Dusseldorf, Germany. 30 May 2022 – European retailers are among the earliest adopters of Electronic Shelf Labels (ELS) around the world. ESLs are used to reduce operational costs through the digitisation of retail. At the EuroCIS 2022 trade fair taking place this week, the developer of digital retail solutions, Hanshow, will present its new IoT platform All-Star (EuroCIS stand 9 D13), which will lead brick-and-mortar retail in Europe into a new era of efficiency and profitability.
Since entering the European market in 2016, Hanshow has been a key driver of digital transformation with nearly 100 million installed ESLs across the continent. Once again, Hanshow will present a whole range of new solutions at EuroCIS 2022, ranging from AI-supported shelf monitoring to shopping carts without an active checkout process and in-store marketing, which are increasingly making up the smart stores of the future.
Among the new technologies to be unveiled by Hanshow at EuroCIS is the All-Star retail IoT platform, which is specifically designed to help retailers go digital. All-Star provides one-stop IoT solutions from IoT device management to digital operations modernisations, enabling its retail customers to rapidly implement IoT device management capabilities, flexibly build business applications, and create custom business connectivity integrate. All of this helps to further advance the operational efficiency of smart stores and enhance the in-store customer experience. The range of key functions spans pricing, inventory management, order picking, geolocation,
The All-Star platform thus functions as an integrated system for managing all of a store’s digital devices, and the corresponding SaaS and private delivery solutions support the integration of unified user authentication and access to third-party applications with an HTTP-based open API. Accordingly, one of the company’s key product innovations is to solve new challenges related to the multitude of IoT devices, all operating on different networks and communicating via different transmission signals. As a result, a store may need several login systems, each with trained operating personnel. All-Star gives access to any retail solution management platform,
In parallel to the All-Star system, Hanshow has also developed the communication protocol that communicates with all Hanshow IoT devices in a single transmission frequency, resulting in a significant reduction in the bandwidth of signal frequencies required up until now.
“Hanshow developed All-Star and the other solutions specifically with global retailers in mind to shape holistic digitisation. All of these new solutions, software and transmission technologies help retailers in Europe to create an exciting new age of digitisation,” says Shiguo Hou, CEO of Hanshow. “This opens up excellent new opportunities. We are just seeing the beginning of what is possible.”
