How do electronic shelf labels work?

Electronic shelf labels (ESLs) are digital devices that replace traditional paper price tags on store shelves. ESLs are typically used in retail environments such as grocery stores, supermarkets, and department stores to display prices, product information, promotions, and other relevant details.

ESLs use wireless communication technology such as Bluetooth, NFC, or Wi-Fi to connect to a central server or a cloud-based system. This allows retailers to remotely update pricing and other product information in real-time across their entire store network without manual updates.

ESLs provide several benefits to retailers and consumers alike. Retailers can reduce labor costs associated with manual price updates, improve pricing accuracy, and quickly respond to pricing changes or promotions. Consumers benefit from improved pricing transparency, the ability to quickly compare prices and product information, and a more modern shopping experience.

Overall, ESL can help improve operational efficiency and enhance the shopping experience for both retailers and consumers.
