Systems, computer-readable instructions, and methods for storing products are disclosed. For example, the system may include modular shelving units that include a shelf which is placeable on a rack, the shelf including a platform, the shelf having a weight sensor below the platform, the platform is configured to support N number of holders, each of the N holders configured to store products, each shelf further having N−1 optical sensors below the N−1 holders when the N−1 holders are supported by the platform and N−1 windows above the N−1 optical sensors, the N−1 optical sensors being in proximity of the N−1 holders, respectively, wherein each holder includes an opening, wherein when a holder is on the shelf, the opening is capable of being aligned with an optical sensor, the shelf further having a processing circuit coupled to the N−1 optical sensors and the weight sensor.

Inventory system and methods of using the same

Medical product storage device

The present disclosure is directed to a dispenser that includes a receiving opening configured to receive a plurality of medical products into a cavity of the dispenser as an available inventory, wherein each of the plurality of medical products includes an identifier; a plurality of holders in the cavity, each of the plurality of holders configured to store at least one of the plurality of medical products in a fixed location that is associated with the one of the plurality of medical products, and each of the plurality of holders including a dispensing opening; at least two emitters and at least two sensors around a periphery of the receiving opening, wherein the at least two emitters and the at least two sensors are arranged around a periphery of the receiving opening on a plane that is substantially perpendicular to the plurality of dispensing openings; a processor; and a electronic storage device.

Storage shelving unit

Systems, computer-readable instructions, and methods for dispensing and tracking medical products in various medical locations are disclosed. For example, the system may include a server which receives one or more requests for types of medical products from one or more client devices, determines whether the requested types and quantities are available in a dispenser and issues an instruction to the dispenser to automatically dispense the requested medical products and quantities. The server may receive confirmation after the types of medical products are dispensed from the dispenser and update a database. The server may receive unused and used medical product information from a client device and reconcile with restocked medical product information from the dispenser. Available types of medical products and quantities, usage reports and recommendations may be viewed via a Platform by one or more client devices. The dispenser may receive requests directly from a client device for medical products.
