A universal escapement is provided that is configured to receive inventory products of different shapes from a dispensing system carrier unit in substantially the same orientation, and to read informational indicia on the inventory product. The escapement includes a slide plate having an integral glass portion, a reader disposed behind the glass portion to read indicia on the inventory products and scan images of the inventory products before labeling, a plurality of imaging devices configured to read informational indicia on the sides and ends of the products, and an imaging device configured to read informational indicia on a label after it is applied to the inventory product. The escapement includes a shuttle assembly having a plurality of imaging devices configured to read information indicia on the bottom of the inventory products. The escapement also includes first and second guide members movably disposed for receiving inventory products of various sizes therebetween.

1. A universal escapement configured to receive inventory products of different shapes from a dispensing system carrier unit in substantially the same orientation, and to read informational indicia on the inventory product, comprising: a. a slide plate having a glass portion integrally disposed on the slide plate;b. a reader disposed behind the glass portion of the slide plate to read informational indicia on the inventory products and scan images of the inventory products before labeling;c. a plurality of imaging devices configured to read informational indicia on the sides and ends of the inventory products;d. an imaging device configured to read informational indicia on a label after it is applied to the inventory product;e. a shuttle assembly including an imaging device configured to read information indicia on the bottom of the inventory products; andf. wherein the shuttle assembly includes a cylinder configured to position the shuttle assembly below the inventory product. 2. The escapement of claim 1, wherein the shuttle assembly imaging devices include a line scan camera configured to scan informational indicia on a cylindrical surface of the inventory product as it is rotated within the escapement. 3. The escapement of claim 1, further including first and second guide members movably disposed for receiving inventory products of various sizes therebetween. 4. An escapement system for receiving inventory products of different shapes from a dispensing system carrier unit in substantially the same orientation and reading informational indicia on the inventory product, the escapement system comprising: an escapement structure comprising: a mounting structure; a guide operably coupled with the mounting structure and configured to receive and position the inventory product from the dispensing system carrier unit for reading of the informational indicia in a first position; and a plurality of first imaging devices operably coupled with the mounting structure and configured to read the informational indicia on the inventory products when the inventory product is in the first position;a shuttle assembly comprising a slide plate positioned above a cylindrical-sided product scanning station and a flat-sided product scanning station, wherein the shuttle assembly is positioned beneath and configured to translate relative to the escapement structure to position the inventory product above one of the cylindrical-sided product scanning station or the flat-sided scanning station; andwherein the cylindrical sided product scanning station includes a pair of rollers configured to rotate a cylindrical-sided inventory product such that a label on the cylindrical-sided inventory product is viewable by an imaging device positioned within the cylindrical-sided product scanning station. 5. The escapement system of claim 4, wherein a top surface of the slide plate is configured to support the inventory product in the first position. 6. The escapement system of claim 4, wherein, in the first position, the inventory product resides between sidewalls of the guide and a top surface of the slide plate of the shuttle assembly. 7. The escapement system of claim 4, further comprising a control unit in operable communication with the escapement system and configured to position a flat-sided inventory product generally above the flat-sided product scanning station for reading of the informational indicia on the inventory product. 8. The escapement system of claim 4, further comprising a control unit in operable communication with the escapement system and configured to position a cylindrical-sided inventory product generally above the cylindrical-sided product scanning station for reading of the informational indicia on the inventory product. 9. The escapement system of claim 4, wherein the flat-sided product scanning station includes a transparent portion such that an inventory product in the first position is viewable by an imaging device positioned within the flat-sided product scanning station. 10. An escapement system for receiving inventory products of different shapes from a dispensing system carrier unit in substantially the same orientation and reading informational indicia on the inventory product, the escapement system comprising: an escapement structure comprising: a mounting structure; a guide operably coupled with the mounting structure and configured to receive and position the inventory product from the dispensing system carrier unit for reading of the informational indicia in a first position; and a plurality of first imaging devices operably coupled with the mounting structure and configured to read the informational indicia on the inventory products when the inventory product is in the first position;a shuttle assembly comprising a slide plate positioned above a cylindrical-sided product scanning station and a flat-sided product scanning station, wherein the shuttle assembly is positioned beneath and configured to translate relative to the escapement structure to position the inventory product above one of the cylindrical-sided product scanning station or the flat-sided scanning station; and wherein the shuttle assembly translates on a track via a cylinder. 11. The escapement system of claim 4, wherein the cylindrical-sided product scanning station comprises a line scan camera positioned therein and configured to read the informational indicia on the inventory product when the inventory product includes cylindrical sides. 12. The escapement system of claim 4, wherein the flat-sided product scanning station comprises a second imaging device positioned therein and configured to read the informational indicia on the inventory product when the inventory product includes flat sides. 13. The escapement system of claim 4, wherein the plurality of first imaging devices includes a first imaging device and a second imaging device positioned generally orthogonal to the first imaging device. 14. The escapement system of claim 13, wherein the plurality of first imaging devices includes a third imaging device positioned above the first and second imaging devices and configured to read the informational indicia on the inventory product. 15. The escapement system of claim 14, wherein the plurality of first imaging devices are in operable communication with a control unit that is configured to receive communications from the plurality of first imaging devices. 16. The escapement system of claim 15, wherein the control unit is configured to verify that a label affixed to the inventory product matches the inventory product. 17. The escapement system of claim 16, wherein, upon verification by the control unit, a hold-back door is opened and the inventory product is ejected from the escapement system. 18. The escapement system of claim 4, wherein the mounting structure comprises a mounting platform.
