Etiquetas eletrônicas inteligentes: uma solução IOT com E-INK para modernização ao dos varejos

Abstract

Currently, with the constant advancement of technologies aimed at data acquisition and analy sis, the ability to respond quickly to market fluctuations has become essential to maintain competitiveness in the retail sector. In this context, large commercial establishments may face operational bottlenecks in updating product prices at physical points of sale, since part of the systems in use still relies on manually applied labels, which must be replaced with each price change or modification in product arrangement. As alternatives to this traditional model, some retail chains have adopted intermediate solutions, such as thermal printers with updatable bar codes, systems based on QR Codes linked to price databases, or even configurable electronic labels. This work proposes a centralized solution based on replacing printed paper labels with digital displays using e-ink technology, aiming to automate the labeling process, reduce ope rational costs and human errors, and provide greater agility, accuracy, and reliability in price management within the retail environment.
