Electronic shelf labels (ESL) are connected, low-power ‘e-paper’ display devices that can replace traditional paper labels and can display text, numbers, icons, lines, barcodes and pictures. They enable retailers to automatically update individual shelf price labels from a central point across multiple stores and branches—or in certain geographic locations—at the touch of a button.
In the rapidly evolving landscape of IoT, battery life is paramount for device sustainability. We dissect the challenges and strategies for battery longevity of LPWAN IoT devices. Explore battery profiling and optimization for extended device life and reduced costs.
Knowing the distance between two short-range transceivers is useful for many applications. Examples include proximity measurement for making sure people maintain a set distance apart for safety reasons, indoor navigation, and tracking items in a warehouse.
This article explores how thoughtful power architecture helps IoT and portable devices run longer, stay stable, and perform reliably by managing energy flow, sequencing, and power domains more intelligently.
Discover how Industry 4.0, 5.0, and AI are transforming control panels into intelligent, secure, and scalable systems for modern industrial automation.
Barcodes play a key role across industries for tasks like inventory management, asset tracking, and quality control, where traceability is required. OMRONs VHV5-F enables accurate barcode reading on every surface, from curved metals to glossy packaging, even in the harshest environments.

Smart lighting company Signify reports that replacing conventional street lighting with energy-efficient LEDs is an effective way to reduce energy consumption and associated emissions.
Despite an enormous effort and a significant reduction in fatality rates, mining remains one of the most hazardous industries for workers. However, new technologies are starting a safety revolution, while simultaneously fueling the mining industry’s digital transformation.
A positive shift is taking place towards more advanced and specific digital healthcare for women. The so-called ‘femtech’ (female technology) industry has belatedly begun to deliver on the promise of solutions using wireless connectivity to help address women’s health issues.
In this episode, we explore the dynamic landscape of retail transformation in the digital age. Learn how the integration of cutting-edge technology is reshaping shopping experiences and customer engagement. From real-time supply monitoring to digital shelves enabling dynamic pricing based on demand, discover how retailers adapt to changing consumer behaviors and preferences.
Sensor and actuator networks are systems that collect and transmit data from a physical environment for digital processing. Data is collected at sensors and actuators in the field, then digitized at the sensor or actuator. The digitized data can be used for a variety of applications, and the method for data processing depends on the application
A pivotable moment in the remarkable rise of wireless innovation can be traced back a quarter of a century to the emergence of Bluetooth – an interoperable protocol that became a standard, accompanied by an open specification for both hardware and software. In its various forms, Bluetooth has powered a significant segment of the connected world ever since.
Energy harvesting for IoT provides a sustainable power solution, enabling self-sufficient devices that extract energy from their surrounding environment, enhancing longevity and reducing maintenance requirements
