Airtags are VERY low-power devices with a tiny battery (advertised to last abt a year); they only send their signal to surrounding un-paired “relay” devices periodically. (approx every 15m).

iPhones by comparison have “oodles” of power and require constant recharging.

I see a lot of mentions of “Tile” devices, but I do not know anything about how their technology works, or their suitability for your applications.

Sorry.
