ESL Web Server Software

Manage your ESLs from any smart device

The new ESL Web Server software runs on Windows, Linux and pre-installed on the EBS-50 base station. With a completely overhauled user interface, any smart device connected on the same network as the ESL Web Server software (even through a VPN) can use its browser to reach the ESL Web Server interface and manage the labels. No mouse, keyboard or monitor is required.

Always in control of your data

Through a variety of setup options, you are in complete control of your data, because your data is yours.

• Fully external; all product information, links and logs can be stored on your own database server
• Fully internal; all this information can be stored by the ESL Web Server software (in a local SQL database or an SQLite data file)
• Hybrid; keep your product data stored on your own external database. The ESL Web Server software will store the locally required data (links, logs) on a local SQL database or SQLite data file

Check the system status in a glance

The most important information is combined into the landing page; the dashboard. All you need to know about your ESLs (links, image, communication, and battery statuses), Base Stations (connection status) and Database (connection status, next sync) is visible in one overview. The dashboard helps you spot an issue before it becomes a problem.

Fully featured REST API

What if you want to connect to the software without a human user, but a computer instead? Then you need an API, application programming interface. You can manage your ESL Web Server through a REST API, with access secured by API keys. It is easy to integrate functions like product editing, ESL linking and retrieving the status of ESLs into your own application.

Opticon ESL Cloud Dashboard

What if I have more stores? Do I need to log into all the ESL Web Servers separately to generate a status overview?

You don’t have to! Data from all ESL Web Servers in your stores can be sent to one overview: the ESL Cloud Dashboard.

You can see the statuses of all your stores on a centralized overview page. Simply instruct your ESL Web Server to send its local system status (as seen on the dashboard landing page) to the ESL Cloud Dashboard.

Critical access to your ESLs and database is safe and password protected on the ESL Web Server software, but you can spot issues before they become a problem without having to log in to every ESL Web Server you own.

The Opticon ESL Cloud Dashboard is the single point of entry that shows you all the statuses that are important for your ESL system.
