AIR Series
In addition, all functions are available via a well-developed RESTful interface, allowing you to integrate any control/monitoring (e.g. data export from your ERP system) into your own software.
Data is imported via RESTful or CSV file (e.g. locally via file or via FTP/SCP). We support you here with extensive conversion options, including data logic. The number of possible fields is practically unlimited with the BL system.
The Windows software ESL Template Editor is available for easy design of your fixed or dynamic ESL content.

Management in the Web Browser
Local Installation
You can use the Gen2+ gateway (virtually plug & play) with integrated ESL Management System (EMS) as the central control unit for your entire installation. It handles the Zigbee wireless connection to the ESLs and can be combined with Gen2 devices to flexibly extend wireless coverage. Two Gen2+ gateways can be interconnected to form a high-availability network that continues to operate automatically in the event of a failure. Alternatively, you can use Gen2 gateways with the software on Windows or Linux. In either case, you have access to the system via a web browser, and the ESL Smart Network (ESN) software allows you to centrally monitor multiple locations.
ZV /ZB Series
In addition to a multi-coloured signal LED in each ESL, this series is characterised by its cloud operation: You don't have to worry about data backup or installation, all you have to do is connect the appropriately set Z-gateway to the internet via PoE and your ESLs immediately start working via 2,4 GHz RF.The system can be controlled to a limited extent via RESTful interface.
Data can be imported via RESTful or via Excel file. Of course, we can also develop converters for you here. Over 60 fields are available for content.
You can design your fixed or dynamic ESL content in the Template Editor, which runs in the web browser and even offers a few data logic options.

Administration in the Management Area
Cloud Installation
You can set up one or more sites directly on the web and access them from anywhere in the world via web browser. Different user levels with different ranges are available for system monitoring and use. It is up to you whether you use one of our existing cloud servers or have your own server set up at your company headquarters.
Lokale Installation
If you decide instead to install locally on one of your servers at your site, you will be independent of external service providers.

You Always Have the Overview
The control software for both systems makes it easy to manage the ESLs and connected gateways. You can view battery levels, set device properties (e.g. transmission power and channels), assign layouts, etc. In the event of a problem (e.g. low battery level), you can set up automatic email notifications.
Complete Automation
After the systems are set up, every change in your own database (e.g. ERP software) also changes the content of your troniTAG ESL within a short time. Whether you are updating prices in the market, meeting room door signs with appointment lists, or signage of transport boxes in industrial production - with troniTAG ESL you will drive better and cheaper.
Work Efficiently
With troniTAG, the assignment of products to ESL devices is done conveniently and quickly on site with the help of PDA barcode scanners/ or with your smartphone. The complete RESTful interface allows you to control functions remotely and develop any automation.
Complex Interfaces
Whether you want to automatically display a differently designed ESL content with a strike price in the event of price promotions, or have your data examined and changed by more complex logic - troniTAG is at your disposal with many years of experience and a team of specialists to bring your wishes to the ESL. Automatic content changes at specific times can also be realised. Just ask us!
