Abstract

The present invention is a dynamic control containment unit (10) for holding a plurality of discrete items (12), including a signal emitting mechanism (14) associated with each of the plurality of discrete items (12), an enclosed housing (16) having at least one receptacle (18) accessible by a user and having at least one of the plurality of items (12) contained therein, a passive signal receiving mechanism (20) in communication with the receptacle (18) for receiving signals (22) emanating from the signal emitting mechanism (14) and a securement system configured to prevent unauthorized access to the dynamic control containment unit (10). A controller (24) is in communication with the signal receiving mechanism (20) and initiates actions based upon the signal content.
