Abstract
This disclosure describes, in part, techniques for identifying facility status updates using opportunistic data gathering from independently controlled devices operated by users within the facility. For instance, system(s) may determine first status information for inventory and/or locations within the facility and determine associated freshness scores. In response to a freshness score being below a threshold level, the system may determine imaging locations for the independently controlled devices to be positioned at to capture image data to update information on the inventory or locations. The system may receive uploaded image data from a fleet device after it opportunistically reaches the imaging location and captures image data. The system may then update the facility status information and the freshness score for the particular location.
