Systems and methods for saving battery life in a sensor tag for tools

Abstract

A method includes measuring raw sensor information of a tool over a period of time with a sensor tag coupled to an external surface of the tool. The method also includes determining one or more events of the tool based on the raw sensor information and advertising a beacon signal at pre-determined intervals to locate a remote computing device. The method also includes wirelessly transmitting a history of the raw sensor information and/or the one or more events over the period of time from the sensor tag to the remote computing device.
