One of the most extensive IoT-enabled applications within Retail is electronic shelf labeling which encompasses 2.7 billion connected devices according to Transforma Insights. The rapid adoption of wirelessly powered Electronic Shelf Label (ESL) systems/digital price tags is set to revolutionize retail pricing and efficiency.
Paper price tags and battery-powered ESLs have limitations, but wireless IoT-powered ESLs outperform battery-powered solutions in dynamic pricing, sustainability, design, and ROI. The cost is competitive, and the benefits extend beyond retail. IoT empowers retailers to maintain real-time price updates and efficient inventory management through connected devices, enabling dynamic pricing and ensuring products are always available.
