Abstract
An apparatus comprises a memory communicatively coupled to a processor. The memory may be configured to store tag identifiers, asset names, geofences, and asset location information. The processor may be configured to obtain a tag identifier and an asset name of a tagged device; determine whether the asset location information comprises global positioning coordinates of the tagged device. Further, in response to determining that the asset location information comprises the global positioning coordinates, the processor may be configured to determine that the tagged device is located in a predefined area based at least in part upon matching the global positioning coordinates to a geofence; and generate an update indicating that the tagged device is located in the predefined area. In response to determining that the asset location information does not comprise the global positioning coordinates, generate an alert indicating that the tagged device is not located in the predefined area.
