Abstract:
In some embodiments, apparatuses and methods are provided herein useful to provide a visual indication of a weight of products stocked on a display assembly, such as a shelf of a shelving unit. The visual indication is provided by virtue of the display assembly having a product support member that sequentially flattens as additional weight is added thereto. A laser device can be mounted proximate to the assembly and oriented to determine a distance to the product support member and a control circuit can be configured to receive the distance and analyze the distance to determine a deflection of the product support member to determine a current stock level.

Claim (Index 8):
The stock level indication system of  claim 1 , wherein the back wall is angled outwardly so as to be at an acute angle with horizontal and includes an intermediate opening or transparent portion, such that the shelves are disposed at least partially laterally adjacent to one another when viewed from above the shelving unit.
