A compartment storage container for use in a collective objects management system with remote location of compartments containing sought objects. Each compartment has an address decoder with a unique address electrically connected to an electrical input connector which supplies compartment search signals to the container. Each compartment has an LED indicator which is activated when a compartment search signal specifies a compartment address which matches the address of an address decoder in the container. Each container has an electrical output connector which can be connected to the electrical input connector of another container so that several containers can be connected to one another. Each container can be removably installed in a cabinet drawer and electrically connected to conductive support rails in the drawer to communicate with a cabinet based collective objects management system.
