More and more modern enterprises discover applications for electronic shelf labels (ESL), especially in critical tasks that can be automated and simplified and therefore become safer. Electronic shelf labels can display alerts, information concerning shelves, containers or machines and facilitate a user-network-interface for direct interaction via NFC-technology, BLE or integrated action buttons. Our electronic solution automates and simplifies daily tasks, which results in cost and downtime reduction in comparison to paper based applications. In general, a good deal of signage and other paper products that change frequently can be replaced by digital e-ink displays.

Advantages of the digitalization through ESL systems are, for example, fast updates, which provide more flexibility without additional material consumption. Processes can be optimized and automated, making the manual distribution of paper material or swapping of paper labels a thing of the past.

Also worth mentioning, are logistic benefits that come from digital labelling. If you’re looking to centralize your shelf, pallet, container or room signage, then ESL tags are the perfect tool for real-time, organized and on-demand signage, unifying, grouping and sorting information. Even whole workflows can be illustrated and pre-loaded onto the digital labels for flexible viewing, even in difficult environments like wet or sterile rooms.

Another advantage of electronic shelf labels on material boxes, chutes or others is the inclusion of action buttons that can reorder missing goods, send alerts or initialize automated processes on demand. This prevents failures during operation.

The content of electronic shelf labels can be changed flexibly and at the touch of a button, thus warnings and new information are displayed quickly when updating or changing the content.

An additional field of application of digital labels in the industrial sector is warehouse management. For this purpose, electronic shelf labels can be managed centrally. Action buttons for example can be used to deregister the goods or to have an overview of the inventory. In addition, with larger digital signage at the end of a shelf, the warehouse management becomes clear and can flexibly be adapted to changes.

With the pick-by-light technology of the Button Labels, it is possible to check the current stock level at any time. Simultaneously, desired items can be found quickly and easily by employees. If the stock of goods is nearing its end or there is a risk of out-of-stock situations, a single push of a button is all that is needed to activate the reordering process.

The electronic shelf labels are also equipped with the possibility of geo-location through the trolley tracking function to track the delivery process. Thanks to the roaming solution, data is stored digitally, which greatly reduces paper consumption.

The digital display of all important device information on the ESLs enables quick and easy device management. With the help of the NFC tagging function, it is also possible to set and activate the timing of technical checks.
