    Abstract: Disclosed is a system for real-time measurement of inventory on shelves. The system uses light sensors placed in association with the inventory and the shelves to measure in real-time the removal/replacement of inventory from the shelves. When inventory is on the shelves, less light reaches the light sensors. As inventory is removed from shelves, the light sensors receive more light. The difference in light received generates as signal that can be measured, thereby allowing for determining inventory levels on each shelf. The system may be retro-fitted to existing shelving systems, thereby avoiding the cost of purchasing new shelving systems. The system can work on any shelving system, including gravity-feed roller shelf (GRS), flat shelves, and spring loaded pusher shelves, and is unaffected by usual temperatures found in retail establishments and can thus work in both refrigerated and unrefrigerated systems. Also disclosed are related methods.

    Abstract translation: 公开了一种用于货架上库存的实时测量的系统。 该系统使用与库存和货架相关联的光传感器来实时测量货架上库存的移除/替换。 当库存放在架子上时,较少的光线到达光线传感器。 当库存从货架上移除时,光传感器会接收更多光线。 接收到的光线差异产生为可以测量的信号,从而可以确定每个货架上的库存水平。 该系统可以改装到现有的货架系统,从而避免购买新的货架系统的成本。 该系统可以在任何搁架系统上工作,包括重力式滚筒架(GRS),平板搁架和弹簧式推料架,不受零售企业常见的温度影响,因此可用于冷藏和非冷藏系统。 还披露了相关的方法。

    Abstract: A pusher merchandising system adapted to be attached to a shelf for displaying merchandise items at a forward edge of the shelf comprising a shelf attachment portion that is shaped and configured to attach to a forward edge of a merchandise shelf. The system comprises an attachment section to be mounted on the front edge of a shelf surface, a number of tracks including pusher biased toward the front of the shelf, and divider portions that separate the chutes for retaining products for sale. The end of shelf dividers include a wall that can be flush or immediately adjacent the shelf supports at the end of a shelf, and have attachment mechanisms at either the back or front end, making them universally attachable in different orientations to either a left or right end of shelf configuration. The attachment of the tracks and dividers to the attachment portion comprise opposed triangular teeth or other appropriate retention means at a proximal end of the portion, and a cutout in the base removed from the proximal end that attaches when the portions is depressed toward the surface, which locks the portion in place until it is removed by pivoting the portion away from the shelf surface.
