Visible Inventory wants to take the phrase "long time no see" out of manufacturing companies' vocabulary. The company makes systems used by manufacturers to connect their plant floor operations to their supply chain management software. Visible Inventory's systems incorporate sensors, wireless networking equipment, and specialized software to track physical inventory of parts or finished goods in real time. The company's sensors and other items provide real-time monitoring of what is happening in the bins, shelves, and the pallets in a company's warehouse or loading docks.
