1. A system, comprising:
a non-transitory memory storing instructions; and
a processor configured to execute the instructions to cause the system to perform operations comprising:
measuring, via one or more sensor components located on a sensing storage device, a signal corresponding to a quantity of one or more products in the sensing storage device, the one or more sensor components comprising one or more force sensors configured to measure an amount of a force applied to the sensing storage device, one or more level sensors configured to measure a level of a fluid in the sensing storage device, or one or more electromagnetic counters configured to count an addition or a removal of the one or more products in the sensing storage device;
detecting, based on the measured signal, that there has been a change in the amount of force applied to the sensing storage device, a change in the level of the fluid in the sensing storage device, or the removal of the one or more products in the sensing storage device;
determining, based on the detecting, that the quantity of the one or more products in the sensing storage device has fallen below a specified threshold and that additional supplies of the one or more products are needed; and
transmitting, via a wireless network connection, an order request for the additional supplies of the one or more products based in part on the determining.
