Abstract: A system includes a bin detector comprising an antenna, a bin configured to accommodate at least one item and having a bin unique identifier, at least one processor to receive a weight of the at least one item from at least one sensor in communication with a scale, and at least one battery to power the system, the bin detector to transmit a first signal, receive a second signal in response to the first signal for each of the at least one item and determine an item unique identifier for each of the at least one item, and transmit the bin unique identifier, the item unique identifier for each of the at least one item, and the weight information to the processor to transmit the bin unique identifier, the item unique identifier for each of the at least one item, and the weight information to a server computing device.

Abstract: Disclosed is an inventory management system capable of tracking and accounting for partially used inventory. The management system for partial inventory contains a scale scanner hardware component and a software database component. The system may also populate input tables for experiments or generate findings based on analyzed managed inventory. Further, the system may create reports based on the findings, which may contain supply and demand forecasts or inventory optimization recommendations.
