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 17):
The method of  claim 16 , further comprising:\n identifying, relative to a mapping of the shopping facility, a route between a determined location of the motorized transport unit within the shopping facility and a destination location within the shopping facility; and identifying the one or more movement commands configured to control movement of the motorized transport unit to cause the motorized transport unit to move to the destination location in accordance with the route; wherein the causing the communication of the one or more movement commands comprises causing the communication of the one or more movement commands to the motorized transport unit to cause the motorized transport unit to control its movements in accordance with the one or more movement commands and consistent with the route.
