Visible Inventory, a real-time inventory management solution, added two new sensors to its family of sensor-based inventory control products.

The iShelf and iPallet sensors join the iBin sensor family to complete the range of inventory management needs, from the smallest of items up to inventory with a total weight of 5,000 pounds. The iBin, iShelf and iPallet continuously measure inventory by weight, communicating the information via wireless controllers to the Visible inventory SuppliLink software. When an item reaches its reorder point, is at a critical level, or is overstocked, a notification is sent automatically to the supplier via e-mail or fax by SuppliLink so replenishments can be initiated instantaneously.

The iBin sensors are available in standard 5-in., 8-in. and 11-in. sizes, accommodating weights from 0.11 oz. to several pounds. The iShelf sensors come in standard 24 in. x 18 in., and 24 in. x 24 in., with weight ranges from 1.6 oz. to several pounds. The iPallet sensors are available in a standard 48 in. x 48 in. size, with a total capacity of 5,000 pounds. The iPallet is a floor sensor that allows for easy access and maneuvering of all types of load handling equipment.
