A display fixture includes a gondola display unit having a plurality of adjacent gondola sections. Each gondola section has a base deck, a back wall supported by a pair of uprights and a toe kick located on a front of the base deck. An inline display focal is coupled to the gondola display unit to highlight one of the plurality of adjacent gondola sections and includes an upper frame, an outrigger and a kick plate assembly. A portion of the upper frame extends forward from the base deck and the toe kick of the gondola section. The outrigger is positioned forward of the base deck and the toe kick of the gondola section and includes at least two vertical members that depend downwardly from the upper frame to couple to the kick plate assembly that is attached to a front of the toe kick of the gondola section.

An apparatus is disclosed that provides a storage system designed to allow pickers to easily and efficiently pull products from all portions of the storage system from a single side of the storage system. The storage system includes a first storage rack that has a first plurality of columns and a first platform extending from one of the first plurality of columns. An outer edge of the first platform forms an end of the first storage rack. Positioned adjacent to the first storage rack is a second storage rack with a second plurality of columns and a second platform that extends from one of the second plurality of columns, where an outer edge of the second platform forms an end of the second storage rack. An aisle is formed by a predetermined distance between the outer edges of the first and second platforms.

A goods display rack according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises: at least one goods transfer unit configured so as to transfer goods placed on an upper surface to a withdrawal position; a front fixing profile arranged on the front of the goods display rack so as to attachably/detachably fix a front end of the goods transfer unit; and a rear fixing profile arranged on the rear of the goods display rack so as to attachably/detachably fix a rear end of the goods transfer unit, wherein the goods transfer unit is configured so as to slide to the left and right sides in a position-adjustable area between the front fixing profile and the rear fixing profile, in a state in which the front end and the rear end thereof are respectively mounted in the front fixing profile and the rear fixing profile.

A product management display system for merchandising product on a shelf includes using a trackless pusher mechanism that travels along a tray on which product is placed and one or more dividers for separating product into rows. The tray may include a notch for accessing the merchandising product from below and the product management display system may be thin to minimize vertical height. The trays may also be engaged with the shelf and may be, locked and unlocked.

An interactive retail display unit includes a movable case having a plurality of shelves, an upper rail assembly including a rail having a first end and an opposing second end and at least one bearing slidably coupling the movable case to the rail and a lower track and roller assembly. The lower track and roller assembly includes a track having a first end corresponding with the first end of the rail, an opposing second end corresponding with the second end of the rail and a plurality of wheels mounted to a bottom of the movable case. The movable case is configured to move along the rail and the track.

A smart retail product shelf liner called MOOCA to detect product loads on its surface. The liner preferably has an origami like structure whose properties (e.g., angles, unit size, material) are adjusted to make the liner configurable for different sizes, load ranges, and product packaging. The smart liner is well suited for autonomous checkout systems. MOOCA is an origami-inspired low-cost configurable surface structure having conductive threads and copper wires integrated into the origami structure to detect and recognize product loads and thus to detect when products are either picked-up, or put-down, upon the smart MOOCA liner of the shelf.

The present application proposes an apparatus and method for detecting stock-out of articles on a rack and a rack. The apparatus includes: a distance detector configured to detect a distance between the article farthest from a first end and one of the first end and a second end; and a controlling and processing unit communicatively connected to the distance detector and configured to determine whether the articles are out of stock based on the distance.

A set of panels having chutes therebetween. The chutes being defined by curvilinear rails on such panels. The curvilinear rails having stops thereon for stopping the products for viewing.
