Accurate Product Placement

摘要

A multiple-way matching or correlation process guides placement of a particular product at a target placement location. The process may include providing a product package that includes a non-textual placement guidance symbol externally visible on the product package and providing a product container that includes the non-textual placement guidance symbol externally visible on the product container. The process may include providing one or more labels adapted for placement at different locations proximate to the target placement location for the particular product. The labels may include the non-textual placement guidance symbol to visually guide stocking of the particular product to the target placement location. Correlation (e.g., through exact matching) between the non-textual placement guidance symbol on the packaging or container with the non-textual placement guidance symbols on the labels allows for efficient and accurate placement of the particular product at the target placement location.
