In the fast-evolving retail landscape, security and reliability are paramount. Retailers need solutions that not only enhance efficiency but also ensure robust protection for their operations. ZKONG’s Electronic Shelf Labels (ESLs) deliver on these demands with industry-leading security features. From secure data encryption to physical durability, ZKONG is setting new benchmarks in retail technology. Let’s explore how ZKONG’s ESLs stand out by offering unparalleled security across software, hardware, and communication dimensions.

Independent Key Protection: Securing Your Data at the Core

Each ZKONG ESL comes equipped with a unique encryption key to ensure data remains secure during transmission and updates. This key acts as a digital shield, safeguarding wireless communication from unauthorized access or tampering. By allowing customers to directly import the key into their systems, ZKONG prevents internal decryption and minimizes risks of data breaches. This feature is especially vital in high-stakes retail environments where real-time accuracy and data security are critical.

AES-128 Cloud Encryption: Protecting Information End-to-End

ZKONG’s cloud platform encryption employs the AES-128 standard, a globally recognized protocol for secure data transmission and storage. By encrypting data at every step, ZKONG ensures that sensitive information remains protected from leaks or unauthorized access. This level of security gives retailers peace of mind, allowing them to focus on optimizing store operations.

Anti-Theft Location Tracking: Keeping Tags in Place

One of ZKONG ESL’s standout features is its anti-theft location tracking. Through Bluetooth communication with base stations, ESLs provide precise location information that is reported to the cloud platform. If a tag is moved outside its designated area, an alarm or flashing light is triggered immediately. This capability enables real-time detection of abnormal activity, assisting retailers in monitoring critical areas such as warehouses, retail stores, and hospitals, where inventory security is paramount.

High Protection Structure: Built for Durability

ZKONG ESLs are designed to thrive in demanding environments. With an IP67 waterproof and dustproof rating, these devices operate seamlessly in harsh conditions, making them ideal for outdoor markets or environments with high humidity. Additionally, their impact-resistant shell protects against damage from drops or collisions, ensuring longevity and reliability.

Anti-Disassembly Design: Preventing Unauthorized Access

Security extends beyond the digital realm. ZKONG ESLs feature a tamper-proof design that requires specialized tools for disassembly. This mechanism prevents unauthorized access or physical tampering, safeguarding the integrity of the system.

Dual Wireless Transmission Security: Encrypted and Verified

ZKONG’s Bluetooth 5.1 protocol, developed in-house, supports encrypted custom deployment for wireless communication security. Meanwhile, NFC interaction employs a bidirectional authentication process to ensure secure, end-to-end data transmission. This dual-layer protection prevents data leaks and reinforces ZKONG’s commitment to secure connectivity.

Temperature Resistance: Performance in Extreme Conditions

ZKONG ESLs are designed to perform across a wide temperature range. The SF low-temperature series (ZK21SF and ZK26SF) functions flawlessly at temperatures as low as -25°C, making them ideal for cold storage facilities, freezers, and other temperature-sensitive environments.

Conclusion

ZKONG’s Electronic Shelf Labels are more than just a retail tool—they are a comprehensive security solution. By combining cutting-edge encryption, durable hardware, and advanced wireless communication, ZKONG ensures that retailers can operate securely and efficiently in any environment.

Whether it’s safeguarding data, preventing theft, or thriving in harsh conditions, ZKONG ESLs redefine what it means to protect and optimize retail operations.
