Abstract
A monitoring system including one or more processors communicatively connected with a memory, one or more output interfaces, one or more connectivity interfaces and one or more sensors, is attached to a clothing frame. The one or more sensors sense one or more indicators of a status of a clothing item attached to the clothing frame, the one or more sensors attached to the clothing frame and connected to one or more processors, one or more output interfaces, and one or more connectivity interfaces. The monitoring system determines the status information for the clothing item based on the one or more indicators. The monitoring system selectively adjusts an output interface to display the status information. The monitoring system communicates the status information to one or more additional clothing frames via the one or more connectivity interfaces.
