The invention is directed to a corner retention clip system for supporting the front two corners of a shelf in a shelving system. Each corner retention clip includes a generally horizontal support panel, a channel connected to the support panel for receiving a front lip of a shelf of the shelving display and a side wall connector for connecting the clip to a side wall of the shelving display.

Described is an RFID-enabled medical item storage, organization, and/or tracking device, such as a cabinet or shelf, that includes a limited-range wireless network communication capability, such as low-energy Bluetooth or Zigbee, to communicate with nearby cabinets, shelves or mobile devices, any of which may serve as a communication aggregator to coordinate the communication of multiple cabinets, shelves and other devices with an inventory management system or other back-end computer system or other device via back haul wireless or wired networks (e.g., the Internet).

Product identification systems and methods including a shelf are described herein.

The present disclosure relates to a method of manufacturing a composite plastic component having a first section surrounded by a second section. The method includes positioning a first section on a mold, the mold having a curved top surface. The method includes heating a second section in the form of a frame, and positioning the second section about the first section on the mold. The method includes pressing the first and second sections on the curved mold to curve the first and second sections in conformance with the curve of the mold, and to attach the frame to the first section. The method includes removing the curved first section and frame from the mold, cooling the curved first section and frame, and allowing the first section to return from a curved shape to a planar shape.

A shelf (100) for use in electronic reading applications includes a printed circuit board (PCB) (102) and a shelf member (110). The PCB carries a plurality of electronic components (104) which define a circuit board topography having relief features standing proud of a surface (106) of the PCB. The shelf member (110) has a first side (112) and an opposed, second side (114). The second side of the shelf member has recesses (116) corresponding to a negative of the circuit board topography, and the surface (106) of the PCB is attached to the second side (114) of the shelf member so that the electronic components (104) are received within the recesses (116) of the shelf member (110).

A shelf cover configured to be placed onto a shelf of a shelving unit and having an integrated removable price tag holder located on its front edge.

Embodiments of this disclosure provide a goods shelf system and a method of monitoring items of the goods shelf system. The goods shelf system comprises: a goods shelf comprising a bearing body for bearing an item; a signal transmitting unit located on a side of the bearing body; a plurality of signal receiving units, located on the bearing body, for receiving a signal transmitted by the signal transmitting unit; and a processing unit, electrically connected with the signal receiving unit, for acquiring a storage state of the item on the bearing body according to an signal outputted by the signal receiving unit, wherein one or more of the plurality of signal receiving units shielded by the items are not able to receive the signal transmitted by the signal transmitting unit.

Disclosed herein are mobile battery powered smart shelving units, systems, and methods for optimizing retail operations using these smart shelving units. These smart shelving units may comprise any combination of at least one: wheeled frame, display screen, a battery, a computer, a Wi-Fi module, a low frequency Bluetooth module, and an RFID reader/scanner, and an interactive touch screen. A system for optimizing retail operations may comprise a central computer hub configured for wireless communication with the computer and Wi-Fi module on the smart shelving unit(s) to continually exchange information related to the merchandise thereon, such as updated pricing, quantity, marketing, demonstrations, etc. The smart shelving units can communicate wirelessly in real time with a plurality of other smart shelving units, a central computer hub, and other low frequency Bluetooth devices nearby. In some embodiments, these smart shelving units may also be used to sell food and beverages.

A product display system for use with sales of consumer products. The display includes a rack with at least one shelf to display screening products and a cross member for supporting a display assembly. The display assembly has a support channel with a bracket attached to the cross member. The display assembly also includes a housing sized to be received in the support channel. The display housing includes a base with a rear wall and upper and lower channel guides. The channel guides define opposing sets of channels for receiving a graphic insert with printed information and a transparent acrylic insert. The transparent insert has printed on it screen designs to allow viewing of the printed information through screen product designs displayed on the product display system.
