Abstract
An asset visibility management system that comprises a common sytem backbone, an asset transaction system interface, and an asset data acquisition and communication device interface. The asset transaction system interface provides communications between the common system backbone and one of a plurality of asset transaction systems. The asset data acquisition and communication device interface provides communication between the common system backbone and a plurality of data acquisition and communication devices. Each of the data acquisition and communication devices are assigned to predefined categories. The predefined categories may include a substantially continuous location category, a substantially non-continuous location category, an identification category, a sensor category, and a time stamp category.
