to a plurality of assets, each tag (22, 24) being configured to transmit a tag ID that is uniquely associated in the database (40) with data describing the asset, a plurality of first transceivers (18, 20) for receiving tag IDs and transmitting the tag IDs and a transceiver ID to the server (12), which is configured to update the database (40) with location information for the asset to indicate that the asset is adjacent the transceiver (18, 20), and a plurality of portable client devices (26) configured to wirelessly transmit to the server (12) a client device ID that is uniquely associated in the database (40) with a user of the client device (26), whereby, in response to receipt of the client device ID, the server (12) is configured to update the database (40) with location information for the user to indicate a location of the user.
