Effirox WiFi Electronic Shelf Labels: Wireless Digital Signage for Industrial & Institutional Use
In industrial and institutional environments where real-time information matters, traditional digital signage solutions often fall short. While retail stores typically use 2.4GHz electronic shelf labels with base stations, WiFi-enabled displays solve critical challenges in:
✔ Hospitals – Patient room status boards
✔ Manufacturing – Production line instructions
✔ Warehouses – Mobile picking trolley displays
✔ Offices – Meeting room scheduling
Effirox WiFi Electronic Shelf Labels deliver:
• True wireless operation – No base stations required
• Real-time remote updates – Instant information changes
• 1-year battery life – Despite continuous WiFi connection
Where WiFi Electronic Displays Excel
1. Hospital & Healthcare Applications
- Hospital Bedside Information Card – Show patient data
Why WiFi?
Medical environments need instant updates without installing additional infrastructure. Our displays integrate with hospital management systems via existing WiFi networks.
2. Manufacturing & Warehouse Use
- Production line instructions – Remote updates to workstations
- Picking trolley displays – Real-time inventory guidance
Why WiFi?
Factory floors and warehouses span large areas where wired solutions are impractical. If base stations need to be installed in these locations, it would significantly increase costs. WiFi allows centralized control of dispersed displays.
3. Office & Facility Management
- Meeting room schedules – Sync with Outlook/Google Calendar
- Desk allocation systems – For flexible workspaces
Why WiFi?
Corporate networks already have WiFi coverage – no need for separate ESL infrastructure.
Technical Advantages
1. Always Connected, Ultra Low Power
While most WiFi devices drain batteries quickly, our patented power optimization enables:
• 1-year battery life with continuous WiFi connection
• Rechargeable batteries – Sustainable 500+ cycle life
• No manual wake-up – Unlike Bluetooth/WiFi hybrid solutions
The Bluetooth/WiFi hybrid model demands on-site activation via Bluetooth before backend updates – an inefficient process that fails to deliver genuine remote control, especially across multiple locations.
2. Centralized Cloud Management
Our industrial-grade web portal allows:
• Bulk updates to hundreds of displays simultaneously
• Status monitoring of battery life and connectivity
• Custom templates for different departments/locations
• API integration with existing management systems
3. Rugged Display Options
Available in sizes optimized for industrial use:
• 7.5″ – Ideal for mobile carts and workstations
• 10.2″ – Perfect for room status boards
• 13.3″ – Large format for central displays
The Right Tool for Industrial Digital Signage
While retail ESLs will continue using 2.4 GHz solutions, WiFi electronic displays are transforming industrial and institutional environments by:
✔ Eliminating infrastructure costs of base stations
✔ Enabling real-time updates across facilities
✔ Providing reliable operation in demanding settings
