Electronic Label (E-Label)
E-Label, E-Paper or ESL (Electronic Shelf Label) Most people who know or are familiar with this type of product may think of electronic price tags that can be seen in large super stores such as LOTUS, MACRO, etc. But in fact, E-paper has also been used in industrial factories or warehouses to help make the work system more efficient. It helps from the process of receiving stock, production processes, to delivering products to customers. It can also be used in many other industries such as hospitals, educational institutions or even in offices because it is a solution that helps automate complex work processes or production systems more. It is also a solution that promotes the reduction of paper use and environmental protection.
Electronic Label is a digital display technology that replaces traditional paper labels or tags with electronically programmable and freely changeable information using E-Ink (electronic ink) technology and uses very little battery power. E-Labels are often used in solutions such as retail, logistics and manufacturing (Manufacturing & Automation) to provide real-time information such as Material Label, price tags or other details about the product.
Switch from paper to electronic paper, reduce steps, reduce costs, protect the environment.
How is e-paper better than paper?
- No need for people to change paper, unnecessary cost
- Reduce errors that may affect the image
- Change data such as graphics, numbers, and letters more quickly.
- Reduce costs in various areas such as paper and labor costs.
- Able to manage various data and services better
- Can be operated from a central location and from anywhere with Cloud Platform service.
- Data can be changed via mobile phone without the need for a gateway.
- Reduce paper usage, promote environmental policies
- No worries about inaccurate information, display current information
- Easy to manage, change information or display the number of items on the sign
- Easy to install and replace the old system immediately
- Reduce unnecessary work for employees and officers, help increase more valuable work
- Able to manage information, messages, announcements, warnings or the number of remaining items from a central location, making data management a single standard
- E-Paper Electronic Paper (Labels) is a battery-powered electronic display for convenient and fast data updates on the screen.
- There are various screen sizes and colors to choose from, depending on the needs and usage characteristics.
- Various types of tags can withstand temperatures down to -25 degrees and are waterproof and dustproof to IPX5 & IPX7 standards, supporting use in different environments as needed.
- Can update data in a stand-alone mode without a gateway via mobile devices, tablets.
There is a variety of screen sizes
How it Work?
- Users can use the application via a web browser from anywhere, just by accessing the Internet. Therefore, it is convenient to use via PC, Laptop, Tablet or even via mobile phones, both IOS and Android systems. There is also an API that can work with other existing systems such as ERP, POS, MES, etc.
- Supports commands from the application by connecting the Gateway G1 to the network system, which supports connections via LAN or WIFI in the area where it is required. It covers a maximum radius of 25 meters and can support up to 3,000 tags/300 square meters. Gateways can be added to support a larger number of tags. In the case of no gateway, the screen can also be controlled as a stand-alone via a mobile application.
- E-paper can display results quickly and accurately with BLE 5.0. It can be set to change data according to a specified period of time conveniently when using E-paper with the Gateway, which can change data on the E-paper screen for 20,000 units within just 30 minutes.

Examples of solutions for using E-Label in various industries
1. E-paper for restroom
By changing to using E-paper instead of paper signs that need to be updated regularly, it will make updating information and news more convenient and faster. Just design the sign through the web application as needed. Then just scan each E-paper with your mobile phone and you can immediately update the designed information as needed. This helps reduce workload, reduce time, and most importantly, it reduces paper usage to 0, enhances the organization’s image, and helps preserve the environment.
2. E-paper with Dynamic E-Check sheet for machine inspection
By changing to using E-paper together with an application to create check sheets such as google sheets or google forms, we can change difficult work processes such as checking machines, temperature values, or daily pressure values that were previously done by writing them down on paper and forwarding the information to the responsible person to see if the checked values passed or not. These steps can be complicated and cause delays, and it is also difficult to analyze the data because it is in paper document form. However, when E-paper is used instead of paper, we can set the screen to display various results as needed, such as date, time, status, and when there is a check immediately. It also notifies the person in charge immediately. This allows the person at the work site and the person in charge to see the correct and consistent information in real time.
3. E-label on cart (merchandise cart)
By changing to using E-labels instead of traditional paper labels. with complicated steps Having to print documents all the time, checking information is difficult. When needing to change, need to write or print and stick again. This type of work will be more convenient, helping to reduce steps and personnel. Simply design a sign via web application, install E-label on the cart. When wanting to update information on the sign, simply scan the sign with your mobile phone, then you can update the designed information immediately. And if used together with a gateway, it can be ordered from a central location immediately, helping to reduce workload, reduce time, and importantly, reduce paper usage to 0, enhance corporate image and help preserve the environment.
4. E-label in warehouse to help manage stock
Another solution is to use E-label in the warehouse to help manage stock instead of paper labels. For example, when picking up a piece of work or product from the warehouse, employees can immediately know the stock quantity from the information displayed on the E-label screen, including other information such as part number, name of the work piece, etc. Then, when the work piece is picked up from the box, scan the QR Code or Bar Code displayed on the screen to deduct the stock from the system. The system will then update the data to the screen to change the remaining quantity immediately in real-time. And when the stock is running out, the E-label can be alerted with a message or easy-to-see symbol, helping employees responsible for replenishing the stock to manage and bring in more products easily and quickly, making stock management more automated. The display with LED lights is another feature that helps to find work pieces or products in the warehouse more easily. In cases where employees do not know where the work piece is, perhaps because there are many types of stock, or the employee may be a new employee who is not familiar with where the work piece is in that area, they can search by specifying the Part Number and ordering the LED lights on the E-label to blink. This helps to see the location of the box storing the work piece easier, helping work faster and increasing search efficiency.
