Abstract
Examples provide an archway truss for supporting devices, such as sensor devices generating sensor data for objects passing through the archway and a digital display device displaying dynamic content to users moving through the archway. The archway truss includes vertical support members attached to a horizontal top member. A central support member is reinforced to protect against cart impacts. Cameras are attached to the archway truss and positioned to capture images of objects in carts moving through the archway truss. Radio frequency identification (RFID) tag readers and other sensor devices are removably attached to the archway truss to gather item identification data for objects in the carts. Pairs of wing barriers are provided for each vertical support to block the field of view of the cameras from objects outside the lanes formed by the archway truss. An exterior covering provides padding to protect users contacting the archway truss.
