Sensor-equipped display management systems and methods that may be used to calculate a number of products removed from a display management system based upon motion of one or more mechanisms within the display management system. Additionally, the systems and methods may be used to detect patterns from the sensor data, which may be indicative of attempted theft of products stored within the display management system.

System for inventory management

A product management display system for merchandising product on a shelf includes using a trackless pusher mechanism that travels along a surface on which product is placed. A plurality of thin dividers separate the product into rows. The dividers may be formed separately and attached and secured by being inserted into a plurality of grooves arranged along the lower surface and the forward and rear support posts of the product dispensing tray. The dividers are configured to self-adjust by laterally shifting within the grooves when the product is moved forward by the pusher to being loaded by an operator to allow the product to be positioned in a tight fitting manner to maximize the amount of product that can be accommodated horizontally across the tray. In addition, the dividers may have a bottom wall spaced from the surface with a support column that is inserted into an elongated pocket to provide the structural support for the divider.

Product management display system with trackless pusher mechanism

A method of providing a merchandising system that includes a base supporting a product, configuring a housing to engage the base, wherein the base comprises a top wall, a first side wall, and a second side wall, configuring a rotatable door assembly to slidably engage the housing and the base, wherein the rotatable door assembly is configured with a door to hold the product, wherein the door is configured to move from a closed position to an open position, connecting a door spacer to the door and configuring the door spacer bar to rotate away from a front of the door, and mounting a locking assembly to the base.

Product securement and management system

An adjustable tray for a merchandise display system may include a retainer for limiting the movement of products loaded in the adjustable tray, a first divider extending from a first panel and second divider extending from a second panel. The spacing between the first divider and the second divider can be configured to be adjusted. The first panel and the second panel can be configured to move to provide additional surface area for the adjustable tray to accommodate different sized products. The adjustable tray may further include a pusher mechanism configured to bias product toward the retainer.

Product management display system

A product management display system for merchandising product on a shelf includes using a trackless pusher mechanism that travels along a surface on which product is placed and one or more dividers for separating product into rows. The one or more dividers may be engaged to a front rail in two different conditions, locked and unlocked. In a locked condition, the relationship between the divider and the front rail resists alteration in any direction with respect to each other. In the unlocked condition, the dividers may be freely slid laterally along the front rail, while remaining perpendicular to the front rail. The one or more dividers may lock to the front rail through the use of corresponding teeth, resilient surfaces, a locking tab, a locking bar and/or a cam.

A product management display system for merchandising product on a shelf includes a tray having a front curved portion and a surface defining a plurality of glide rails, a tip extending from the front curved portion of the tray wherein the tip has a first edge, a second edge, and a third edge and wherein at least two of the edges are substantially straight, a mounting member positioned behind the tip wherein the mounting member is a slot, a product retaining member positioned above the front curved portion of the tray, a first divider and a second divider, and a pusher configured to engage the tray.

In the unlocked condition, the dividers may be freely slid laterally along the front rail, while remaining perpendicular to the front rail. The one or more dividers may lock to the front rail through the use of corresponding teeth, resilient surfaces, a locking tab, a locking bar and/or a cam that may define a cam glide.

Application system for inventory management

A product management display system may include a tray having a front rounded portion and a surface defining a plurality of apertures, a front wall having a top portion and two side legs. The side legs may define a bottom portion, and the top portion, the two side legs, and the bottom portion form an opening, and a strip of advertising may be present on the front wall.

A merchandising system for merchandising product. The merchandising system may include a movable barrier located above a plurality of product and rotatable between an open position which permits removal of product from the display system and a closed position which obstructs access to the product. The merchandising system may also include an alert device configured to provide a signal when the movable barrier is in the open position.

A product management display system for merchandising product on a shelf includes a divider secured to a support structure and a barrier that is moveable by rotation between a folded position and an upright position without a rotation biasing element. A product positioned in the system can contact the barrier when the product moves toward the forward end of the system and rotate the barrier from the folded position to the upright position. The system may include a rotational mounting structure to which the moveable barrier is connected. The rotational mounting structure may be removably connected to the forward end of the divider. The merchandise display system may be used in conjunction with a product tray which provides for product stored in the product tray to be slid from in the product tray into the product pocket of the merchandise display system.

A merchandise display system can include a front rail, at least one divider configured to engage the front rail, the at least one divider including a barrier. The at least one divider may also include a divider wall, and a roller carriage extending along the divider wall. The roller carriage can be provided with a plurality of rollers, and the roller carriage can be configured to advance the product. Additionally, the roller carriage can be tilted such that the product is configured to move toward the barrier. The roller carriage can be formed of a first portion and a second portion, and the roller carriage can provided with a plurality of axles that are configured to receive the plurality of rollers such that the plurality of rollers are configured to rotate on the roller carriage. A method for forming a merchandise display system is also contemplated.
