1. A shelving display system comprising:
an electronic display configured to be attached to a customer facing edge of a shelf;
multiple object sensors configured to be mounted to the shelf and configured to detect a presence of one or more objects within a respective width of the shelf associated with a respective one of the object sensors; and
a controller configured to interface with the electronic display and the multiple object sensors, the controller further configured to perform operations comprising:
controlling, based on input from the multiple object sensors, the electronic display to present one or more images relevant to whether a particular object is present in each respective width of the shelf, the images being determined based on a planogram that associates at least one object sensor with product data of an individual type of product expected to be located on the respective width of the shelf associated with the at least one object sensor, wherein each respective width of the shelf is assigned to an individual group of pixels spanning a width of the electronic display that corresponds with the respective width of the shelf; and
responsive to a change in input from a particular object sensor indicating that the particular object has been removed from a particular width of the shelf associated with the particular object sensor, altering a particular group of pixels associated with the particular object sensor.
