Abstract

An asset guardian system may comprise a server including a processor with memory and a database. The processor may be configured to receive asset information regarding a plurality of assets and update the database with the received asset information. A mobile device may be configured to change at least one of the assets from a disabled condition to an enabled condition in response to an asset code from the server. At least one of the plurality of assets may be configured to authenticate the asset code and register the asset code with the server thereby updating the asset information on the database. At least one of the plurality of assets may further be configured to be operatively paired with a respective socket.
