Device for modifying product inventory

An inventory modification device comprises:

• a network interface;
• memory;
• and
• a processing module operably coupled to the network interface and the memory,
• wherein the processing module is operable to:
• create a plurality of limit tables regarding one or more product components;
• store a plurality of operations, wherein each operation of the plurality of operations includes each of an open operation, a close operation, and one or more component modification operations, wherein the plurality of operations are included in each limit table of the plurality of limit tables, and further wherein each operation of the plurality of operations is in one of three states:
• an active state, a triggered state, and an inactive state;
• store a plurality of operation aspects corresponding to each operation of the plurality of operations, wherein each operation aspect of the plurality of operation aspects includes identity of evaluation data to monitor, evaluation data monitoring criteria, and identity of operational data of a plurality of operational data for processing a product component, of the one or more product components;
• select a product component for processing;
• determine a purpose for processing the product component, wherein the purpose for processing the product component includes at least one of inventory management of the product component, sale of the product component, use of the product component, transfer of the product component, and monitoring particular information regarding the product component;
• in response to determining the purpose for processing the product component, select a limit table of a plurality limit tables regarding the product component;
• receive, via the network interface, the evaluation data;
• identify the evaluation data, based on the selected limit table;
• using the evaluation data monitoring criteria, monitor the identified evaluation data;
• in response to monitoring the identified evaluation data, determine whether an operation of the plurality of operations is in a triggered state;
• and
• in response to determining that an operation of the plurality of operations is in a triggered state, execute one of the plurality of operations on an identified operational data with respect to the product component to modify the product component.
