The primary function of smart shelves is inventory management. Equipped with built-in technology, these shelves can automatically track inventory levels and send alerts when products are low or out of stock. Additionally, the weight sensors integrated into smart shelves can accurately detect the weight of products placed on them, helping to confirm stock levels.
Many smart shelves also utilize Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology, which allows for quick and accurate product identification, reducing the likelihood of human error. These shelves are typically connected to the Internet of Things (IoT), enabling real-time data sharing and analysis. Through these technologies, businesses can gain deep insights into customer behavior, sales patterns, and inventory turnover, allowing for more informed decision-making.
