2.4G Electronic Shelf Labels

Are Effirox ESL system compatible with existing retail management systems?

Effirox electronic price tags are compatible with existing systems (such as POS systems,inventory management systems,etc.. Through APl or other integration methods, stores can easily integrate the electronic labeling system with existing processes.

How do Effirox electronic shelf labels work?

Effirox ESLs are connected to the central control system via 2.4G wireless technology. When prices, product information or promotions need to be updated, users only need to make changes in the platform, and all the digital labels will be automatically updated within seconds.

What is the main technology used for wireless connection between ESLs and the base station?
We use a private protocol based on 2.4Ghz frequency range. The advantages of private protocol are interference-free, low power consumption, high capacity in data transmission, reliable, stable and safe.
What kind of battery do you use for the ESL?

We use CR2450 button cell battery pack. Depending on the usage. In a scenario where the digital label is changed 2 times a day, the battery should last for around 5 years. The battery is replaceable, users can replace the battery pack by themselves.

Can I manage more than 1 store in using your ESL system?

Yes. You can manage more than 1 store with our system via cloud server or local server(computer).

How many price tags can you manage with one gateway?

Theoretically, there is no limit to the number of ESL devices that the base station can access. However, in an indoor environment like a supermarket, due to the physical barriers of the walls and pillars, we have verified many times and tested it out that when the number of price tags is around 2000, the base station can exert excellent performance.

What level of scalability does the software support in terms of number of ESLs and stores?

The ESL software is designed for chain stores and has no limit on the number of stores. You can expand it indefinitely as long as your server can handle the number of devices.

Our software does not require high server configuration, which can help customers save IT investment.

A server (computer) with a CPU 4 cores, 8GB of memory, and a 100GB hard disk can support 40,000 tags and more than 100,000 products (single store or multiple stores).
