Abstract
Systems and methods for item detection are disclosed herein. The system comprises a fixed data capture assembly, a handheld indicia reader, a processor, and a memory. The fixed data capture assembly has a first field of view (FOV) associated with an item scanning region and a second FOV associated with a data capture region extending at least partially outside the item scanning region. The processor executes instructions stored in the memory causing the system to: detect an item within the data capture region and outside of the item scanning region; responsive to detecting the item, determine whether the item remains outside the item scanning region during a first time period; responsive to determining that the item remains outside the item scanning region during the first time period, determine whether the handheld indicia reader is utilized; and responsive to determining that the handheld indicia reader is not utilized, trigger an alert associated with non-scanning of the item.
