Abstract: A bottom supporting shelf allocation and management system for allocating shelf space among rows of products comprises a plurality of adjacent shelf allocating and managing units. Each unit is associated with at least one row of products. Each unit includes a base extending to a shelf depth and supporting the row(s) of products, an integral perpendicular side divider attached to the side edge of the base, an open side of the base opposite the base side to which the side divider is attached, a puller that travels in a channel on the base and along the length of the base, a backstop attached to the rear of the puller extending laterally across the surface of the base which is configured to make selectively contact a rearmost product resting on the base and push the row of products on the base forward in sympathy to the puller forward movement.

Abstract: Systems and methods of multidirectional robotic shelf restocking are performed. In one exemplary embodiment, a multidirectional robotic shelf restocking apparatus is configured to operate in first and second adjoining regions. The first region being above or below the second region defined by opposing stocked shelf structures. The apparatus includes a vertical motion mechanism and a corresponding vertical motion drive operable to move the vertical motion mechanism in a vertical direction. Further, the apparatus includes an arm member and a corresponding rotational motion drive operable to rotate the arm member between the stocked shelf structures and a corresponding linear motion drive operable to linearly extend and retract the arm member. In addition, the apparatus includes an end effector coupled to the arm member and configured to transfer an item from the first region to the second region by the motion of the vertical motion mechanism and the arm member.

Abstract: The retail merchandise tray has a load bearing member formed from a rail attached to a mounting plate. The mounting plate and rail form 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 locates 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.

Abstract: A shelving system includes a shelving unit with at least one open sidewall that provides access to an interior of the shelving unit and one or more inserts that can be selectively connected to and disconnected from an interior of the unit in order to compartmentalize the interior of the unit. This enables a user to separate, sort and store items in the interior in an orderly fashion. The at least one open sidewall also serves to display the items stored in the unit. The shelving unit can be attached to a supporting wall in order to be located at desirable height to facilitate storage and display of the items stored therein.

Abstract: A retail merchandise pusher with a remote alarm feature is provided. The pusher includes a housing and an adaptor. The adaptor is removably coupled to the housing and slidably coupled to a track. The pusher including a shaft rotatable about its axis in a first and second direction and a gear wheel coupled to the shaft. The rotation of the gear wheel causing a first electrical contact to engage with a second electrical contact, such that the distance that the pusher moves along the track can be measured by totaling the number of times the first electrical contact engages with the second electrical contact.

Abstract: A product management display system for merchandising product on a shelf includes using a trackless pusher mechanism that travels along a surface on which product is placed and one or more dividers for separating product into rows. The one or more dividers may be engaged to a front rail in two different conditions, locked and unlocked. In a locked condition, the relationship between the divider and the front rail resists alteration in any direction with respect to each other. In the unlocked condition, the dividers may be freely slid laterally along the front rail, while remaining perpendicular to the front rail. The one or more dividers may lock to the front rail through the use of corresponding teeth, resilient surfaces, a locking tab, a locking bar and/or a cam that may define a cam glide.
