Abstract
The inventory management system ('the system') includes a series of bar codes and a bar code reader. The bar codes are placed around the inventory storage area on or near containers which store inventory items. The bar codes identify the contents of the container. The system includes a bar code reader and an augmented reality viewing device. The system includes a processor which stores instructions for identifying the bar codes associated with each of the inventory items in an order. When the bar code reader scans a bar code associated with an item in the order, the augmented reality viewing device emits a cue that indicates the item should be picked. The containers may be connected to sensors which detect when an item has been removed and which transmit the sensor data to a processor. The processor may include instructions for processing the sensor data to maintain a current inventory.
