Abstract
A goods presentation system including at least one goods presentation assembly defining at least two different rows for presenting goods, wherein goods are to be removed one after another from each row. The system also includes a detection member for the at least one goods presentation assembly configured to be contacted upon a removal of at least one good from a first row of the least two rows and to be also contacted upon a removal of at least one good from at least one second row of the least two rows. At least one sensor element is associated with the detection member and configured to trigger generation of at least one electronic detection signal upon the detection member being contacted when a good is removed from one of the first and second rows.
Claims19
A goods presentation system, comprising:
- at least one goods presentation assembly defining at least two rows for presenting goods, wherein goods are to be removed one after another from each row;
- a detection member for the at least one goods presentation assembly configured to be contacted upon a removal of at least one good from a first row of the least two rows and to be also contacted upon a removal of at least one good from at least one second row of the least two rows;
- and
- at least one sensor element associated with the detection member and configured to trigger generation of at least one electronic detection signal upon the detection member being contacted when a good is removed from one of the first and second rows, the at least one sensor element comprising a motion sensor for detecting a vibration of the detection member resulting from a contact with the detection member and for triggering generation of the at least one electronic detection signal based on a detected vibration.
A method for detecting removal of goods arranged in at least two rows at goods presentation assembly and being removable one after another from each row, wherein a detection member is provided which is contacted upon a removal of at least one good from a first row of the least two rows and is also contacted upon a removal of at least one good from at least one second row of the least two rows, the method comprising:
- detecting, via at least one sensor element, a contact with the detection member upon a removal of the good from the goods presentation assembly;
- and
- triggering generation of at least one electronic detection signal in response to detecting the contact with the detection member upon the removal of the good from the goods presentation assembly,
- wherein the at least one sensor element comprises a motion sensor, via which a vibration of the detection member resulting from the contact with the detection member is detected and via which, based on the detected vibration, the generation of the at least one electronic detection signal is triggered.
