Abstract:
Determining a remaining amount of material in a material package may be provided. First, a weight of the material package may be received in response to the ingress of the material package back into an operations area. Then, based upon a beacon code received in response to the ingress of the material package back into the operations area, a material database may be queried for a material package record. Next, a remaining amount of material corresponding to the material package may be calculated based upon the received weight and data from the material package record found from the material database query. The material package record may then be updated in the material database with the calculated remaining amount of material corresponding to the material package.
