The MPR location system is based on last known location being captured by all detection devices to consolidate chronologically the movement of items of interest to the organization. All RFID equipment or systems can present themselves as detection devices to the MPR system using a simple API. No amount of data points can be too much for the MPR. The consolidated data can then represented visually on an overlay of the facility for easy understanding. The data can be mined for statistical reporting. This information assists the user by narrowing down the search space to enable location of misplaced items quickly. The user can then also use a UHF handheld unit to further speed up the location of the items.
