INSIDE THE PARTNERSHIP
By partnering with Exeger, VusionGroup is pioneering sustainable retail innovation by integrating advanced solar technology. This collaboration enables the development of self-powered, ultra-efficient digital shelves, electronic shelf labels (ESLs) and other IoT devices, transforming retail operations with smarter, more sustainable solutions
“We believe in the potential of combining Exeger´s indoor light-charging technology and SES-imagotag´s electronic labels and IoT devices to help reduce the need for batteries, which would be a major environmental breakthrough.”
Andreas Rössl, CTO of VusionGroup
Retailers face increasing pressure to adopt sustainable and efficient solutions while maintaining seamless operations. Traditional battery-powered ESLs and IoT devices require frequent replacements, leading to high costs, logistical challenges, and environmental concerns. Exeger’s Powerfoyle technology offers a groundbreaking alternative by harnessing ambient light to power retail devices indefinitely.
By integrating Exeger’s Powerfoyle technology, VusionGroup’s connected technologies can use indoor lighting as a natural energy source, eliminating the need for disposable batteries. This game-changing advancement reduces waste and maintenance while ensuring uninterrupted functionality in retail environments.

POWERFOYLE FOR SMART RETAIL
The introduction of ESLs over 30 years ago laid the foundation for numerous benefits for retailers. By automating routine tasks and improving price accuracy, ESLs allow retailers to reallocate resources to value-added activities that drive productivity and profitability.
However, as digital retail advances, so does its energy demand. Today’s smart devices for retail, such as ESLs, sensors and smart displays, are limited by battery life and require frequent maintenance. These constraints slow innovation and add operational costs.
Powerfoyle’s light-harvesting technology offers a breakthrough solution, converting in-store lighting into a continuous energy source.
High performance in indoor light
Unaffected by partial shading
Environmentally-conscious
Durable
Surface textures
Flexible
This innovation enables retailers to fully unlock smart store potential, while also preparing for future advancements that demand higher power. By eliminating battery replacements, Powerfoyle lowers total cost of ownership and reduces labor, waste, and resource use—making retail smarter, more efficient, and truly sustainable.
