Abstract
Techniques are provided for weight-based location tracking. In one embodiment, the techniques involve retrieving, via an item tracker, item data of each item in a transaction at a self-checkout system, wherein the item data includes incremental weight measurements, location data, and a total weight of the items in the transaction, generating, via the item tracker, a grouping of items based on the location data, identifying, via the item tracker, a decrease in the total weight of the items in the transaction, and matching, via the item tracker, the decrease in the total weight to a weight of the grouping of items, wherein the weight of the grouping of items is determined based on the incremental weight measurements.
