Electronic Shelf Label

Prodigy 10 points
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC110L, CC2510

Hallo TI community,

I am searching for detailed information about the "electronic shelf label" (ESL). I found a block diagramm on TI's homepage which suggests some devices that can be used. Moreover, I would like to know if anyone has further experiences or knowledge about the ESL, such as:

1) What kind of display can be recommended? Size of display? Which information can be displayed?

2) Communication between access point and ESL (Is it possible to trigger an order by pushing a button etc.? What kind data is transferred between devices?)

3) Any experiences with connecting ESL to existing inventory software?

4) Which types of batteries are used? Life time? Any experiences with energy harvesting devices and ESL?

5) How many ESL can be used in parallel? How many access points are needed? Operating range between devices?

6) Are there any reference applications? (inventory management? c-parts management?)

7) ...

It will be great if somebody likes to discuss the presented questions!

Thanks in advance!

Best regards,

Bernd Gerding

    Hi,

    There are no specific reference designs / applications for ESLs with CC11xx or CC2510. Your questions are mainly oriented towards the system design of the complete ESL and communicating base station. By testing on the development kits then it will be possible to determine your requirements. The CC1110 or CC110L + MSP430 or CC2510 can be programmed with a low data rate (1.2kbaud) or a higher data rate (500kbaud); data rate chosen will be dependent on your software architecture. Similiary, the output power can be 0dBm or 10dBm on the CC1110. The life time will be dependent on your average current consumption and also the type of batteries used.

    The range will be mainly dependent on the data rate chosen, output power, operating frequency and efficiency of the antenna.

    Look at the CC1110 (http://www.ti.com/tool/cc1110-cc1111dk) and CC2510 (http://www.ti.com/tool/cc2510-cc2511dk) dev kit as a starting point to determine your system requirements.  

    Regards,

    Dear Richards,

    We have been trying develop a ESL in Smallest size possible which cane be synchronized wirelessly.

    We can see the complete kit is available at http://www.pervasivedisplays.com/kits/adaptag

    And this exact what we require in 1.44".

    Could you please guide us how we can get these development kits developed into a small design and in mass productions.

    Who can help us design small boards and make them in good quantity.

    We can also work with component manufacturers who can provide these components and we can assemble them

    and even develop our own softwares for them.

    Your guidance will be very valuable or anyone who can assist us in designing and manufaturing

    regards

    Shafeeq

    Hi Shafeeq,

    If you can contact the manufacturer of the kits directly will be the best option. We can assist with the design review (schematic and layout).

    You need to determine which chipset / operating frequency to use first.

    For sub 1 GHz recommend: CC1110 or CC110L + MSP430 and for 2.4 GHz would use CC2510

    Regards,

       Richard.
