Displaydata has announced exciting developments showcased at NRF’s Big Show. The company demonstrated a mobile app that features personalized augmented reality (AR) navigation and the leading electronic shelf labels (ESLs) to deliver near real-time promotional and product information. Additionally, Displaydata exhibited wireless power advancements in its ESLs, demonstrating battery-free ESLs using wireless charging.
Largest ESL Operations in the U.S
These developments will help strengthen Displaydata’s position as the world’s leading ESL vendor with the largest ESL operations in the U.S and more support staff and experts than any other ESL provider. The company is number one in the adoption of ESLs by the world’s leading tier-one retailers and has double the number of store installations compared to any other ESL vendor in the U.S.
This is due to the company’s proven ability to help its retail customers increase sales, reduce operational costs, improve pricing strategies, provide an enhanced in-store experience, and free store associates from manual pricing to focus on service and merchandising.
Industry-Leading ESLs with Consistent Omnichannel Experience
Displaydata also showcased the world’s first battery-free ESL using wireless charging. Developed to meet the growing needs of tier-one retailers, Displaydata’s ESLs have been designed and built to support use of Ossia’s Cota wireless power. This key advancement enables Displaydata’s ESLs to receive power over the air, at a distance, without the need for plugs, pads, or line-of-sight.
Displaydata’s wirelessly powered ESLs can easily be installed to transform the in-store experience and help retailers grow basket sizes, protect margins, cut waste, ensure compliance, and quickly and accurately launch price and promos to create a consistent omnichannel experience.

“
This year at NRF, we are proud to demonstrate the future of ESLs and their ability to create a seamless omnichannel experience, launch compelling price and promo changes, reduce waste, ensure price accuracy and improve associate utilization,” said Andrew Dark, CEO, Displaydata.
“Displaydata is the fastest growing ESL vendor with the largest installed ESL solution in the U.S. and ranks number one in the adoption of ESLs by the world’s leading tier-one retailers. As forward-thinking retailers continue to implement our labels at a rapid rate, these new capabilities will help our customers boost sales, protect margins, and consistently manage price and promo strategies across all channels.”
