INVENTORY ALERT ACCEPTANCE GUIDE
Before a smart fridge sends an email at 50%, define the quantity and scope that 50% describes.
A public smart-fridge listing says an email can be sent when stock falls below a preset value, using 50% as an example. That wording becomes difficult when a buying team asks what the percentage measures. Is it one SKU, a shelf, a cabinet, a compartment, or a group of machines?
The listing supports the existence of a stock-email feature and an example threshold. It does not establish a default setting, a recommended percentage, a denominator, message latency, repeat cadence, or offline behavior. Those details belong in the configuration and acceptance record.
This procurement guide compares three real public WEIMI listings. It is a public-listing shortlist, not an independent test. No stockout-prevention result, automatic ordering behavior, or financial performance is claimed.
Write the percentage as a fraction before approving it. Name the counted quantity, the reference quantity, the products included, and the event that should create the email. Ask the supplier to demonstrate the exact offered configuration with known quantities.
Do not assume that physical cabinet capacity is the software denominator. Do not assume a cabinet-level percentage identifies an individual drink. Ask whether “below” excludes equality, how rounding is displayed, and how replenishment changes the reference.
| Question | Why it matters | Acceptance evidence |
|---|---|---|
| What is counted? | Defines the numerator and product scope. | Written inventory definition. |
| What is the reference? | The same units can yield different percentages. | Documented denominator and update method. |
| Where does it apply? | SKU, compartment and fleet alerts answer different questions. | Configuration showing supported scope. |
| What does “below” mean? | Equality and rounding affect the boundary. | At-threshold and just-below example. |
This guide is for procurement teams comparing inventory features, operators planning refills, and project owners accepting a new smart-fridge configuration. It is most useful when a quotation says “50% low stock” without explaining the reference quantity.
Use the questions with a first pilot, a changed assortment, or a multi-site rollout. Record the supplier’s actual answer rather than turning an internal operating habit into an assumed software capability.
We compare what the public pages actually describe with the buyer’s inventory question. The single-door AI fridge page mentions camera recognition and an email when stock falls below a preset value, with 50% as an example. The WM22 page describes inventory management. The dual-cabinet page shows a main cabinet and a secondary selling area.
We do not rank alert accuracy or message speed because those are not documented in comparable public evidence. A useful acceptance demonstration would connect visible quantities, the configured rule, the reported value, and the expected notification. That demonstration has not been performed here.
The public listing describes compatible packaged products, camera recognition, and an email when stock falls below a preset value, with 50% as an example. It is the direct candidate for clarifying percentage meaning. The page does not prove a per-SKU trigger or a recommended threshold.
WM22 is a dispensing format with a 21.5-inch product-selection touchscreen and a publicly described inventory-management function. The AI fridge’s percentage-email wording must not be transferred to WM22 without a configuration answer.
The public page shows a main cabinet and a secondary visible spiral-lane compartment. This makes reporting scope a key question: ask for a labelled example for each selling area and confirm whether alerts are combined or separate.
| Format | Public context | Open question |
|---|---|---|
| AI vision fridge | Stock email below preset value; 50% example. | What denominator and scope? |
| WM22 | Inventory-management function. | Which alert rule is offered? |
| Dual cabinet | Main and secondary selling areas. | How are areas represented? |
These are evidence boundaries, not tested performance. Obtain a final configuration for each machine.
Fictional arithmetic, not system behavior: if a hypothetical reference is 40 units, 18 remaining units equal 45%. If the reference is 60, the same 18 units equal 30%. The denominator changes the decision even though the count is unchanged.
Under a purely hypothetical strict “below 50%” rule using 40 units, 20 units are exactly 50% and 19 units are 47.5%. This illustrates why equality and rounding belong in the acceptance record.
Assume, only for a fictional review-cost example, one staff hour at $32 per hour. The assumed effort is $32; this is not a supplier fee, required duration, or ROI result. No alert price, refill saving, or stockout reduction is established.
The best choice is the configuration whose confirmed reporting definition supports the real refill decision. Do not rename a broad alert to make it sound more specific.
For a pilot, prepare known quantities and agree what the dashboard and email should show. For an assortment change, review whether the old reference still describes the loading plan. For a rollout, keep a short definition record for each site so percentages remain comparable.
The public page gives 50% as an example. No default or recommendation is established here.
Per-product scope is not verified. Ask which scope the offered configuration supports.
That is not established. Request the actual reference definition.
Ask for boundary logic and rounding; the listing wording does not verify implementation.
Confirm the refill and configuration procedure rather than assuming an automatic reset.
No guarantee or measured stockout benefit is claimed.
Before accepting a percentage alert, identify the counted quantity, reference quantity, scope, boundary logic, and refill update method. Use a worked example and retain the answer with the final configuration.
The AI fridge is the direct listed candidate for the preset-value email discussion. WM22 and the dual-cabinet station are other procurement candidates whose inventory scope needs separate confirmation. Sources are the three linked public listings reviewed in October 2026; notification timing, repeat behavior, offline operation, and financial outcomes remain unverified.
Send WEIMI your planned assortment, loading quantities, and the refill decision the report must support. Ask for the threshold definition, supported scope, worked example, and any software or service fees.
