Sensor data-based reordering of items

A method comprising:

• receiving, from a customer device of customer, an indication that the customer agrees to participate in a service in which an item is automatically reordered by an entity on behalf of the customer;
• determining an indication that an item tag reader of a reorder device of the customer has detected an item tag that identifies the item;
• receiving, from the reorder device and in response to the item tag reader of the reorder device detecting the item tag, a reorder device identifier (ID) associated with the reorder device and an item ID associated with the item;
• automatically associating, without input from the customer and based at least in part on the item tag reader of the reorder device detecting the item tag, the reorder device ID, and the item ID, the reorder device with the item;
• determining a reorder threshold value for the item based at least in part on a type of the item, a first rate at which the customer has previously used the item, and a second rate at which other customers that are different than the customer have used the item, the reorder threshold value corresponding to a percentage of the item that is remaining on a top surface of the reorder device;
• receiving, from the reorder device, item data indicating a current weight of the item placed on the reorder device and timestamp data indicating a time at which the item data was obtained, the item data being captured by one or more weight sensors that are located within or underneath the top surface of the reorder device in which the item is placed;
• determining that the current weight is equal to or less than the reorder threshold value;
• creating an order for an additional amount of the item to be delivered to a location associated with the customer;
• and
• sending, to the customer, a notification indicating that the item has been reordered and that the customer has been charged for the additional inventory of the item.

A system comprising:

• memory;
• one or more processors;
• and
• one or more computer-executable instructions stored in the memory and executable by the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
• receiving, from a customer device of customer, an indication that the customer agrees to participate in a service in which an item is automatically reordered by an entity on behalf of the customer;
• determining an indication that an item tag reader of a reorder device of the customer has detected an item tag that identifies the item;
• receiving, from the reorder device and in response to the item tag reader of the reorder device detecting the item tag, a reorder device identifier (ID) associated with the reorder device and an item ID associated with the item;
• automatically associating, without input from the customer and based at least in part on the item tag reader of the reorder device detecting the item tag, the reorder device (ID), and the item ID, the reorder device with the item;
• receiving, from the reorder device, item data indicating a current weight of the item placed on the reorder device and timestamp data indicating a time at which the item data was determined, the item data being captured by one or more weight sensors that are located within or underneath a top surface of the reorder device in which the item is placed;
• determining a reorder threshold value associated with the item based at least in part on a type of the item, a first rate at which the customer has previously used the item, and a second rate at which one or more other customers that are different than the customer have used the item, the reorder threshold value corresponding to a percentage of the item that is remaining on the top surface of the reorder device;
• determining that the current weight is equal to or less than the reorder threshold value;
• and
• causing fulfilment of an order for an additional amount of the item to be delivered to a location associated with the customer.
