Enabling years of additional high value, low latency, real-time functionality at the shelf edge

With the heightened focus on enhanced store efficiency and advanced customer engagement use cases, Pricer is also announcing new shelf edge capabilities:

The highly successful SmartTag product range receives a major line extension with the introduction of the SmartTag Power and Power Plus families. These new products deliver:           

• performance enhancements such as sub-second response time for both display and flash         
• dramatically extended battery capacity giving useable power equivalent to 10 and 20 years*            
• enhanced sustainability with reduced energy utilization and recyclability         
• multicolor (7 colors) and multi-intensity (4 levels) flash           
• innovative new attachment system integrated into label

This capability dramatically increases the number of updates per day and flash usage that continues to limit traditional radio-based ESLs use of advanced capabilities for in-store process efficiency.

The new Pricer Shelf Vision system introduces a unique range of shelf based visual and other sensor technologies that leverages the Plaza platform, including patented methods, to capture shelf data that no other shelf vision solution can do. For high scalability the system is completely wireless and has the same attachment capabilities as the SmartTag labels allowing low cost deployments in key locations within the store. This product range enables advanced applications such as automated out-of-stock detection and management, realogram/planogram and merchandizing compliance as well as sophisticated shelf optimization.

And finally, Pricer is announcing a series of additional services to dramatically enhance the retail customer and partners experience. From Advanced APIs, seamless integration and advanced planning, installation, maintenance and support services, Pricer is providing a complete range of advanced services that reduce the complexity and dramatically increase the progress to achieving faster ROI and lower TCO of in-store deployment.

Pricer will be present in Hall 6 at booth 6A23 and other partner booths.

"EuroShop has always been key to our focus on serving both the European and global smart retail market," says Helena Holmgren, CEO at Pricer. "We are looking forward to presenting our industry leading Pricer Plaza architecture and our vision for delivering foundational and advanced real-time capabilities for our customers."

EuroShop 2020 is the largest retail technology trade shows in the world and is held in Dusseldorf, Germany on February 16-20, 2020. Pricer will be present at booth 6A23, hall 6.

*Actual lifetime calculations must be based on analysis of use case, length of deployment and environmental conditions.
