7 Specials Line-killer The Line-killer solution is in essence a portable ESL. The customer takes the linekiller device along during shopping. When finished shopping a simple press on the button will indicate how long it will take before the first cash register is available. The device will start to count down and, through led indicators and a beep sound, it is made clear to the customer to proceed to the designated cash register when available. The customer will stay longer in the shopping area instead of waiting in line, generating more sales. The line-killer comes with a 1.5 display, LED light and 3 buttons which can be controlled remotely. 10 TFT Display The 10 TFT display is developed for fruit and vegetable areas, but can also be deployed on end of the aisle promotional areas or in locations where the label needs to be more viewable such as room signs and upper level shelves. The 10 display has an integrated USB port, SD slot and Power over Ethernet enabling other purposes like a business grade tablet, hospitality terminal or a room label. Together with the power rail, this solution provides stability and flexibility to your shop. The solution has an integrated lock system, enabling fixed mounting of the display or shifting it to another position. Without the special key, the display cannot be removed ensuring factual information on the right location. On the same power rail other e-papers displays, larger screens, lighting or other solutions requiring power can be easily mounted providing flexibility to your shelves. Motion detector Opticon s Motion Detector enables live content on a display in line with the customer s actual interest. A small tag can be applied onto any product with a removable adhesive or tie wrap.

An attractive return on investment is to rent out the display space to suppliers. Together with NFC and/or ibeacon the display can interact with the customer and create personalized content on the spot. When adding our LED lighting, even single products can be highlighted to give it special attention. _ESL_ On this shelf a low cost camera system can be attached to control stock levels, including alignment of products of a shelf. It even provides feedback to a store manager or to headquarters to inform staff when a shelf needs to be refilled or the value of the shelf is needed. The last part is especially interesting when renting out shelves to other companies. They often are not aware what their stock value is or are informed too late that their shelf is empty. This system can also determine how long a customer is staying in front of certain products, and if they take the product of the shelf. Valuable information for every retailer.
