  • Publication number: 20210065102
    Abstract: A product inventory management system includes a sensor and a processing device. The sensor is configured to sense a pick-up and a placement of a product at a predetermined location that is associated with an identifier. The processing device is configured to, in response to detecting a product pick-up, increase a product pick-up counter and add a pick-up history log to the pick-up history. Each pick-up history log indicates a pick-up time corresponding to the pick-up detection time. The processing device removes a pick-up history log associated with the identifier from the pick-up history when the sensor detects a product placement. After the elapsing of predetermined time from the pick-up time included in a pick-up history log, the processing device increases a purchase counter associated with the identifier.
