Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses are provided for use in monitoring product placement within a shopping facility. Some embodiments provide an apparatus configured to determine product placement conditions within a shopping facility, comprising: a transceiver configured to wirelessly receive communications; a product monitoring control circuit coupled with the transceiver; a memory coupled with the control circuit and storing computer instructions that when executed by the control circuit cause the control circuit to: obtain a composite three-dimensional (3D) scan mapping corresponding to at least a select area of the shopping facility and based on a series of 3D scan data; evaluate the 3D scan mapping to identify multiple product depth distances; and identify, from the evaluation of the 3D scan mapping, when one or more of the multiple product depth distances is greater than a predefined depth distance threshold from the reference offset distance of the product support structure.

Claim (Index 16):
The method of  claim 10 , further comprising:\n causing one or more movement commands to be communicated to a motorized transport unit coupled with a 3D scanner, wherein the one or more movement commands when implemented by the motorized transport unit are configured to cause physical movement of the motorized transport unit to move the 3D scanner consistent with the one or more movement commands through at least a portion of the shopping facility and proximate the select area of the product support structure.
