Abstract
An asset visibility management system for monitoring and managing assets across different domains. The system includes a plurality of proxies such as an originating proxy, a recipient proxy, and other facility proxies that are associated with transport facilities, transfer facilities and storage facilities. The proxies have a transaction component and a visibility component and communicate with each other over a common communication protocol. Each proxy is also individually connected to an associated local asset management system that is different from other local asset management systems connected to other proxies.
