1. A method for tracking a physical asset using a label affixed to the physical asset, the method comprising the steps of:
a. providing a continuous strip of labels on a reel, each label embedded with a respective Global Resource Locator (GRL) device;
b. peeling a first label from the reel and affixing to the physical asset, thereby associating the physical asset with a unique first GRL device embedded on the first label;
c. receiving logical communications, from multiple reference points, into a radio receiver of the unique first GRL device;
d. determining a location of the unique first GRL device based upon the received logical communications, thereby determining a location of the physical asset;
e. storing location data of the unique first GRL device in a log of the unique first GRL device; and
f. transmitting, based on a predetermined schedule, the stored location data from the log to a smart gateway via a transmitter of the unique first GRL device.
