Abstract: A product display apparatus includes: (i) a shelving unit (12) defining a plurality of vertically arranged shelves (14); (ii) a base (18) mounted to one of the shelves (14); (Hi) an elongate arm (20) slidably connected to the base (18); (iv) an actuator (24) for extending and retracting the arm (20); (v) at least one first sensor (32) that senses the presence of an object at: (a) a first predetermined distance; and (b) a second predetermined distance; (vi) a control module (36) that causes the actuator (24) to extend and retract the arm (20) in response to feedback from the at least one first sensor (32); (vii) a connecting means (26) at or near a first axial end (20a) of the arm (20); and (viii) a product (16) secured to the first axial end (20a) of the arm (20) via the connecting means.
