Abstract:
In some embodiments, apparatuses and methods are provided herein useful to monitoring and reconciling inventory. In some embodiments, there is provided a system including: an inventory location for one type of merchandise item intended for the inventory location; a first sensor configured to collect data regarding the presence of the merchandise item at the inventory location; a second sensor configured to collect identification data of the merchandise item at the inventory location; a memory configured to store the identification data; a database including identification information corresponding to the merchandise item intended for the inventory location; a control circuit configured to: compare the identification data collected by the second sensor with the identification information from the database corresponding to the merchandise item; verify that the identification data from the second sensor corresponds to the identification information from the database; and calculate a quantity of inventory at the inventory location.
Abstract:
In some embodiments, apparatuses and methods are provided herein useful to quickly and accurately determine shelf notch height for a shelving unit. This is particularly advantageous to determine whether shelves in the shelving unit were installed at the correct height and/or for installing shelves at desired heights. In some embodiments, a measurement member is provided with a bottom offset and shelf notch indicator portions. A horizontal position indicator can then be aligned with a desired shelf notch indicator portion and project outwardly therefrom towards a shelving unit to provide a visual indication of the height of a desired shelf notch.
Abstract:
In some embodiments, systems and methods are configured to track palletized products. Some embodiments comprise: a first array of sensors positioned relative to multiple products collectively arranged on a first transport pallet configured to support the multiple products while being transported; a wirelessly transceiver; and a pallet control circuit communicatively coupled with the wireless transceiver and the first array of sensors, wherein the pallet control circuit is configured to receive sensor data from one or more sensors of the first array of sensors, determine a condition of one or more products of the multiple products at least as the multiple products are transported based on the sensor data, and cause condition information to be wirelessly transmitted to a separate notification system configured to provide notification to a worker regarding the condition of the one or more products.
