1. A method, comprising:

  • obtaining a unique identifier associated with a tag device, wherein the tag device includes an antenna and a sensor configured to obtain sensor readings that can be wirelessly transmitted to a reader device via the antenna;

    determining, based on the unique identifier, configuration parameters associated with the tag device; and

    storing, in at least one memory in the reader device, at least a portion of the configuration parameters in association with the unique identifier, wherein the portion of the configuration parameters includes calibration information associated with the sensor, such that measured values can be determined based on the sensor readings and the calibration information;

    receiving, by the reader device, data from the tag device, wherein the data is representative of the unique identifier and a sensor reading obtained by the sensor;

    retrieving, by the reader device, the portion of the configuration parameters from the at least one memory based on the unique identifier; and

    determining, by the reader device, a measured value based on the sensor reading and the portion of the configuration parameters.
