  • Systems and methods for weighing products on a shelf
    Patent number: 11933661
    Abstract: A method for tracking non-homogeneous products on a shelf comprises monitoring weight measurement data points corresponding to the weight of the shelf and the products arranged thereupon, determining a set of weight-event parameters of a weight event, such as product identification and an action taken with respect to the product, and at least one of recording information about the results and displaying information about the results. A system for tracking non-homogeneous products on a shelf comprises processors for carrying out stored program instructions for carrying out the steps of the method.
