Adjusting prices with paper labels is time consuming. A large number of staff are required to maintain paper price tags, but mistakes are still inevitable. The wrong price can result in check-out delays, consumer complaints, and higher operating expenses.

Electronic Shelf Labels (ESLs) are on the rise in retail due to IoT expansion. Huawei ESL Solution simplifies network deployment by using APs that support Bluetooth, RFID, Zigbee, and other IoT technologies.

Customer Pain Points: Traditional ESL deployment is expensive. It uses wireless and additional ESL networks that require separate maintenance. Huawei reduces costs by converging Wi-Fi with Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) via 2.4G wireless band.

Huawei ESL Solution: The Huawei ESL base station is built into one network suite, so it transmits accurate price information directly from the management system to the ESL. Prices can be changed on-demand and are displayed electronically – in real time.
