Embodiment Construction

[0025] figure 1 A load monitoring system 10 is shown which allows a user and / or an inventory system to monitor information containing the status of loads placed on load storage devices.

[0026] Load monitoring system 10 typically resides in one or more computers (such as computer 12) connected to a network 14 (such as the Internet, an intranet, a local area network, a virtual private network, or some other form of network) and is operated by a or multiple computers. The instruction set and subroutines for load monitoring system 10 are typically stored on storage device 16 coupled to computer 12 . Storage device 16 may be, for example, a hard drive, tape drive, optical drive, RAID array, random access memory (RAM), or read only memory (ROM). A user 18 or 18' typically interacts with a desktop application 20 or 20' running on a computer 12 or a remote computer 22 (e.g., Microsoft Internet Explorer TM 、Netscape Navigator TM or a dedicated interface) to access, manage and use...

Abstract

A method of monitoring a load includes monitoring an initial state output signal (150) and a current state output signal (154) generated by one or more load sensors (58, 60, 62, 64) positioned about a load storage device (66). The initial and current state output signals (152, 156) are compared to determine changes in the load (68) positioned upon the load storage device (66).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to techniques for tracking the status of stored items. Background technique [0002] Products are often stored in warehousing areas prior to shipment to customers or end users. Frequently, these products are stored on pallets, shelves and tables as well as in bins and storage containers (ie, temporary storage areas). When orders are collected from products stored in warehouse areas, individual items are removed from these temporary storage areas. In addition, items are added to these temporary storage areas when products in the warehouse area are replenished. [0003] Tracking and maintaining correct inventory information about products can be difficult because the number of items stored in temporary storage areas is constantly changing. This in turn may complicate product replenishment handling. Contents of the invention [0004] In one general aspect, a load monitoring method includes monitoring initial state outpu...
