1. A method for asset reconciliation, comprising:

  • receiving tag data from a plurality of radio frequency identification tags carrying the tag data, the tag data representative of a plurality of assets;

    identifying characteristics about each of the plurality of assets based on at least a portion of each respective tag data;

    grouping a first plurality of assets based on a common characteristic of the characteristics of the first plurality of assets identified in each respective tag data;

    determining, by at least one processor, a working scan context based on a number of the first plurality of assets having the common characteristic;

    receiving additional tag data from one or more additional radio frequency identification tags carrying the additional tag data, the additional tag data representative of one or more additional assets and including at least one characteristic of the one or more additional assets;

    applying the determined working scan context to the additional tag data from the one or more additional radio frequency identification tags, the applying automatically identifying which assets of the one or more additional assets are to be included in the working context when the common characteristic is included within the additional tag data of the one or more additional assets; and

    dynamically switching the working scan context to a different working scan context, based on tag data received from further radio frequency identification tags, the dynamically switching being responsive to satisfying a condition for switching the working scan context.
