A method to automatically audit the number of units within an enclosure having at least one door includes receiving from a remote telemetry device data indicating the number of times within a predetermined period of time a door has been opened to a predetermined open position relative to the enclosure, the predetermined open position of the door being specifically calibrated by a sensor device being mechanically set when the sensor device is installed on the enclosure proximal to the door as a position of the door between a closed position and a more fully opened position beyond the predetermined open position, to generate a door opening count, wherein the remote telemetry device includes a sensor configured to be adjustably calibrated to sense when the door is at the predetermined open position relative to the enclosure based upon the adjustable calibration, to generate the door opening count. A remote telemetry device for automatically auditing the number of items within an enclosure having at least one door for removal and restocking of the items that includes a remote telemetry device in communication with at least one sensor device configured to be calibrated, the calibration of the sensor device being set when the sensor device is installed based upon the size of an item, the sensor configured to detect the door opening to a calibrated door open position, data indicative of the number of items within the enclosure to determine a current count.

One or more monitoring systems and methods for monitoring opening events for a door of an enclosure includes a sensor device configured to be specifically calibrated to sense when the door is at a predetermined open position relative to the enclosure, the sensor device providing sensor output and a telemetry output system configured to transmit the sensor output. The sensor device that may include an arm which when the door opens, the arm slides against the door resulting in a switch event when the door is opened to the predetermined open position relative to the enclosure, the switch event resulting in sensor output. The present disclosure further relates to making predictions of the number of units within an enclosure based upon data gathered by one or more suitable sensors.

An exit device according to one embodiment includes a plurality of sensors and an electronic dogging mechanism. The exit device is configured to locally analyze sensor data to determine the security state of the exit device, report data to a management system via a wireless communication channel established between the exit device and the management system, and receive and process instructions to perform an electronic dogging operation.

A locking device including a body, a first bar member, a second bar member, a hinge wherein the hinge is disposed to link the first bar member and the second bar member to facilitate mounting and removal of the lock, a magnet disposed to be secure the lock body to a metal portion of a container lid, an actuation button, an electromechanical locking mechanism including a bar member, a pivoting cache, a support plate, an internal latch, an internal motor, a rotational hinge is provided. Further controlling and monitoring the electromechanical lock is achieved through a mobile device in data communication with the lock and an Internet cloud service.

Depositing and retrieving articles in/from security boxes held in secure, remote repositories is facilitated by providing an integrated system for article owners, people with permission to access articles, storage trustees, and transport trustees that securely transports articles from a repository to a meeting point at which the owner or other authorized accessor can retrieve the article(s). The boxes can contain multiple compartments for different articles. Access permissions can vary from article to article, and an inventory of articles and their access permissions can be maintained.

Embodiments of the invention provide a header for enclosing a counterbalance assembly for use with an overhead door assembly. The header comprises a top surface, a rear surface coupled to a rear end of the top surface, a bottom surface coupled to a bottom end of the rear surface, and at least one reinforcement member disposed rearward of the counterbalance assembly and forward of the rear surface. The at least one reinforcement member provides necessary reinforcement to the header while allowing for a vertical height of the header to be minimized.
