Claim 19:
20. A method for determining quantities of medical supplies comprising:
providing a shelving unit having one or more shelves storing medical supplies, each of the one or more shelves including shelf locations that are discrete locations spread laterally thereacross at which weight supported by the shelf is measurable with weight sensors independent of all others of the shelf locations of that same shelf, and each of the shelf locations including one or more weight sensors for measuring the weight of one of the medical supplies supported thereat;
storing, with a computing system, for each medical supply, a supply identifier and an incremental weight;
storing, with the computing system, for each shelf location, the supply identifier of the medical supply stored therein and one or both of the weight measured by the one or more weight sensors or a quantity of the medical supply stored thereon;
associating each of the shelf locations with only one of the medical supplies at a time;
measuring, with one or more weight sensors, the weights of the medical supplies stored on the shelf locations;
sensing physical activity associated with the shelving unit; and
determining, with the computing system, the quantity of each of the medical supplies at each of the shelf locations according to the incremental weight of the medical supply, the weight measured at the shelf location, and the physical activity detected at the shelf location.
