Database Innovations for Wireless Asset Management Systems
Graphical user interfaces help designers to create use-case studies that will predict how long a device will last in the field. These studies allow the designer to quickly see the effects on battery life if they change reporting intervals, GPS tracking times, and sleep intervals.
Battery-life Projections and GPS Chip Performance
New database actuated software keeps track of how much time was spent in the different operating states and provides an accurate report of how much current has been used and for what purpose. Based on that information, the application—typically either a Web-enabled interface or an enterprise-developed application—can choose to alter the operating parameters. For instance, if it turns out that the device is getting frequent indications of movement but the GPS readings do not indicate and confirm movement, sensitivity settings can be altered remotely and a new battery-life projection will be calculated.
The GPS chip handles location-based services and also is responsible for processing calculations needed for advanced asset tracking services. If a violation is detected, the processor takes over the tracking responsibility while establishing, monitoring, and maintaining the IP connection. The processor also stores all connection parameters and hosts the TCP and UDP stack.
The Final Platform Takes Shape
A core component to the evolution of these next-generation wireless asset management solutions is how they handle the distribution and optimization of device responsibilities within the platform.
Once a model is built, the application will automatically generate the script file needed to configure the device and when it is used in conjunction with the Service Gateway, the settings can be pushed to one or all devices in the field, simplifying maintenance, network tuning, and application performance.
The Database Driven Gateway will store and forward configuration data to the devices and handle all protocol conversions. It will also accept device data and make that data available to standard database applications.
Moving Forward with Hybrid Device-IDs and Financial Databases
Asset management devices, wireless connected, will play a key role in reducing operating expenses and improving business productivity. Through the Internet, this next-generation technology, enables powerful new levels of asset management and permits companies to connect a broader array of devices to their IT and accounting infrastructures.
