How MRB’s ESL Software Works: Security, Flexibility, and Unmatched Retail Efficiency
At MRB Retail, we design our Electronic Shelf Label (ESL) software to prioritize data confidentiality, operational autonomy, and seamless integration with retail workflows—addressing the core needs of modern retailers while unlocking tangible efficiency gains. Here’s a detailed breakdown of how our ESL software operates, its deployment model, and the unique advantages that set MRB apart.
Software Operation: From Deployment to Real-Time Pricing
Once you invest in MRB’s ESL software, we provide a complete suite of installation tools and resources, enabling your team to deploy the system directly on your local servers. This deployment model ensures you maintain full control over your infrastructure—no reliance on third-party cloud servers for day-to-day operations. To activate the software, we issue a secure, client-specific license key, after which your team manages all ongoing operations independently. Our support team remains available for technical guidance, but the software runs entirely on your infrastructure, eliminating external dependencies.
A cornerstone of our software is its ability to streamline pricing updates. Leveraging Bluetooth LE 5.0 (integrated across all MRB ESL hardware, from 1.54-inch electronic shelf edge label to 13.3-inch digital price tag), the software syncs with our HA169 BLE Access Points to push pricing changes in seconds - not hours or days. This real-time capability transforms strategic pricing: whether you’re rolling out Black Friday promotions (like our limited-time 60% off offers), adjusting perishable goods prices (e.g., broccoli specials), or updating multi-location pricing, changes reflect on electronic shelf labels instantly. No more manual label printing, no risk of pricing discrepancies, and no disruption to in-store operations.
Data Confidentiality: Local Hosting + End-to-End Encryption
We understand that retail data—from pricing strategies to inventory levels—is sensitive. That’s why our software is built for local hosting: all your data (pricing logs, product details, user access records) is stored exclusively on your servers, never on MRB’s infrastructure. This eliminates the risk of data breaches associated with cloud storage and ensures compliance with strict data privacy regulations.
To further protect data in transit, every communication between the software, ESL digital pricing label, and AP access points is encrypted with 128-bit AES—the same standard used by financial institutions. Whether you’re updating a single label or syncing thousands across multiple stores, your data remains secure from interception. The HA169 Access Point adds another layer of security with built-in encryption protocols, while features like log alerts notify your team of unusual activity, ensuring full visibility into system usage.
MRB ESL Software: Beyond Functionality—Retail-Focused Advantages
Our software doesn’t just manage labels—it enhances your entire retail operation, paired with MRB’s industry-leading hardware:
* 5-Year Battery Life for Hardware: All MRB ESL labels (e.g., HSM213 2.13-inch electronic shelf labeling system, HAM266 2.66-inch E-paper retail shelf edge labels) feature long-lasting batteries, meaning the software’s efficiency isn’t undermined by frequent hardware maintenance. You won’t waste resources replacing batteries or taking labels offline—critical for high-traffic stores.
* Multicolor, Sun-Visible Displays: The software supports our 4-color (white-black-red-yellow) dot-matrix EPD screens, letting you highlight promotions (e.g., “30% OFF Leather Sample Bags”) or product details with eye-catching visuals. Unlike traditional paper labels, these E-paper displays are visible even in direct sunlight, ensuring customers never miss key information.
* Scalability Without Limits: The HA169 Access Point (Base Station) supports unlimited ESL digital price labels within its detection radius (up to 23 meters indoors, 100 meters outdoors) and includes features like ESL roaming and load balancing. This means the software grows with your business—add new labels, expand to new store sections, or open new locations without overhauling the system.
* Cross-Hardware Compatibility: The software integrates seamlessly with all MRB ESL electronic pricing tag products. This versatility lets you unify technology across departments, reducing training costs and simplifying management.
