Abstract: An inventory tracking scaled locking canister has a housing, a closure, a commodity container positioned within the housing and releasably sealed within the housing by the closure through an electrically disengageable magnetic locking mechanism, at least one weight sensor, a processing unit, a biometric sensor, a digital display, a data storage unit, a wireless communication device, a power source, and a GPS module. The commodity container may have multiple nested frames with perforations that allow smaller byproducts of the contents of the central frame to be separated from the bulk of the contents. The weight of each frame is measured individually through one or more load cells. The biometric sensor prevents unauthorized access to the commodity container. The processing unit facilitates data collection, storage, and transmittal through the wireless communication device to a remote server. The GPS module tracks the location of the canister in case of theft.
