Abstract
Embodiments are directed to an inventory system that comprises sensors and a management module to automatically determine an inventory item and its location without requiring hand-scanners. The system may determine that the object being handled is an inventory item at the location of the obstruction based at least on the inventory holder information and the location of the obstruction, and update a relative location of the inventory item based at least in part on the handling of the inventory item.
