GENERAL DESCRIPTION

  • InforTab Infinite is a fully integrated Store Management Solution comprised of electronic shelf labels, advanced digital signage, inventory and environment management sensors, and asset tracking.
  • They were designed to enrich shoppersʼ’ shopping journeys as well as to assist store operators in their job.

InforTab

  • InforTab shows product and price information, transferred from a server via a gateway. The display on InforTab can be easily designed and configured by using the PARTRON ESL InforTab software.
  • Displays can include special information such as stock status, special discounts, barcodes, graphics, and other relevant data. All InforTabs have batteries, small “coin cells”.
  • InforTabs consume battery power only when they update information during communication with the server.
  • When they are not communicating with the server, InforTabs are normally in sleep mode and consume much less power, even though they are showing information on their displays.

Gateway

  • The gateway relays information from the server to InforTabs and collects battery status, fault notifications and network activity data.

Server

  • The ESL server connects the ESL system with the back-office system and communicates with gateways.
  • There are two types of server: local and central. Local servers are located in a store and control its gateways, while central servers are normally located in data centers and control gateways for all stores.
