Q
How do electronic shelf labels work?
Minewtag ESLs use BLE 5.0 to receive updates from a central cloud platform via in-store gateways. When a price or product detail is changed in the system, the update is sent wirelessly and displayed on the label within seconds.
Each label is built with a wireless receiver, a power-efficient e-ink display, and a battery designed to last 5–10 years, enabling reliable performance with minimal energy use. This system ensures real-time, accurate pricing with minimal maintenance.
Q
What software is required to manage electronic labels?
Minewtag provides a robust, cloud-based ESL management platform, along with a companion mobile app, for configuring and controlling your digital labels. The software supports centralized price updates, label template design, promotion scheduling, and real-time device monitoring. Whether you use MinewTag’s platform or your own, we provide the tools and support needed to ensure a smooth and scalable deployment.
Q
Can digital price tags display information other than price?
Yes, Minewtag labels offer customizable templates that can display not only prices but also product names, barcodes, QR codes, stock levels, promotional details, expiration dates, and even custom icons or graphics. Some models are also equipped with LED indicators to help users identify items for picking or restocking tasks more efficiently.
Q
Can ESLs be integrated with POS or inventory systems?
Yes, Minewtag ESL system integrates seamlessly with point-of-sale (POS) and inventory management systems. Through well-documented open APIs, our platform can communicate directly with your backend, enabling real-time synchronization of pricing, product data, and stock levels. This ensures accurate shelf-edge information while minimizing manual effort and operational errors.
Q
Can the price display layout be customized for different product categories?
Yes. MinewTag ESLs support fully customizable display templates, allowing you to tailor layouts for specific product. Using our cloud platform or your own integrated system, you can adjust font sizes, colors, icons, and information fields—such as price, barcode, QR code, or promotional messages—so each category is presented in the most effective way for customers.
Q
Are there waterproof or outdoor ESL options available?
Yes. We offer ESL models that are IP-rated waterproof and can operate in low-temperature environments, making them ideal for areas such as refrigerated sections and frozen food displays. But they are not intended for outdoor use.
