Abstract
An inventory control system in which local units having inventories continually and serially transmit data only in a local area to users having portable receivers which store and display when requested the inventory status of a particular item. The local units also transmit to a central computer their current inventory status so that additional local units may request inventory status in another local area from the central computer.
