    Abstract: A system and method for managing supply chain inventory which includes a product model to direct inventory management operations such as piece picking and restocking. The system includes a scanner configured to measure the dimensions and weight of a product, and to obtain a plurality of images of the product. The system further includes a computing device having at least one processor and a memory, and configured to use the measured weight and dimensions, and the plurality of images, to determine any of a shape of the outer surface of the product, a center of gravity of the product, and a three dimensional representation of a shape of a configuration of the product which may be included in the product model. Configurations can include single product, packaged product, and bundled configurations. The product model may be stored in memory or on a remote database for future use.
