Abstract

In this work a low-cost electronic Tag (e-Tag), using an electronic ink (e-Ink) display for use in food retail is presented. Each e-Tag has a black and white 2.9″ display with 296x128 pixels and can communicate using LoRa to a central database than can configure it remotely. Measured consumption of the battery-operated e-Tag show it can function for more than five years, while syncing with the central database in an hourly basis. A range of more than 250 meters indoors was measured between nodes and using a simple gateway more than 8km range was achieved. The e-Tag can be used in transportation, logistics and storage of raw food, to control stock, shelf life and maintain the first in first out requirements. It can also be used for dynamic pricing in a store, to reduce spoilage. The e-Tag is versatile and can be easily adapted, with a temperature sensor for example, to help implement a temperature-controlled supply chain or other applications.
