US Patent 9415935 Automated inventory quality control

An apparatus for determining discrepancies between physical inventory and virtual inventory includes a memory and a processor. The memory can store a virtual inventory associated with an inventory bin, and an image representing a physical inventory associated with the inventory bin. The processor is coupled to the memory and can determine from the image a physical inventory comprising one or more units of inventory from the inventory bin. The processor can also determine discrepancies between the determined physical inventory of the inventory bin and the virtual inventory associated with the inventory bin.
