System and Method for Tracking an Agricultural Asset Transferred Among Plural Asset Receiving Devices

摘要

A tracking system is capable of tracking a history of an agricultural asset transferred among a plurality of asset receiving devices using a communications network. The system uses radio-frequency identification tags intermixed with the agricultural asset. A main server, in communication with the network, stores the tag identification of each tag therein. A controller associated with each asset receiving device includes a controller identification, a receiving component for receiving the identification of the tags within the respective asset receiving device, and a transmitting component for transmitting the tag identifications to the main server together with the controller identification. The main server stores a historical record in association with each tag identification that primarily consists of the controller identification of each controller which has transmitted the tag identification to the main server with the respective controller identification associated therewith.
