Abstract: A system for automatic reordering of replenishment stock is described herein. The system generally comprises a storage bin defining a first compartment and a second compartment in proximity to the first compartment where the storage bin is configured to store a predetermined product. A cover assembly may normally restrict access to the second compartment. When the product is exhausted from the first compartment, opening the cover assembly to access the product in the second compartment may trigger a sensor in proximity to the second compartment. This triggering causes the sensor to wirelessly transmit a signal to a processor to reorder a quantity of the product.

Abstract: Inventory management systems using individual modules are described where the system utilizes one or more wireless-connected button modules in which one button module may be located at each item shelf location. The button module is able to transmit and receive wireless signals to and from a central console. Each button module may have at least two buttons, one for removing stock, one for adding. For selected, authorized users, the mode of operation of the button module may be changed in order to perform other functions. The button module may also include either a small alphanumeric display or a bitmap display allowing alphanumeric text of any size and the ability to also display status icons where appropriate. Each button module may also have an LED alert light, a piezo beeper, and the ability to interact with a user via an NFC or RFID chip.
