Abstract
A system includes a rack storing items, an interaction device that processes the items, and a master controller that is configured to receive a communication signal from the rack indicating that items have been removed from the rack and determine based on monitoring communication signals from the interaction device whether the removed items were processed by the interaction device within a pre-configured time period from the time the items were removed from the rack. In response to determining that the items were not processed by the interaction device within a pre-configured time period, the master controller transmits an alert message including a number of the items removed from the rack and an identification associated with the items.
