Zusammenfassung:A tracking system (44) for a work tool (32) is disclosed. The tracking system (44) may include a tracking device (46) coupled to the work tool (32) and configured to transmit a work tool (32) identification signal and a scanning device (48) configured to scan and detect the work tool (32) identification signal within the area around the scanning device (48) and the tracking device (46). A locationidentification module (52) and a communication module (54) may be coupled to the scanning device (48) and configured to receive the work tool (32) identification signal, generate a work tool (32) location signal including a location indicator and an identification of the work tool (32), add a date and time stamp to the work tool (32) location signal and transmit the work tool (32) location signalto an asset location center. The tracking system (44) may further include a controller (56) configured to receive and save the work tool (32) location signal with the date and time stamp into an asset location database (68).
