Looks like the US is like 10 years behind the Europe.
But if I understand correctly those electronic shelf labels will be remote controlled. IoT?
Several years ago, I contracted for a short time as a software engineer for a team within Walmart that was working on an in-house digital label solution. It was pretty cool as it was all custom hardware running Android. I think the project probably could've been run better, though. I'd guess that's part of the reason they have taken so long to deploy some type of digital label solution, and ultimately went with a third party product.
