## Abstract

An inventory monitoring system preferably includes a computer monitoring device and a plurality of containers. The computer monitoring device includes a computer, an artificial intelligence module, a software a transceiver and a display device. The software program preferably includes compliance tracking, event reporting replacement alerts, video training, log generation, remote inventory checking of each storage container, a list of items to be ordered for the next year and supplying regulator alerts. Each container preferably includes a storage container, a container transceiver, a microcontroller, a battery, a location sensor, an opening and closing sensor, an item tracking sensor, at least one identity monitoring device, a temperature sensor, a humidity sensor and a low battery indicator. A plurality of items are stored in the plurality of containers. The storage container preferably includes a locking cover. The microcontroller will also periodically test all sensors connected thereto.
