Abstract
An interactive tool storage system may include an enclosure with a storage bin and a sensor system configured to detect the interaction of a person with the storage unit. A data acquisition system may collect data from a sensor in the sensor system. The system may include a power module, electric circuit, and data circuit to operably couple the system components. A network interface may enable the input and output of electrical power and data while a data storage system with a writeable memory may collect and record sensor inputs and system outputs. The system may include a non-transitory machine readable memory to store program instructions and a data processor configured to read/write data to the system memory, manipulate data and perform logical operations, interact with sensor system and networked devices; and present a user interface through which the user may interact with the system.
