Abstract

An inventory tracking system and method having a handheld unit (20) with a housing (34, 36), a battery (24) disposed within the housing (34, 36), a chip (75) having identification information, and at least one contact element (22, 39) connected to the battery (24) and the chip (75). The system having a receptacle unit (30) placed at a storage location of items, the receptacle unit (30) having at least one contact element (22, 39), a chip (75) having receptacle-identifying information, and a transmitter (30) for transmitting signals to a processing unit (40) when the handheld unit contact element (22) touches the receptacle unit contact element (39). The processing unit (40) has a receiver (30) to receive transmitted signals from the receptacle unit (30) and uses the information in the signals to update the inventory information about the items at the storage location.
