2. What is the ESL?
ESL represents Electronic Shelf Label, which is an electronic label that can be installed on the shelf. It is a label with a E-Paper display for item display, instead of the traditional paper display. The information on the screen is transmitted from the server, the screen display items such as product’s name, price, logo, bar code, production area, etc.
The Electronic Shelf Label system can be managed and maintained easily by an operator in a specific area of the market. You may manage the product information on the Electronic Shelf Label via the terminal control system on a computer, the ESL will update in real time as the update start.

3. How does the Electronic Shelf Label System(ESLS) work?
The Electronic Shelf Label system consisted of input device, host computer, router device, Access Point (AP) device and ESL tag device.
Step one, the user needs to input information for product into the database server, either by manual input or scanner device or import or directly integrate with existing ERP.
Step two, the server will give command and information to various Access Points (AP) set in the market or smart warehouse, each AP controls a group of Electronic Shelf Labels, the AP will transmit the information from the server to each every Electronic Shelf Label via RF.
Last step, each Electronic Shelf Label will receive information and send a feedback message to AP and eventually to the server. If the feedback is correct, Electronic Shelf Label will finally update its new item information, if failed, the server will alarm and prompt to update again.
