Patent ID: 10776594

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a system and method for tracking of one or more discrete objects at one or more discrete positions, the system including: a discrete position reading system, the discrete position reading system including one or more discrete position detectors (DPDs), each DPD comprising a tag reader, the tag reader operative to read an identity tag associated with the one discrete object to placement of any one discrete object at any one discrete position; a discrete object tracking system, the discrete object tracking system including one or more discrete object detectors (DODs), each DOD in communication with one or more DPDs to record discrete object information for each discrete object, the discrete object information including the identity tag in combination with a timestamp from when the identity tag was last read and a location identifier associated with the DPD where the identity tag was read; and a data store, the data store in communication with the DODs and operative to store discrete object information received from the DODs; such that the data store and the stored discrete object information is user-accessible to provide location information for each of the one or more discrete objects.
