Abstract

Systems and methods for tracking inventory are provided herein. In some embodiments, a method for tracking inventory includes receiving weight sensor data representing a weight of a physical item in the storage unit, adding the weight of the physical item to a profile corresponding to the physical item, determining that the weight of the physical item is less than a predetermined threshold weight associated with the physical item, generating notification information associated with the physical item, and sending the notification information. In some embodiments, a method for tracking inventory includes receiving sensor data representing a location of a physical item, adding the location of the physical item to a profile corresponding to the physical item, receiving audio data representing a request for the location of the physical item, retrieving the location of the physical item from the profile, generating responsive data representing the of the physical item, and sending the responsive data.
