Configurable item display dolly

Abstract:

Examples provide a configurable item display dolly. The item display dolly includes a plurality of attachment slots for attaching support arms that hold trays and/or items. In a closed configuration, the support arms are configured to hold the trays a minimum distance apart. In an open configuration, two or more of the support arms are separated a maximum distance apart to enable users to access items on the item display dolly. The item display dolly transports trays of items from a storage area in a transport mode and converts to an item display device in a display mode. A controller component analyzes sensor data, including weight data and temperature data, to update item display dolly inventory, identify broken/damaged items, alert users when trays are empty and/or trigger maintenance or other action if temperature levels fall outside acceptable cold-chain compliance temperature ranges.
