They&#8217;re not so much shelves are they are platforms that sit <em>on<\/em> a shelf &#8212; or a table, desk, or other flat surface.<\/p>\n<p>The Dash Smart Shelf comes in the three sizes shown here. The smallest measures 7&#8243; x 7&#8243;, the midsize 12&#8243; x 10&#8243; and the largest 18&#8243; x 13&#8243;. Inside the Smart Shelf beats the heart of a Wi-Fi connected scale.<\/p>\n<p>Are your supplies stored in a location that doesn&#8217;t have easy access to a wall outlet? Not a problem. Amazon equipped the Shelf with a battery so that it can keep tabs on inventory no matter where it&#8217;s stashed.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Training&#8221; a Smart Shelf is a relatively simple process which you perform using the Amazon app on a smartphone or tablet. Pick the product you plan to store on the Shelf, set the starting quantity, and tell Amazon what your minimum quantity on hand is.<\/p>\n<p>Changes in the total weight tell the Smart Scale when it&#8217;s time to re-order. It takes care of that part of the process automatically &#8212; replenishments just show up in the familiar smiley box without anyone from purchasing ever lifting a finger.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 640px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-1811470-2\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/G\/01\/kindle\/merch\/2019\/042595\/final\/DSS_StopMotion_Pack2.mp4?_=2\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/G\/01\/kindle\/merch\/2019\/042595\/final\/DSS_StopMotion_Pack2.mp4\">https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/G\/01\/kindle\/merch\/2019\/042595\/final\/DSS_StopMotion_Pack2.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n<p>The Smart Shelf can be configured to send notifications, too, in case you don&#8217;t want an inanimate object spending the company&#8217;s money.<\/p>\n<p>Amazon has experimented with things that order other things before. Their first attempt, the Dash Button, had a decent run but was killed off earlier this year.<\/p>\n<p>The buttons were priced at just $4.99 each. The Dash Smart Shelf will likely cost a bit more, but Amazon hopes businesses will see them as a way to save money &#8212; by freeing up time for employees who currently look after office supplies to perform other tasks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.geek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/amazon-dash-shelf-650x366.jpg\" width=\"650\" height=\"366\"><\/figure>\n<p>Amazon loves to cook up new ways to make it easier for their customers to spend money.
