Converge Retail, which provides an interactive, tablet-based retail display system, is incorporating the latest RFID technology to bring even greater display flexibility to the Converge platform, according to a press release. The company will unveil its latest kinetic retail display platform at the National Retail Federation show next week at the Javits Convention Center in New York City.
Earlier iterations of the Converge platform relied on camera-based recognition for the tablet to accurately display information about the products on display. While this technique was accurate, the company said that moving to an RFID-based system brings the following improvements to the Converge platform:
The platform features laterally-sliding, interactive tablets that move with the customers through their shopping journey and automatically serve content with product education, specs, tutorials and reviews to assist the purchase decision. This ability to deeply research and compare products available in-store and online keeps customers in the retailer's ecosystem, whether the customer purchases a product off the shelf or makes an in-aisle purchase from the retailer's online inventory, the company said.
The Converge system, which until now has largely been a rail-based retail display whereby laterally sliding tablets display information about products in close proximity to the tablets, is also expanding into new use cases.
