High-density item display apparatus

A system, comprising:

• a high-density item display apparatus, including:
• a first elongated surface;
• a first load cell fixedly coupled to the first elongated surface and operable to transmit a first weight data generated by the first load cell;
• a second elongated surface;
• a second load cell fixedly coupled to the second elongated surface and operable to transmit a second weight data generated by the second load cell;
• and
• a first bin mounting component coupled with the first load cell, the first bin mounting component including a first pocket and operable to couple a first bin to the high-density item display apparatus when a first snap of a first bin alignment component of the first bin is received in the first pocket of the first bin mounting component such that the first bin is supported by the first bin mounting component and creates a one-to-one connection between the first bin and the first load cell;
• a second bin mounting component coupled with the second load cell, the second bin mounting component including a second pocket and operable to couple a second bin to the high-density item display apparatus when a second snap of a second bin alignment component of the second bin is received in the second pocket of the second bin mounting component such that the second bin is supported by the second bin mounting component and creates a one-to-one connection between the second bin and the second load cell;
• the first bin, including:
• a first base having a first top surface and a first bottom surface;
• a first side coupled to the first base and positioned at a first angle with respect to the first top surface of the first base such that a first plurality of items of a first item type may be placed in the first bin and presented for display;
• and
• a first bin alignment component including the first snap, the first bin alignment component coupled to the first bottom surface of the first base or the first side and operable to mount with the first bin mounting component and secure the first bin to the high-density item display apparatus;
• the second bin, including:
• a second base having a second top surface and a second bottom surface;
• a second side coupled to the second base and positioned at a second angle with respect to the second top surface of the second base such that a second plurality of items of a second item type may be placed in the second bin and presented for display;
• and
• a second bin alignment component including the second snap, the second bin alignment component coupled to the second bottom surface of the second base or the second side and operable to mount with the second bin mounting component and secure the second bin to the high-density item display apparatus;
• and
• a computing system, including:
• one or more processors;
• and
• a memory storing program instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to at least:
• maintain a first load cell identifier corresponding to the first load cell;
• maintain a first item weight for items of the first item type associated with the first load cell or the first bin mounted to the first mounting component coupled with the first load cell;
• receive the first weight data from the first load cell;
• determine, based at least in part on the first weight data and the first item weight, that a first item of the first item type has been picked from the first bin;
• and
• in response to determination that the first item has been picked, send an item pick notification indicating at least the first item type.

An apparatus, comprising:

• an elongated surface;
• a plurality of load cells fixedly positioned along the elongated surface, each load cell of the plurality of load cells operable to transmit a weight data generated by the load cell;
• a plurality of bin mounting components, each bin mounting component:
• coupled with a load cell of the plurality of load cells;
• including a pocket;
• and
• operable to couple a bin to the apparatus when a snap of a bin alignment component of the bin is received in the pocket of the bin mounting component such that the snap secures the bin to the bin mounting component;
• and
• a controller component communicatively coupled to each load cell of the plurality of load cells and operable to receive weight data from each load cell of the plurality of load cells.
