      Product Pushers Overview

      What are product pushers and how to assemble them

      Content Overview

      What are product pushers?

      "Product pushers" or "shelf merchandizers" are spring-loaded accessories placed on each shelf to push all the products to the front of the fridge ("facing"). Facing helps your storefront look organized, stocked, tidy and attractive to enable a smooth and intuitive shopping experience.

      Additionally, front-facing products improves the detection accuracy of the Micormart Vision System and as such, Micromart approved product pushers are required to be used in every Smart Store. 

      How do I know which product pushers I need?

      Based on the products that you'd like to stock, Micromart will provide the appropriate product pushers for your Smart Fridge or Pantry. We take the guesswork out of the different spring forces, wall heights and numerous components required by kitting exactly what you need per shelf making installation and usage a breeze.

      Simply tell your Micromart point-of-contact which products and planogram you'd like for your store, and we'll take care of the rest.

       

      Micromart-approved product pushers are required to be used to ensure a great shopping experience and enhance vision system detection accuracy. Micromart will provide the appropriate pushers for your product selection.

       

      What's inside the Accessories Box

      Your Accessories Box is a custom packed box that will contain all the components required for one cabinet. It will include:

      • 25x eTags (in a small box)
      • eTag mounting rails
      • Variety of Pusher components (depending on your planogram) 

      eTag and Pusher Mounting Rails

      • eTag Mounting Rails are first attach to the front of each shelf. Once installed, the eTags snap into the mounting rail. 
      • Pusher Mounting Rails are used for each non-beverage shelf, and serve as the backbone to which all non-beverage pushers clip in to. 

      Drink Pushers

      • These pushers are for your cans and bottles, generally under 20oz
      • If installing a drink pushers on the bottom shelf, zip tie the drink pusher as far forward to the shelf as possible and ensure that it does not slide back

      Confectionary Pushers

      • These pushers are ideal for chocolates, candy bars, protein bars, etc. They have a "light" spring to ensure products can be pushed forward without compromising product quality.
         

      Snack Bag / Chip Pushers

      • These pushers are for your snack, chip or other air-filled bags. They have an "ultra light" spring to ensure products can be pushed forward without compromising product quality. 

       

      Peg-Pack & Incidentals Pushers

      • These pushers are for your heavier peg-packs (candy bags, jerky bags) or incidentals (OTC medication, toothpaste, face wipes etc). They have a "medium" spring to ensure heavier products can be pushed forward without compromising product quality.
