If your printer is getting low on ink, Amazon wants to know. Actually, it already could know and have a new supply at your door before you even realize the ink was low.
The company says its new Dash Replenishment Service (DRS) can detect low supplies in your office of smart, connected devices — including your printer — and take care of the reorder and shipping.
The DRS initiative is basically a solution that monitors a product to see if it needs more supplies. If it does, the monitoring device will automatically order it when it is about to run out.
The application of this technology is going to change the way consumers and businesses restock dwindling supplies. For small businesses with limited manpower, having an automated monitoring technology to see when supplies are running low will save money and the inconvenience of making a purchase after the fact.
