A product divider assembly includes a rail and a divider. The rail includes a front surface having a plurality of first teeth and a rear surface formed on an opposite side of the rail from the front surface. The divider includes a base having a bottom side including plurality of second teeth facing the plurality of first teeth of the rail and one or more biasing members engaging the rear surface of the rail to bias the rail in a direction towards the plurality of first teeth. The divider is operable to be pulled in an opposite direction from the biasing force to disengage the first teeth from the second teeth to allow the divider to be translated along the rail.

A retail merchandise tray is provided. The retail merchandise tray may have a load bearing member formed from a rail attached to a mounting plate. The mounting plate and rail forming a downward opening notch for mounting to a tray support structure. The tray may have a locating flange that carries a locating pin that engages a tray support structure. The locating pin locating the tray along the tray support structure. The tray may have at least one divider assembly. The divider assembly includes outward extending offset projections that can prevent an adjacent tray from contacting the divider wall.

The present invention relates to a device for feeding products, comprising a compartment for storing a plurality of products, on which compartment one or more products can be removed at a removal region, and on the side opposite the removal region a slider pretensioned by a spring rests against one of the products and is moved in the feed direction when a product is removed, wherein a sensor is provided for recording the stock of products, and a method for recording a stock of products on a compartment having a plurality of products.

Rack of an inventory management system for providing products, comprising: a. two side elements, b. at least one front and one rear horizontal element, i. wherein these connect the two side elements, c. at least one product carrier for reception of same products, i. which product carrier is plugged in the front and the rear horizontal elements, and ii. has a distinct identification, d. a measurement device for at least one product carrier, i. which measurement device measures the filling level of the product carrier with products, e. a connection unit, with which data from the measurement device concerning the filling level of the product carrier with products and the identification of the product carrier are transmissible to a centre of an inventory management system, in order to trigger at least one re-ordering of products for a product carrier.

A retail merchandise tray assembly is provided. The tray assembly may have an adjustable divider. The tray assembly may have a sign adaptor for mounting a sign to the divider. The tray assembly may have an accessory clip. The tray assembly may have a pivotable front stop. The tray assembly may have sign holders mounted to a front stop. The tray assembly may include signs mounted within a sign holder that is mounted to the front stop. The divider may be powder coated while the divider mounts may be free of painting. Methods are also provided.

A pusher tray assembly configured to hold products includes a pusher tray including a floor, a bottom surface, a front wall, at least one sidewall, and at least one back wall, where the floor is configured to hold the products thereon; a pusher paddle having a front face and a back face; an engagement mechanism arranged on a lower side of the pusher paddle and configured to secure the pusher paddle to the floor; a channel arranged in the floor and configured to receive the engagement mechanism; a spring configured to urge the pusher paddle and the products towards the front wall; and an inventory control bar configured to at least partially cover the products, where the pusher tray that includes a transparent material.

Anti-sweep devices which are operable to contain a plurality of packages disposed on a base within a cover or housing, and dispense packages one at a time. A door for accessing a product such as a package is disposed at a front portion of the device. The base includes a pusher axially aligned with the long axis of the base. A sled, lift plate, product retention tab, a sled biasing element and a means for retarding a biasing force imparted by the sled biasing element are positioned below the base. The sled is slidably oriented along the longitudinal axis of the base and has a door contacting end and sled biasing element couple to the opposite end. The sled is engageable to the means for retarding a biasing force imparted by the sled biasing element. In use, opening the door to remove a product or package pushes the sled against the resistance of the sled biasing element, compressing it, and the lift plate and product retention tab are urged upward via the lift plate and through an aperture formed in the base to stop the next product or package from advancing toward the door.

A retail merchandise tray including a front stop having a product support surface is provided. The product support surface is located between mounting features that attach the front stop to the rest of the retail merchandise tray. The front stop itself is an embodiment as well.

Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a shelf assembly.

Disclosed is a system for real-time measurement of inventory on shelves. The system uses light sensors placed in association with the inventory and the shelves to measure in real-time the removal/replacement of inventory from the shelves. When inventory is on the shelves, less light reaches the light sensors. As inventory is removed from shelves, the light sensors receive more light. The difference in light received generates as signal that can be measured, thereby allowing for determining inventory levels on each shelf. The system may be retro-fitted to existing shelving systems, thereby avoiding the cost of purchasing new shelving systems. The system can work on any shelving system, including gravity-feed roller shelf (GRS), flat shelves, and spring loaded pusher shelves, and is unaffected by usual temperatures found in retail establishments and can thus work in both refrigerated and unrefrigerated systems. Also disclosed are related methods.
