Available in 13in and 25in sizes, the full colour displays provide a digital alternative to paper posters for applications involving regularly updated static content, such as POS promotions, menu boards, allergen information in retail and hospitality environments or timetables and check-in information. Sharp/NEC ePaper displays operate with zero power consumption when displaying content, only needing minimal power when updating it. They provide a very paper-like reading experience, with no reflections or blue light. www.sharpnecdisplays.eu Looks like paper WHAT’S NEW INNOVATIONS Recycled plastic for all Logitech is building on existing sustainability initiatives with a commitment to incorporate postconsumer recycled plastics and next life materials in the entirety of its video conferencing portfolio. This includes new conference room products, like the Logitech Sight, made with a minimum of 50% recycled plastic, and existing products like the Rally Bar, Rally Bar Mini, Tap IP and Tap Scheduler and Scribe. All are now being redesigned to include recycled materials, with no change in price or quality. Logitech already uses recycled material in its personal workstation peripherals including webcams, mice, headsets and keyboards. Logitech reduced its Scope 3 emissions by 21% in 2022 and aims to remove more carbon than it creates by 2030. www.logitech.com 5G first from Zebra Zebra Technologies is meeting customer demand for efficiency, productivity and more reliable and secure connections with the launch of the first MC9000 ultrarugged mobile computer to feature public and private 5G (data only) and Wi-Fi 6E connectivity – the fastest connection speeds available today.
