1. A method of locating mobile assets in an environment using a wireless sensing system, comprising:
deploying a plurality of tape nodes in the environment, at least a portion of the tape nodes each associated with a respective mobile asset;
detecting and storing location, status and movement data of the mobile assets using the plurality of tape nodes; and
processing the stored location, status and movement data to determine when the asset is being used, is in storage, and is misplaced
wherein determination of whether the asset is being used, in storage, and misplaced includes analyzing historical data of the plurality of tape nodes indicating prior location and time, or proximity of nodes associated with the mobile assets to other wireless nodes in the environment.
