How ESL Systems Work
Most ESL systems follow a simple process: transmit, update, and display. All product information is processed and packed by the label management software. Through a wireless connection, these packets of data are then passed through the communication system. The packets of data are then organized by product before being sent to the appropriate electronic shelf label. Finally, the data reaches the ESL terminal and is displayed on its screen.
While long distances between the system and ESLs may pose a challenge for retailers, they can overcome this by ensuring a stable and reliable connection is always present. This connection enables the electronic shelf label to function as both the transmitter and receiver from the communication station of the system. It can send data to the software and also display whatever information has been configured from the management software.
