Zusammenfassung:This application relates to automated processes for assigning item categories to fixtures of a floorplan. For example, a computing device may obtain layout data for a retail location. The layout data may identify and characterize a location of fixtures, such as shelving, end caps, and aisles, within the retail location. The computing device also determines a plurality of placement options for each of a plurality of categories based on applying at least one constraint criteria to the layout data. Further, the computing device determines one of the plurality of placement options for each of the plurality of categories based on applying objective criteria to the plurality of placement options for the plurality of categories. The computing device also generates assignment data assigning each of the plurality of categories to the corresponding one of the plurality of categories. Further, the computing device stores the assignment data in a data repository.
