Electronic Shelf Labels (ESL) | Retail pricing, inventory management | E-paper display (0.1W power consumption▲▲▲ vs LCD’s 10W) Plastic material (MIL-STD-810G tested) NFC-enabled (ISO/IEC 14443) | 100× lower power than LCD (ideal for battery operation) Durable, sunlight-readable Contactless updates via NFC (no manual labor) | Slow refresh rate (1–2 sec) Requires NFC reader for updates Limited color options (black/white/yellow) |
NFC-Enabled Displays | Smart retail, IoT integration | ST25R3911B NFC chip (ISO/IEC 14443) 10-year battery life▲▲ (vs Industry Standard’s 3 years) | Secure, contactless data transfer Long battery life (no frequent replacements) Supports multiple NFC standards (Type A/B) | Requires NFC-enabled devices to interact Higher cost than basic RFID tags Complex setup for non-technical users |
EAS Systems | Loss prevention in retail | RFID tags compliant with ASTM F2148 Anti-collision tech (handles 100+ tags/sec▲▲) | Deters theft (98%+ effectiveness) Scalable for large stores Integrates with POS systems | Potential interference with other RFID systems False alarms in metal-heavy environments Higher upfront cost |
Low-Power Displays | Battery-operated devices, outdoor signage | 0.1W power (100× lower than LCD▲▲▲) Up to 5 years battery life▲▲▲ (vs LCD’s 3 months) | Eco-friendly (reduces e-waste) Cost-effective for remote locations Operates in extreme temps (-20°C to 70°C) | Limited refresh rate (not real-time) Monochrome or grayscale only Slower response to updates |
Compliance-Certified Devices | International retail markets | CE, RoHS, EPR certifications (EU compliance▲▲▲) RoHS-compliant materials (no lead/hazardous substances) | Meets EU regulatory standards (e.g., EPR France/Germany) Reduces legal risks Streamlines global distribution | Higher production costs Longer certification timelines Less flexibility for custom designs |
NFC Development Kits | Prototyping, IoT testing | ST25R3911B NFC board (supports 13.56 MHz) Preloaded SDK▲▲ (saves 50% dev time) Multi-protocol support (ISO 15693, FeliCa) | Easy prototyping (drag-and-drop SDK) Compatible with Arduino/Python▲▲ Cost-effective for R&D | Requires technical expertise Not plug-and-play for beginners Limited to NFC-specific applications |
