Abstandsmaß, welches durch Division mit den Verpackungsmaßen den aktuellen Füllstand ergibt.To determine the level, the dimensions of the goods or packaging must be deposited for each article in a merchandise information system his. The goods presentation device transmits a length or distance, which by division with the packaging dimensions gives the current level.

Die erfinderische Vorrichtung erlaubt jedoch ein vorteilhaftes Verfahren zur Ermittlung des Regalfüllstandes, welches so durchgeführt werden kann, dass nach jedem Entnahmevorgang die kapazitive Veränderung und damit der Abstand des Warenschiebers vom Frontanschlag gemessen wird und durch Mittelwertbildung nach mehrmaligem Entnehmen einer Ware automatisch das zur Füllstandsmessung notwendige Dickenmaß der Ware ermittelt wird. Durch ein solches Verfahren erübrigt sich die Einprogrammierung der unterschiedlichen Abmaße der unterschiedlichen Waren, ebenso wie sich eine Anpassung der Warenpräsentationsvorrichtung auf neu dort einzustellende Waren deutlich vereinfacht.However, the inventive device allows an advantageous method to determine the shelf level, which are carried out so can that after each removal process, the capacitive change and thus the distance of the goods slider measured from the front stop and by averaging after repeated withdrawals a product automatically the thickness required for level measurement the goods are determined. Such a procedure is unnecessary the programming of the different dimensions of the different ones Goods, as well as an adjustment of the goods presentation device on new goods to be adjusted there significantly simplified.

Vorteilhaft ist es des Weiteren, dass in der elektronischen Recheneinheit der Warenpräsentationsvorrichtung diverse Informationen abgelegt werden können, etwa Verbraucherwerte wie Verkaufspreis inkl. der Grundeinheit, Statuswerte wie der Füllstand oder das Datum der letzten Preisänderung oder etwa Systemwerte wie die Lebensdauer der Batterie, IP-Adresse oder die EAN-Nummer des Produktes.

Die Sensoreinheit muss nicht notwendigerweise in Form eines Kondensators aufgebaut sein, sie könnte ebenfalls die Stellung des Warenschiebers mechanisch, elektrisch oder elektronisch erfassen, wie etwa durch einen Widerstandsdraht oder eine Widerstandsschicht im Führungsleitprofil und einem als Schleifer ausgebildeten Warenschieber oder aus einem absolut kodierten Magnetstreifen ausgeführt sein oder aus einem Drehgeber an der Spiralfederachse des Federstahlbandes im Schiebergehäuse bestehen, ebenso wie die Wegmessung des Warenschiebers auch induktiv erfolgen könnte oder Dehnungsmessstreifen auf dem Federstahlband angeordnet sein könnten, wobei die Spannung der Feder im Verhältnis zu deren Auszugslänge stehen würde. Des Weiteren ist die Verwendung einer Infraroteinheit zur Wegmessung denkbar.The sensor unit does not necessarily have to be in the form of a capacitor It could also be the position of the goods slider detect mechanically, electrically or electronically, such as by a resistance wire or a resistance layer in the Führungsleitprofil and designed as a slider Sch at or from be executed an absolutely coded magnetic stripe or from a Rotary encoder on the spiral spring axis of the spring steel strip in the valve body exist, as well as the distance measurement of the product pusher could also be made inductively or strain gauges on the spring steel strip could be arranged, the tension of the spring would be in proportion to their extension length. Furthermore, the Use of an infrared unit for path measurement conceivable.

Bei der Auswahl einer anderen als kapazitiven Sensoreinheit könnte auch der Vorschubantrieb des Warenschiebers modifiziert werden, etwa durch Druck- oder Zug-Schraubenfedern. Der Vorschub könnte auch elektromotorisch, hydraulisch oder pneumatisch erzeugt werden oder durch Gravitationskräfte durch eine schräg nach hinten oben oder gar senkrecht nach oben gerichtete Lagerung der Waren oder Warenverpackungen, wobei dann eine Abstimmung von Sensoreinheit und Vorschubantrieb erfolgen muss.Choosing a sensor other than capacitive could also the feed drive of the product pusher are modified, for example by Compression or tension coil springs. The feed could also be electromotive, be generated hydraulically or pneumatically or by Gravitational forces through an obliquely backward upward or even vertically upward storage of goods or packagings, where then a vote of sensor unit and feed drive must be done.

Die Warenpräsentationsvorrichtung ist des Weiteren mit weiteren Sensoren wie etwa für das Gewicht der Ware, die Temperatur im Regal, Bewegungssensoren oder auch mit optischen Bildaufnahme- und Überwachungsvorrichtungen aufrüstbar. The goods presentation device is further provided with further sensors such as the weight of the goods, the temperature on the shelf, motion sensors or also with optical image recording and monitoring devices upgradeable.
