How the e-tag system works
• e-tags serve as electronic transponders and must be fitted
on the rack of the asset.
• gateways /e-tag readers must be configured and
connected to the network
• When the asset passes a gate/building/door where a tag
reader is configured, the e-tag is recognized and an event is
automatically recorded and displayed on a dashboard
• Metadata (reader names and associated route points) is
imported into the system via a file upload
• The etag process will then start to “poll” each reader every
couple of seconds for all the reader events
