Abstract

See full text

Apparatus and methods to determine in-aisle locations in monitored environments are disclosed. An example apparatus includes first and second sensors in communication with a location meter. The first sensor is to detect (1) a first sequence of position indicators when the location meter is moving along an aisle of a monitored environment in a first direction, or (2) a second sequence of the position indicators when the location meter is moving along the aisle in a second direction opposite the first direction. The second sensor is to detect (1) the second sequence of position indicators when the location meter is moving along the aisle in the first direction, or (2) the first sequence of the position indicators when the location meter is moving along the aisle in the second direction. An in-aisle position of the location meter is to be determined based on the first and second sequences of position indicators.
