New-generation ESL harvests ambient indoor light to support more responsive shelf-edge operations, reducing daily energy consumption by up to 46% under a representative retail operating scenario. 

PARIS, Sept. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Hanshow today unveiled Nebular Lux, its new-generation electronic shelf label (ESL), at NRF 2026: Retail’s Big Show Europe. Built on a hybrid energy architecture, Nebular Lux harvests ambient indoor light to supplement battery power, bringing together greater operational responsiveness and lower battery-related carbon impact at the shelf edge.

Under a representative retail operating scenario, Nebular Lux reduces daily energy consumption by approximately 46% compared with conventional ESL deployments. Across a deployment of one million labels, the solution can help avoid approximately 202 metric tons of CO₂ emissions associated with battery production and replacement activities over a 10-year operating period. Together, these efficiencies demonstrate how a more energy-efficient shelf-edge architecture can support both long-term operational performance and sustainability at scale.

As retailers deploy millions of electronic shelf labels, the shelf edge is becoming an increasingly important part of day-to-day store operations. At the same time, retailers need to support more frequent and responsive shelf-edge services without compromising the long operational life required at scale. Balancing responsiveness, longevity and sustainability is therefore becoming an increasingly important consideration as digital shelf infrastructure evolves.

Nebular Lux is designed to address this challenge through a hybrid energy architecture that combines ambient indoor light harvesting, ultra-low-power electronics, and Hanshow’s fifth-generation communication protocol HiLPC, reflecting system-level engineering across energy management, communications, positioning and retail-scale product integration.

This expanded energy budget supports more frequent positioning and longer-duration LED signalling, helping retailers scale high-frequency use cases such as picking, replenishment, product finding and location-based services without compromising standard product longevity. For retailers, this can translate into better product availability, greater operational efficiency and more responsive store execution. At the same time, lower battery consumption and fewer replacement requirements can help reduce lifecycle operating costs, improve total cost of ownership and strengthen the return on ESL infrastructure investments.

“The next generation of shelf infrastructure needs to do more than remain connected — it needs to become more responsive while also using energy more intelligently,” said Philippe Brochard, Chairman of the Advisory Board at Hanshow. “Nebular Lux brings these two priorities together, helping retailers create a faster connection between insight and action while supporting a more sustainable foundation for Store Digital Twin at scale.”  Nebular Lux demonstrates how the evolution of digital shelf infrastructure can support both more responsive store operations and longer-term sustainability goals.

At NRF 2026: Retail’s Big Show Europe, Hanshow is demonstrating how Nebular Lux integrates with its broader Store Digital Twin portfolio at Hall 6, Booth E-020. Hanshow’s intelligent robotics solution NexMate is also making its European debut at the event, further expanding Store Digital Twin with intelligent sensing and execution capabilities.

The company introduces an Agentic Experience Optimization Platform built to understand, decide, act, and prove across every digital touchpoint, with Wingz as its AI engine

PARIS, DELHI, India and NEW YORK, Sept. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Following the merger announced earlier this year, VWO and AB Tasty today unveiled Wingify as the unified global brand for the combined business. The move also marks the unveiling of a combined platform under a single category, Agentic Experience Optimization Platform, and a single promise: Make every digital experience relevant.

One Name, One Flight Path

VWO and AB Tasty each spent more than 15 years building their businesses independently before merging. Together, the company now represents more than $100 million in revenue, 4,000+ customers worldwide, and a team of 700+ people across 11 offices in North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Latin America.

“Bringing VWO and AB Tasty together was never just about combining two platforms,” said Sparsh Gupta, CEO of Wingify. “It’s about giving our customers a clearer path forward with a strong data foundation that helps you act. AI is not another layer we’ve added to the platform; it is the platform’s operating logic, as it sees what is happening, decides what to do next, and acts while the visitor is still on the page. Every one of those decisions is measured, so relevance is something we can prove rather than promise.”

AI is changing what is possible. The new brand and platform are grounded in two ideas: clarity and curiosity. Together with AI, they create a new approach to optimization, connecting every touchpoint across the suite and turning insight into smarter action.

Introducing the Agentic Experience Optimization Platform

Wingify is now a new Agentic Experience Optimization Platform: where experimentation, personalization, behavioral insights, commerce optimization, feature management, and customer engagement run on one data foundation, one workflow, and one AI. The customer decides in moments, and Wingify closes that gap by understanding, deciding, and acting while the visit is still happening, and then proving whether it worked.

The foundation powers the Relevance Loop:

Understand. Reads behavioral, journey, affinity, intent, contextual, and emotional signals — including from anonymous visitors.

Decide. AI connects that understanding and determines the next best move: the right experience, design, feature, message, or recommendation for each person.

Act. Turns decisions into live experiences the moment they matter, using the same data and intelligence across the same connected suite.

Measure & Learn. Experimentation and analytics measure every action against business outcomes, turning results into new learning that makes every next decision sharper.

“Disconnected tools quietly cost teams time,” said Alix de Sagazan, CRO of Wingify. “An insight from one tool has to be manually rebuilt somewhere else, and every handoff invites delay and errors. Wingify closes those gaps, so insight turns into an action and action turns into a better experience.”

Wingz: AI Woven Through Every Stage

Wingz, Wingify’s embedded AI, runs across the Relevance Loop, using live behavioral data to understand visitors, recommend and activate changes, and measure their impact.

“Most AI in marketing software is an assistant sitting on top of a product. It can tell you things, but it cannot do much, and it certainly cannot tell you whether it was right. We built this the other way round. It runs inside the loop, so it sees the signal, makes the call, ships the change, and then measures it. That last part is the hard part, and it is why we spent 15 years building the experimentation layer underneath it,” said Ankit Jain, Co-founder and Chief Product & Technology Officer at Wingify.

What This Means for Customers

Existing VWO and AB Tasty customers can expect a platform that lets them see and act on the bigger picture, with a client base that includes L’Oréal, LVMH, Decathlon, Puma, Forbes, Motorola, AXA, De Beers, and more.”Our customers built real momentum with VWO and AB Tasty long before this merger,” said Rémi Aubert, Co-founder and Chief Customer & Strategy officer at Wingify. “This isn’t about starting over. It’s about giving that momentum wings: a clearer runway, a sharper set of tools, and a platform built to make every single interaction more relevant than the last”
