[0032] The area classification module 2 is divided into several sub-area modules 21, and a single sub-area module 21 is used to manage asset information of one category; a single sub-area module 21 has independent operation authority and access authority; various asset information of the enterprise can be classified and managed, and after classifying different types of assets, specific assets that need to be found can be quickly located according to their category attributes; for example, fixed assets are divided into categories such as production equipment and office equipment. When the production department needs to maintain a certain equipment, it can find the equipment quickly and accurately, saving time and labor costs; at the same time, clear classification also helps enterprise employees to grasp the enterprise asset situation more quickly and improve work efficiency.

[0033] The communication module 3 includes a main communication node 31 and several branch communication nodes 32. The main communication node 31 and several branch communication nodes 32 communicate with each other by establishing direct connection or indirect connection. A single branch communication node 32 is set in a sub-area module 21. The communication module 3 adopts a combination of wired and wireless communication technologies, such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, ZigBee, LoRaWAN, NB-IoT. The communication module 3 performs communication transmission according to the distribution range, mobility and requirements for data transmission speed and stability of the assets, and selects a suitable communication method to ensure that the asset information can be transmitted in a timely and accurate manner. By setting up a communication module 3 composed of a main communication node 31 and several branch communication nodes 32, several branch communication nodes 32 can cooperate with the sub-area module 21 for independent communication. Different sub-area modules 21 have different business needs, asset types and management priorities. The independent operation of the sub-area module 21 can be customized according to their own characteristics. Management, better adapt to the actual situation; for example, asset management in the production area may focus on equipment maintenance and updating, while the office area pays more attention to the management and saving of office supplies. Independent operation allows each sub-region to develop its own management strategy; when a sub-region encounters special circumstances or changes in demand, the independently operated module can respond quickly without affecting other regions. For example, if a sub-region needs to urgently increase asset procurement due to business expansion, independent operation can allow the region to quickly start the procurement process without interfering with the asset management rhythm of the entire enterprise.

[0034] The asset positioning module 4 obtains the location information of the asset in real time by connecting to various sensors; specifically, the sensors used in the asset positioning module 4 include GPS, RFID, Bluetooth, etc. For assets such as mobile devices or vehicles, GPS sensors can be used for positioning; for indoor assets, RFID or Bluetooth technology can be used for positioning.

[0035] The asset status monitoring module 5 uses sensors to collect the operating status data of the assets, and analyzes and processes the collected operating status data to determine whether the assets are in normal operating status; when the asset status is abnormal, the system can automatically issue an early warning message to remind the management personnel to deal with it in time to avoid equipment failure or damage; the operating status data includes parameters such as temperature, humidity, pressure, current, voltage, etc. of the equipment, as well as information such as the frequency and time of use of the assets.

[0036] The data update module 6 establishes communication with one or more sub-regional modules 21 in the regional classification module 2 through the communication module 3, and updates the asset status in the system according to the monitoring of the asset status monitoring module 5, which is beneficial for the enterprise to optimize the asset availability according to the inventory data, improve the asset utilization and efficiency, and reduce operating costs; the data update module 6 also has an automatic update sub-module, which establishes communication with all sub-regional modules 21 in the regional classification module 2, and is used to automatically and regularly update the asset information. By setting up a data update module 6, the data update module 6 has the functions of automatic full update and partial update by establishing communication. For some asset data that can obtain information through system connection or data interface, such as equipment operation time, inventory quantity changes, etc., automatic update can reflect these dynamic changes in real time, which can ensure that the asset information is always kept up to date and avoid decision-making errors caused by information lag; for example, in a manufacturing enterprise, automatic update can timely reflect the consumption of raw material inventory so that the purchasing department can arrange replenishment in time to ensure the continuity of production; but for some asset information, it may not be possible to obtain it automatically or requires manual verification. For example, for the value assessment of some special assets, the description of the use status of assets, etc., it may be necessary for professionals to conduct on-site inspections and judgments and then manually enter and update them to provide more accurate information. Manual update can play a role in these cases to ensure the comprehensiveness and accuracy of asset information.

[0037] The asset management system is also provided with a map module 8. The asset positioning module 4 uses sensors to obtain the location information of the assets and marks them in the map module 8 to form an asset map, which intuitively displays and updates the current location of the assets in real time, making it convenient for managers to grasp the dynamics of the assets at any time; when the asset location exceeds the preset range or abnormal movement occurs, the system will issue an alarm.
