SOLUM’s solution addresses this shift by enabling real-time measurement of advertising effectiveness and customer engagement in physical stores, providing metrics previously only available in digital commerce.

”Our solution turns retail spaces into dynamic advertising platforms, enhancing the customer experience with personalization,” said Jeon. “Connecting digital signage with ESL enables stores to create more engaging customer experiences while developing new revenue opportunities.” said Jeon. “Connecting digital signage with ESL enables stores to create more engaging customer experiences while developing new revenue opportunities.”

Early adopters of SOLUM’s retail solution have reported remarkable results. A major convenience store chain reported a 7% increase in purchase conversion rates after implementing the synchronized digital signage and ESL system. The solution not only improved operational efficiency by eliminating manual price updates but also created new revenue streams through targeted advertising capabilities.

The discussions include interviews with founders, managing directors, CEOs, business development managers and team leaders, all of whom face unique challenges, but still unite under a common drive towards more sustainable operations – not just for them, but for their customers, too.

“Digital technologies, by their very nature, are highly adaptable and create firm, yet scalable foundations from which all elements of a business can flourish and grow,” said Gustavo Zecharies, president, Europe, Middle East and Africa, Rockwell Automation. “The diverse range of attendees at Automation Fair highlighted how every facet of the global manufacturing universe sees digitalization as the future, and these ROKStudios interviews showcase how industry leaders and visionaries have achieved their outcomes.”

He goes onto explain his company’s digital transformation mindset.

Finally, Marti Cortada, U.S. business development manager for Adasoft, a company that specializes in factory management and industry 4.0, explains what best-in-class pharmaceutical operations look like and how his company’s mantra “because people empower factories” makes a real impact.
