Shelf Fullness Check for Retail

The module helps to maintain the shelves in a store fully stocked, ensuring maximum revenue and preserving customer loyalty

How It Works

In the settings, you specify the area where the contents of the shelf will be located
The algorithm calculates and stores the quantity of the special dots in the area. The number of dots represents the complete fullness of the shelf.
After the intervals specified by you (15-60 sec) the module checks the shelves and determines the percentage of their fullness with goods
If the module detects a shelf the fullness of which is lower than the preset level, it sends a corresponding notification

Note: when the module detects the presence of people in the area (it is determined by the presence of motion), it does not perform frame processing until the movement has stopped.

Your Benefits

You do not need to hire many employees to continuously monitor shelf fullness. Thanks to the Shelf Fullness Check you will:

receive immediate notifications about an empty shelf on the operator’s display, to an electronic address, in a mobile app
take timely action to fill the empty shelves with goods

Thus, you will be able to increase profit by ensuring that the goods are available to each customer.
