摘要： Systems for managing linen inventory that, in various embodiments, comprise a plurality of computerized smart bins that each comprise at least one weight sensor that is adapted to measure a weight of linen items within the respective smart bin. In particular embodiments, each respective smart bin is adapted to weigh items within the respective smart bin, determine a current number of items stored within the respective smart bin based on the measured weight of items within the respective smart bin, and communicate an indication of a number of items that need to be added to, or removed from, the smart bin in order to meet a particular inventory objective. The smart bins may be networked together with each other and/or with other smart devices or other computing devices to facilitate managing items within a facility, such as a healthcare facility.
