1. A system for determining a load status of an asset container, comprising:
a first tape node having a first low-power wireless-communications interface and a first camera, the first tape node operable to capture and transmit a first image; and
a second tape node, comprising:
a second camera;
a second low-power wireless-communication interface;
a processor; and
memory communicatively coupled with the processor and storing machine-readable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
receive, from the first tape node, the first image;
capture a second image using the second camera;
perform computer vision techniques on the first and second images to generate the load status of the asset container; and
transmit the load status to a nearby node.
