1. A system for evaluating and transmitting combined external data from one or more assets, the system comprising:
a central data portal; and
a data processing device communicatively coupled to the central data portal, the data processing device being configured to:
collect sensor data from the one or more assets;
process the sensor data to evaluate status data concerning a status of the one or more assets, wherein the evaluation of the status data is enabled or disabled based on of an indication that a first asset of the one or more assets is located inside a second asset of the one or more assets, the indication being determined based on the sensor data;
transmit the status data to the central data portal, wherein the central data portal is configured to store and visualize the status data;
receive, from a further data processing device, aggregated processed data associated with one or more further assets, the further data processing device being configured to collect, process, and aggregate further sensor data associated with the one or more further assets to obtain the aggregated processed data; and
transmit the aggregated processed data associated with the one or more further assets to the central data portal;
wherein the data processing device and the one or more assets create a network of connected devices, wherein the further data processing device and the one or more further assets create a further network of the connected devices, the network of the connected devices communicating with the further network of the connected devices via a communication channel between the data processing device and the further data processing device.
