Abstract: An inventory system includes one or more shelving units and an inventory computing system. The shelving units each include shelves for storing medical supplies, a control system, and a communications interface. The shelves include shelf locations that each include one or more weight sensors for measuring weight thereon. The control system is in communication with the weight sensors for receiving measurement signals therefrom and causing the communications interface to send weight measurements for each of the shelf locations of each of the shelves determined according to the measurement signals. The inventory computing system is in communication with each of the shelving units via a network to receive the weight measurements for the shelf locations. The inventory computing system determines quantities of the medical supplies stored on each of the shelf locations according to the one or more weight measurements.
