Electronic price tags

Digital price labelling (ESL) for increased efficiency in retail

Digital price tags summarised:

Electronic price labels (ESL) with e-ink technology are small displays that are attached to shelves to show prices and product information. They only require power when updating, so their batteries last a particularly long time. Price changes can be made in real time and centrally, which saves on paper labels and ensures that price labelling is always up-to-date and error-free. This can lead to significant savings, particularly in terms of labour costs.

Electronic price tags (electronic shelf labels)

What are electronic price labels (ESL)?

Electronic shelf labels (ESLs) are digital displays that are attached directly to shelves to display price and product information. They are usually based on energy-efficient E-Ink technology, which is characterised by excellent readability. These displays only require power when updating, which enables a long battery life.

With ESL systems, price and information changes can be managed centrally and carried out in real time. This reduces the need for manual adjustments and minimises errors, such as outdated price labelling. Thanks to seamless integration with merchandise management systems, price information is automatically synchronised, ensuring efficient and error-free management.

Areas of application for ESL

Electronic price tags are used in various areas of retail, including supermarkets, electronics stores and pharmacies. They are particularly advantageous in sectors with frequently changing prices or special offers. In addition to flexibility and time savings, ESL systems also offer a clear and appealing presentation of information, which significantly improves the customer experience.
