Asset Management Systems emerged in the late 20th century responding to the industries and organisations’ need for managing and tracking physical assets. As a solution, various industries developed digital tools to enhance asset-related efficiencies. In warehousing and retail, systems for inventory management were introduced to manage stock, plan inventory levels, coordinate deliveries, and streamline operations overall. The field of civil engineering adopted Building Information Modelling (BIM), aimed at creating digital duplicates of infrastructure to monitor its condition and manage the processes of commissioning. or decommissioning. This evolution induced advancements in database management, user interfaces, barcoding, serial numbering among others.

These technologies, addressing a wide range of issues across industries, tend to focus on relatively immobile assets—whether products on shelves in supermarkets and warehouses or buildings whose location remains constant. However, the challenge arises with mobile assets like roller-mounted bins, drills, hammers, and helmets. Tracking and monitoring the availability, location, and condition of such items pose a significant challenge.
