Claim One:
1. A system that tracks assets as they move from one location to another location in order to detect anomalies in the movement and/or handling of an asset comprising in combination: a tag attached to each of said assets that stores a code that uniquely identifies each of said assets; a database in which is stored data for each of said assets to which data said code points: a computer processor coupled to said data base; an expert system program coupled to said processor; said processor accessing said expert system program and said data base to classify said assets into classes with common proprieties; a tag reader input device that reads said tag attached to an asset as said asset is moved from one location as it is received at another location, said input device reading the time and location of said one location and said another location; said tag reader input device coupled to said database and storing in said database data parameters including location and time of each location of said assets in accordance with classification to which an asset has been assigned; said processor accessing said expert system program and said data base to build a predictive model for a class from the stored data parameters for assets of that class; said processor accessing said expert system program and said predictive model for a class and comparing said data parameters for an asset movement with said predictive model and generating a flag message when said data parameters do not match said predictive model within predetermined range.
