Abstract
A tracking system includes a plurality of detectors attached to structural features throughout a facility to detect a tracking element. A data store is configured to store information associated with the tracking element. The information includes user ID information and user-specific authorization privileges that define a level of facility access available to a user with the tracking element. One or more processors are communicatively coupled to the plurality of detectors and the data store to: receive tracking element data from the plurality of detectors, control access of the user within the facility, in response to the tracking element data received via one or more lock mechanisms, and monitor parameters of the system, based on the data received. The parameters includes a number of successful accesses to locations or supplies in the facility, and a duration of time spent in the locations or with the supplies.
