Definitions

  • This disclosure relates to the auditing of assets. In its several aspects a method for auditing assets and apparatus for auditing assets are disclosed. Background
  • Asset management is a critical part of any business that has ownership interest in one or more assets, particularly when those assets are high in number, dispersed over a wide geographical area, and capable of being dismantled or moved.
  • an “asset” in this context is meant a tangible asset such as plant or equipment.
  • owners of assets should like to be able clearly to identify which assets belong to them and also know where assets are located along with their condition and usage data.
  • the first component of asset management is for an asset register of sufficient integrity to be maintained that will enable the owner of assets to accurately identify each asset that they own.
  • Such data should include an asset's make, model, serial number and details of any options that may be fitted.
  • the collation of data of this kind has typically been a manual process, whereby asset identification data is input into an asset management IT system from data contained on the original invoice for particular assets.
  • the invoice may contain insufficient or incomplete asset identification detail, such as absence of serial numbers; and the asset owner may not make further enquiries in order to determine the missing information.
  • asset identification data is input into an asset management IT system from data contained on the original invoice for particular assets.
  • the invoice may contain insufficient or incomplete asset identification detail, such as absence of serial numbers; and the asset owner may not make further enquiries in order to determine the missing information.
  • asset identification data other important data for asset management include where an asset is located and its condition and usage. Even where it may not be practicable or cost-
  • an audit of the location, condition and usage of an asset will involve sending a person to physically verify an asset's location and condition, or fixing a tracking device to an asset that regularly transmits its location via satellite or mobile phone networks to the asset's owner. Both of these options involve significant costs, and are generally only considered cost-effective for very high value assets.
  • Dealerships selling motor vehicles, or other assets need to perform regular checks on their inventory to confirm the existence and location of assets that are in stock. This is needed for internal control and statutory audit purposes.
  • Such dealerships use stock management IT systems that record the location of each individual asset following a physical check.
  • larger dealerships may occupy multiple sites, with stock assets often being moved between these sites. Such movements are not always recorded in their stock management system.
  • dealerships currently need to perform physical, on-site inventory audits at each of their sites on a regular basis. Such audits are time- consuming and costly to perform.
  • the present disclosure adopts a different approach to the auditing of assets, by which term we include checking on the existence and/or status not only of a plurality of assets, but even of a single asset.
  • this is inherently less costly, more reliable, and more accurate than current auditing systems involving physical checks, and is readily scalable to businesses of different sizes.
  • a system for auditing assets comprises: a communications network; at least one data input station adapted to communicate with the communications network, at which data input station data relating to an asset located at the station and bearing a machine readable encoded identification may be inputted, the data input station being adapted to communicate asset-related data to the communications network; a remote server coupled to the communications network, and adapted to receive asset-related data communicated to the network by said at least one data input station and to store such data in memory associated with the remote server; the remote server being further adapted to control and direct the at least one data input station for inputting of asset-related data; at a said data input station, both a code reader associated with a User and adapted to read a machine readable encoded identification borne by an asset located at said data input station and to a camera associated with the User and adapted to record an image of said machine readable encoded identification and/or of said asset; both the code reader and the camera being adapted for coupling to the communications network at the data input station for

  • the machine readable encoded identification includes data adapted for interaction with said applications software when read to cause said applications software automatically to communicate asset-rated data included in said machine readable encoded identification to said remote server via the communications network.
  • the remote server is adapted to communicate with a said smartphone via the communications network providing messages directing the User for operation of the smartphone in sequential steps to read a said machine readable encoded identification and to record an image of the machine readable encoded identification and/or of the asset using the smartphone' s camera and to communicate such recorded image(s) to the remote server, and optionally to enter additional alphanumeric asset-related data via a keyboard associated with the smartphone, such additional alphanumeric asset-related data, optionally including one or more of make, model, serial number, condition and usage of the asset, and for communicating such additional alphanumeric asset-related data to said remote server.
  • the remote server preferably includes an interrogation engine adapted to interrogate the communications network and or the data input station to identify the geographical location of the data input station; and the memory associated with the remote server being adapted to associate asset-related data communicated to said server from a said data input station with said geographical location in an asset audit database.
  • the system preferably also includes at least one data display station coupled to the network at (a) location(s) optionally remote from the remote server, said at least one data display station being adapted for password-controlled access via the communications network to said asset audit database or to selected data entries therein.

  • QR codes can be read by Google's mobile AndroidTM operating system via the Google GogglesTM application or via certain third-party barcode scanner applications; Nokia's SymbianTM operating system is provided with a barcode scanner, which is able to read QR codes; although Apple's operating system for its iPhoneTM smartphone does not include a QR code reader, QR Code reading apps can be freely downloaded for the iPhoneTM mobile phone; and BlackBerryTM devices include a scanner for QR codes.
  • An example of a QR code is shown at 1 on label 3.
  • a two- dimensional barcode may be applied to an asset, including printing the two-dimensional barcode on to an asset label that is then fixed to the asset, incorporating the two- dimensional barcode into the manufacturer's identification plate, or by printing, etching or otherwise marking the two-dimensional barcode directly on to the asset itself.

  • Fig. 1 also shows a company logo 7 on the asset label 3. This will enable a lessor for the asset to mark their asset with a visual statement as to their ownership interest, thereby deterring certain frauds perpetrated by lessees, such as fraudulent multiple lease financing. Fraudulent multiple lease financing is where a lessee undertakes a sale and leaseback (whereby the purported owner of the asset raises funds by selling it to a lessor who then immediately leases it back) with more than one lessor at the same time. Typically, when approached for a sale and leaseback deal, a lessor will conduct an on-site inspection of the asset prior to completing the transactions and releasing funds and is likely to notice any on-asset statement of interest from another lessor.

Although this will result in server 5 accessing the related data in its asset audit database and interrogating the geographical location, it will initially display only very limited data on display screen 18 of smartphone 7, as shown in Fig. 5. In this case, all that is displayed is the asset's make, model and serial number at 19, together with input fields for the User to input their username 20 and password 21 to fully log-in to the system.
  • the present system provides a simple method of capturing the initial asset identification data and also the geographic location of the asset, and this data is suitably verified or amended each time an on-going audit is performed for the asset in question.
  • the capture of a recorded image of the asset itself enables visual inspection to confirm that the asset still exists, is in serviceable condition, and has not been altered in unauthorised fashion.
  • Digital images should be date-stamped on capture confirming that the image was captured at the time of the audit.
  • Printed RFID labels are readily available commercially. While the geometry of individual labels will differ, a RFID label 23 will comprise a label substrate 24 bearing both a data chip 25 input with a unique code and an antenna 26 coupled to the chip in an electronic circuit and, where the label is active as opposed to passive, also a battery to increase read range. Preferred RFID labels for our purpose also incorporate anti-tamper features whereby the label is made inoperable if removed from an asset. This can be achieved, for example, by using adhesive compounds of different strengths in the label between the substrate and the antenna and chip, so that the antenna is destroyed if an attempt is made to remove the label from the asset. In some anti-tamper labels, the effect of removing an affixed label may also remove the chip from a circuit including the antenna.
  • a RFID label may be printed with a QR code 1, so that one and the same label serves both as a QR label and as a RFID label, and, by virtue of the anti-tamper features discussed above, can readily indicate whether the label has been removed from the asset to which it was affixed.
  • Some RFID labels operate over a short range, in which case a portable RFID reader will need to used in proximity to the smartphone. Connection between the reader and the smartphone may be by cable, as for example via a USB cable, but we prefer the use of a mobile, battery operated, RFID reader 27 with BluetoothTM connectivity to the smartphone. Suitable such readers are readily available from various sources.
  • the advantage of employing additional RFID technology, especially with the tamper-proof label technology is that the RFID label must be present in the immediate proximity of the reader to be read, confirming that the specific asset to which the label is affixed is at the GPS location of the smartphone at the time the reading is taken, whereas someone intent upon a fraudulent audit might seek to use the smartphone to read a photocopied version of the QR code and use the camera to take an image of a different, but closely similar asset present at the GPS location when the real asset is elsewhere.
  • the audit additionally to require a RFID label to be read.
  • the data record (Fig. 3) for a particular asset may be viewed (if not also amended) by any authorised User having need to check the asset database.
  • Reports 28 (Fig. 4) and alerts can also be generated.
  • assets may be leased by Lessor 29 to a Lessee 30 for a specific geographical area. Since the geographical location of any particular asset is recorded each time an audit is conducted, any unexpected location 31 may be recorded in Report 28.
  • the system can provide both improved data integrity and a richness in available data not previously available for lessors, dealers, manufacturers and end users who may employ the system.
  • the system will deter lessee fraud, as the lessee will be aware of the lessor's greater interest and control over the asset.
  • the location of an asset or stock item and its visible appearance can be determined whenever desired by requiring an audit to be conducted.
  • Asset owners are able to access the available data as desired for the benefit of their business, including enhancement of their asset management processes by greater control and visibility over their asset portfolios.
