Asset Management: The Problem First-class asset management is essential for good stewardship of DOE resources Wall-to-Wall inventory at PNNL has been conservatively estimated at $115k/year* (direct costs) Indirect costs are unknown Staff efforts redirected from projects One data point The longer between inventories, the harder assets may be to find and more likely to be lost * Based on inventory of all tagged property

Three-Phase Pilot 7 Non-Networked Property (Phase 3) Wired (Phase 2) 0 15,000 30,000 Wireless (Phase 1)

Pilot Phase 1: Wireless Devices (Complete) Result: ~50% of population seen (2,723 of 5,615 items) Reasons: Only 75% of population registered for use on our networks 63% of registered wireless assets seen Cultural: staff used to manual inventory method Lesson: Must have a good tie between MAC address and property number 8

Pilot Phase 2: Wired Devices (in progress) 75% of items last seen within 24 hrs Wired devices talk on networks very frequently Should be relatively easy to track 9

Benefits ~30,000 tagged property items Previous method: $115k/year for one data point Current: 2,700 wireless items successfully tracked using networks Continuous data Future: up to 30,000 items could be tracked using existing network architecture Continuous data 10 Non-Networked Property (Phase 3) Wired (Phase 2) 0 15,000 30,000 Wireless (Phase 1)

The future: Developing areas of Location Basic Location (x/y, civic, geo) Asset Management Real Time Location Services (basic location + timeliness) Tracking high valued items or processes Presence (basic location + context) available/unavailable Staffing, best form of contact (call (ring vs. vibrate), IM, , page, etc) Telemetry and sensors (basic location + environment) Temp, pressure, shock, etc Authentication (basic location + role) What something or someone can do based on its location 13
