The concept is elegant in its simplicity:
1. Attach Tags
Every trolley receives a small tag—usually affixed to the handle or underneath the basket.
2. Install Readers
Strategic "chokepoints" in the store are outfitted with invisible readers:
-
Main entrance/exit
-
Store boundaries (where trolleys might be taken)
-
Key aisles or departments
-
Trolley bays
3. Track Movement
When a trolley passes within range of a reader, its unique ID is logged, along with the timestamp and location.
4. Process Data
The system analyzes the data to provide insights on trolley distribution, movement patterns, and availability.
