Recently, every retail store has been trying to manage inventory automatically. However, at current convenience stores, employees do all the replenishing of beverages on display shelves in showcases manually. If employees can replenish beverages only when needed, it will lead to a reduction in human costs. Furthermore, it will be easier to collect data such as sales by beverage. The purpose of this research is to construct a system that monitors the beverages lined up on the display shelves of convenience stores using a TOF sensor and automatically measures the number of beverages. The target is PET bottled beverages, and we propose a method for counting the number of bottles using appropriate exposure rate and depth value, and conduct evaluation experiments.
