Modular inventory management system

A bin module, comprising:

• a module base having a first lateral edge, a second lateral edge, a top surface that connects the first lateral edge to the second lateral edge, and a bottom surface that is opposite the top surface;
• wherein the bottom surface of the module base is positioned on a top surface of a support plate;
• a first divider at the first lateral edge of the module base;
• a second divider at the second lateral edge of the module base;
• a sensor configuration arranged on the top surface of the module base,
• wherein the sensor configuration includes sensor elements that are configured to sense an object on the module base;
• and
• a lateral adjustment mechanism that is configured to permit a distance between the first divider and the second divider to be adjusted.

An inventory management system, comprising:

• a support plate that includes a communication bus;
• and
• a bin module positioned on a top surface of the support plate, the bin module configured to store one or more objects on the support plate,
• wherein the bin module comprises:
• a sensor configuration of sensor elements arranged on a center axis of the bin module,
• wherein the sensor elements are configured to provide information associated with a status of the bin module that is associated with storing the one or more objects;
• an electrical connector interface that is configured to communicatively couple the sensor elements to the communication bus;
• and
• an adjustable divider that is movable to adjust a width of the bin module while maintaining a position of the sensor configuration arranged on the center axis.
