SOLUM Digital Labels Timeline: Past to Present

SOLUM’s first generation ESL was the 7-segment label. It has better readability than LCD-based ESLs and has a freezer variant for deployment in cold sections of stores.

SOLUM introduced the second generation of its ESL called M2—the first e-paper label in the market that can display graphics and text in three colors (black, white, and red). 

The following year, SOLUM made an M2 variant that can display black, white, and yellow. It also has additional features like NFC and front interactive buttons.

After 5 years, SOLUM launched a much upgraded ESL called Newton, which has 10-year battery life, faster update speed, programmable buttons, multi-page feature, 7-color LED, and IP67 durability aside from the NFC that M2 has. 

To provide consumers with more immersive experience, SOLUM created Newton TOUCH, a digital label with touchscreen features that can play interactive GIFs and videos. 

Newton LITE is a lighter and slimmer version of Newton, but just as fast as Newton. It is built with a customizable bezel and is designed to be easy-to-use for first-time ESL users.

Newton Sub-Giga was invented with warehouse and manufacturing facilities in mind. It has high-speed data transmission and low-interference connection for large-scale automation.

In 2022, SOLUM makes a break out of the 3-color combination limit by introducing a Newton ESL that can display 4 colors (black, white, red, and yellow) and 7 colors (black, white, red, yellow, green, blue, and orange).
