Our technology stack is built on the principles of industrial reliability and cloud-native scalability.
By integrating low-power display technology with robust wireless communication, ZKONG provides a future-proof foundation for digital transformation in retail, logistics, and beyond.
Our electronic shelf labels utilize advanced bistable E Ink technology.
These displays only consume power when the image changes, allowing for multi-year battery life while providing 180° viewing angles and crisp readability under any lighting conditions.
High-contrast visual performance comparable to printed paper.
Zero-power consumption for static images.
Support for 3-color (Black, White, Red) and 4-color(Black, White, Red, Yellow) systems.
The ZKONG IoT ecosystem ensures that every label on your shelf is synchronized with your central database in real-time. Our proprietary communication protocols are designed for maximum density and minimum interference.

Our 3-layer architecture provides a solid bridge between business logic and physical displays. Built for global enterprises, it handles millions of updates with sub-second latency.
Seamlessly integrates with your existing ERP, POS, or inventory management systems via robust APIs.
Centralized control for thousands of stores. Monitor device health, update schedules, and store templates in one place.
Optimized data packets sent to ESLs and Digital Signage ensure minimal battery drain and maximum reliability.
Security is woven into the fabric of ZKONG technology. From end-to-end encryption to multi-level permission management, we protect your pricing and promotional data across every node in the network.
All communications between the cloud, basestations, and displays are encrypted using industry-standard protocols to prevent tampering.
Granular role-based access control (RBAC) ensures only authorized personnel can initiate price changes or modify layouts.
Every ESL and base station has a unique hardware identity, preventing unauthorized devices from joining the store network.
Unlock the power of "Scan to Shop". Our ESLs are equipped with high-sensitivity NFC chips, enabling instant interaction between customers' smartphones and the digital shelf.
Tap to view nutritional info, reviews, or add items to a digital cart.
Bind new labels or check inventory status instantly with a PDA tap.
Deliver targeted coupons and loyalty rewards directly to the shopper's device.
Our flagship ESL line, featuring multi-color E Ink displays and ultra-thin profiles. Perfect for supermarkets, pharmacies, and hardware stores.
ZKONG digital signage extends the smart display ecosystem with full-color LCD screens, Wi-Fi connectivity and cloud-based multimedia content management.
Smart shelf technology is a connected infrastructure that combines digital displays, wireless communication, cloud software and enterprise data systems. It allows information and content to be remotely transmitted to electronic shelf labels and digital signage.
E Ink provides a low-power, highly readable display technology for electronic shelf labels. Content remains visible without continuous power, making electronic paper suitable for devices that require long operating periods.
Electronic shelf labels communicate with wireless base stations through low-power wireless networks. The base stations connect with the cloud platform, allowing product data, templates and update instructions to be sent to the labels.
Yes. Electronic shelf labels and digital signage can be centrally managed through the ZKONG Cloud Platform while continuing to use different display and communication technologies.
The platform can connect with ERP, POS, PIM, inventory, pricing and content management systems through APIs, SDKs and customized integration.
NFC allows compatible terminals or mobile devices to identify ESLs, bind labels with products and perform short-range device interaction. Authentication mechanisms can also help protect the communication process.
Smart shelf data can be protected through encrypted communication, cloud data protection, access permissions, authenticated device interaction, monitoring alerts and operation logs.
Electronic shelf labels use low-power E Ink displays for continuously visible product and shelf information. Digital signage uses full-color LCD displays for images, video and dynamic multimedia content. The two technologies can operate together through the same cloud infrastructure.
