I'm sure this has been discussed in another issue...I can't find it for some reason.
Anyway I wanted to document discussions taht @amcewen@JackiePease and I have had.
If a cataloging system was present for the space it may help people know what we have and what we don't... also locations of items.
My thoughts:
People will use a system that is a tablet mounted soomewhere central. Maybe a phone app too but let's be honest you have to make this easy and not unenjoyable.
A "master bag" style system seems logical...whereby item types are listed as existing in certain locations.
We could offer these locations in sequence....the user has to return to the terminal and click "no item found in that location" beore being offered the next possible location.
This would allow periodic lists of stock checking concerns to be served to whomever is checking on consumables etc.
But why have multiple locations for items?
Well it is done like this in many warhouses and in my experience record stores, to allow additional stock to be placed when location 1 overflows. This means that yes resistors for example may be in value order in drawers for now...but what about when someone gets an unusual value that is from different series? Do we move e all drawers along 1 slot? Then what about the last drawer? Obviosly not. Clearly a location system that forces the user to feedback on whether they DIDN'T find the item in locaiton 1 (by witholding the next location and next location and next location) until they click next location is a plan. Yes they may click not found and get 2 locations but we could build in a query dealy to stop that.
These were my thoughts

Great ideas! Whatever the lowest maintenance approach is will be best. I'll be happy to follow along with your ideas to demo this concept. When I'm in, we can have a chat and maybe try and get some members of the space to pretend-implement this system to see how well it works for a bit? ( I haven't been coming into the space frequently as of late though )
Relates to #1491, Snipe-IT is the inventory/stock management system that already exists that has an android app to go along with it like you've suggested. It would therefore be able to be used on a mounted tablet somewhere as you've suggested.
