Wireless Sensor Network for Asset Tracking – A Review

This paper describes the review of a radio-based ‘tagging’ system which makes it possible to track down test equipment and computers within the premises . RFID is most widely used technology. This technology is mostly used in tracking applications. Current tracking systems are costly over wireless data transmission systems. A wireless network protocol is propos to minimize the power consumption based on available energy and wireless link conditions in the distributed system. In this review I observed that use of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) to keep track of registered objects within range of the user. RFID implementation has experienced an annual growth rate of 24%. Since the year 2000, rapid growth in the market for RFID is creating the economies of scale necessary to bring costs down to the point where RFID tags will soon be competitive with printed barcodes. The goal of this review is to provide a new security solution for commercial purpose. The device consists of a RFID reader and a control program with a graphical user interface. The assets are attached with RFID tags with unique identifiers for each tag.
