    Abstract: An inventory receptacle can include a body that includes a plurality of walls arranged to at least partially bound a storage volume. A computer-readable identifier connected with the body may be associated with an electronically-stored record about items registered as being present in the storage volume. A cover may be detachably coupled with the body so as to at least partially bound the storage volume in an arrangement that blocks access to the computer-readable identifier and to the storage volume. The cover may be configured for detachment from the body so as to allow access to the computer-readable identifier and the storage volume.

    Abstract: Features are disclosed for using location awareness, bin capacity, and environmental cues to provide in context guidance to the associate when stowing items such as at a fulfillment center. In accordance with aspects of the present disclosure, the associate may scan an item he or she may want to stow. In response, lights on the bins in the associate's vicinity are illuminated to indicate bins in which the item can be stowed (e.g., because the item fits in the bin) without breaking stow etiquette. For example, in order to prevent mix up, stow etiquette may indicate that two types of erasers should not be stored in the same bin. As yet another example, stow etiquette may indicate that an item should not be stowed in a bin, even if it fits and there is room, so that a total weight for the bin is not exceeded.

    Abstract: Techniques for providing a removable and reusable tracking device feature in an inventory management system may be described. For example, the inventory management system may associate a reusable tracking device with an item based on first identification information from the reusable tracking device and second identification information from the item in response to an inventory transfer request for the item. Instructions may be provided to attach the reusable tracking device to the item and deliver the item and the associated reusable tracking device to a user based on the inventory transfer request for the item. A notification may be generated based on a signal received from the reusable tracking device. The notification may be provided to a user device of the user and indicate that a subsequent order for the item should be placed on behalf of the user.

    Abstract: Techniques for providing a removable and reusable tracking device feature in an inventory management system may be described. For example, an inventory transfer request may be received for transferring inventory within a facility. A first indication may be received that indicates one or more reusable tracking devices are associated with the inventory included in the inventory transfer request. Information about the inventory transfer request may be mapped to the association of the one or more reusable tracking devices and the inventory. In an embodiment, a location of the inventory may be determined based on location information provided by the associated one or more reusable tracking devices. The mapping between the inventory transfer information to the one or more reusable tracking devices and the inventory may be removed based at least in part on the location information indicating that the inventory is located at a particular location within the facility.
