1. A system for storing a plurality of tangible assets, the system comprising:
an RF component, wherein the RF component is associable with a tangible asset, and wherein the RF component has a unique identifier and is configured to receive a carrier signal and emit a modulated carrier signal, wherein modulation of the carrier signal is based on the unique identifier;
an RF detection system, comprising:
a plurality of RF coils, wherein each coil is arranged to emit a carrier signal and receive the modulated carrier signal emitted by the RF component;
a processor in communication with each of the plurality of RF coils, wherein the processor is configured to:
poll the plurality of RF coils by selectively allowing current to flow through one or more of the plurality of RF coils at a time; and,
identify the RF component based on modulation of the carrier signal;
wherein the RF component is a read/write RF component, and wherein the RF detection system is configured to write to the RF component via any of the plurality of RF coils;
wherein the unique identifier of the RF component is a first unique identifier;
wherein the RF component stores a second unique identifier;
wherein the RF detection system is a first RF detection system; and,
wherein the system for storing a plurality of tangible assets comprises a second RF detection system; and,
wherein the second unique identifier is recognisable at the second RF detection system, networked to the system for storing a plurality of tangible assets, wherein the first RF detection system is configured to update the second unique identifier.
