The shelves on which TouchCounters are mounted have a digital memory.
Every time someone removes one of the boxes from the shelves and accesses
its contents (carpentry tools, parts for electronic devices, etc.)
it is counted and the frequency of access is represented graphically
on a bright LED display. Tracking the usage of tools and supplies
in a workshop gives the user hints as to what kind of work is being
done, which boxes need to be refilled, and what the most convenient
arrangement of boxes would be.
