Dynamic price generation and distribution system using ECA rules and ink labeling

New forms of commerce require novel methods of management. Dynamic pricing is a new way to get a increase in the buyers interest and improve their customer experience. As it is a complex procedure to take into account elaborate algorithms to generate and distribute new prices to products, in this paper, a system for autonomous price management and distribution is presented. The use of ECA rules eases the administration procedure to manage a complex dynamic price system. Configure a global price system can be done in a visual manner using a ECA representation tool. The developed software allows to predefine the aspect of the price label and send updated information to a selected e-ink display. The global system uses a novel distribution infrastructure to provide information to several displays, distributed along various nodes. The result has been built and tested in the group laboratory.
