Abstract
A device for monitoring an identification and positioning system may comprise a transceiver and a controller operatively coupled to a memory. The controller may be configured to receive a status signal from the transceiver indicative of an inspection of a component, obtain an identity of the component, a location of the component, and a signal strength of a signal produced by the component, access a record from the memory, determine whether the record includes an identity of the component or a location of the component that matches the obtained identity or location of the component, observe a difference in the obtained signal strength and a signal strength from the record, and send a notification of an issue concerning the component when the difference is outside a range.
