Abstract
An event tracking subsystem detects events for the removal of items at a plurality of locations. A data prediction subsystem receives event data based on the detected events that indicates an amount of an item removed from each of the plurality of locations over a previous period of time. The data prediction subsystem determines a prediction data value for each item at each of the plurality of locations. The prediction data is used to proactively request items with improved communication and computational efficiency.
