A system includes one or more assets disposed within a physical location. Each asset is coupled to a wireless tag, and each wireless tag is configured to wirelessly transmit beacon signals at predetermined intervals. The system also includes a gateway configured to cover the range of the physical location. The gateway is configured to scan the physical location to identify beacon signals transmitted by each of the wireless tags and receive the beacon signals from each wireless tag at the predetermined intervals. The gateway is also configured to dynamically optimize a function of the gateway by adjusting a current total scan time based at least in part on the number of beacon signals received from previously unknown or new wireless tags disposed within the physical location.

Systems and methods for dynamic optimization of scan time in gateways for asset management

A system includes one or more assets disposed within a physical location, where each asset is coupled to a wireless tag. Each wireless tag is configured to wirelessly transmit beacon signals at predetermined intervals. The system further includes a gateway configured to cover the range of the physical location. The gateway is configured to scan the physical location to identify beacon signals transmitted by each of the wireless tags and receive the beacon signals from each wireless tag at the predetermined intervals. The gateway is also configured to dynamically optimize a function of the gateway by adjusting a scan frequency based at least in part on a variability of the wireless tags disposed within the physical location.
