Opticon SE-1160R — Digital Spec Cards for Electronics and Showroom Retail

Nobody buys a washing machine or a pair of noise-cancelling headphones off a price ticket. They buy off the spec card — and the spec card is the asset that’s always wrong, because updating it means designing, printing, cutting and walking the floor. The SE-1160R makes it a data record instead: 960 x 640 pixels across a 244.5 x 163 mm face, driven centrally.

The full specification, at the bay

At roughly A5 with 100 dpi resolution, there’s room for what a considered purchase actually needs: product image, a real feature list rather than three bullets, key performance figures, warranty terms, what’s in the box, price, and a QR code to reviews and full detail online. Templates are entirely customisable, so the card follows your category’s conventions — and every card in a bay follows the same one, which is what makes comparison possible.

Model-year changes stop being a project

Electronics ranges refresh constantly, and every refresh strands a set of printed cards. Pushing from the Opticon ESL Web Server Software updates a model’s card across every store simultaneously — new firmware feature, revised price, changed bundle, updated energy figure. The saving isn’t only printing. It’s the weeks where the floor shows last year’s specification because reprinting hadn’t reached the bottom of someone’s list.

Red where it changes behaviour

The SE-1160R displays black, white and red. There’s no yellow on this model, so the highlight colour is singular — which for a spec card is arguably right. Red carries the price, the saving, or the promotional flash; everything else stays in a clean black-on-white hierarchy that reads as specification rather than as shouting. At this size, layout and typography carry the structure, and there’s enough room to do that properly.

Locate, scan, tap

An RGB locator LED with adjustable brightness can light a bay during a promotion or guide a colleague to a specific model. The display supports scannable 1D and 2D barcodes, and optional NFC allows a tap-to-read interaction for shoppers with a phone or staff with a handheld — useful for pulling stock availability or triggering a demo.
