Shelf Edge Technology: Digital Price Tags Using Renewable Energy

Shelf-edge technology is one of the few up-and-coming technologies that could change the whole experience of shopping. About 1 billion trees worth of paper are generally thrown out each year, a portion of this from the retail industry causing the ever-growing problems of deforestation. Digital tags from edge technology are basically electronic shelf labels that are able to showcase the price per row. The battery life is another factor that must be accounted in the study of digital tags as it does not only accommodate floor automation use, but also improvement of electronic shelves labels.
