Abstract
Systems and method for dynamically tracking assets located in different geographic zones are disclosed. Disclosed embodiments include a central zone hosting an inventory system. The inventory system is in network communication with remote zones that include sensors for interrogating tagged assets located in the zones. The inventory system is configured to poll the remote zones to obtain information regarding the tagged assets and store the information in a database. The inventory system may then determine whether any of the received information deviates from an expected result, and take appropriate action in response to the deviation.
