Hello! I'm trying to brainstorm some possible ways to track assets in GIS. I understand it's possible to use a GeoEvent Server with GPS trackers to track things like vehicles and whatnot. However, what I'm looking for is a way to track much smaller assets without the use of GPS, as many assets will be indoors. We are in the process of mapping out all our building floor plans. Can trackers using Wifi somehow be used here instead of GPS? Of course a limiting factor here would be that the trackers/sensors need to be small and have a long battery life.
Anyone have any ideas or input on how this might be done, if at all?
I do realize there are other companies and software/hardware that specialize in this, buuuut in the interest of cost and whatnot it would be great to use something we already have (that something being ArcGIS and Wifi).
