Hanshow unveiled NexShelf at NRF 2026, introducing a next-generation intelligent shelf designed to turn the retail shelf into a real-time data engine and form the foundation of its Store Digital Twin vision. Addressing one of retail’s least digitized yet most critical areas, NexShelf combines centimeter-level product location intelligence, AI-driven analytics, and open, hybrid connectivity to deliver over 95% accurate visibility into shelf conditions. Powered by Nebular Ultra ESLs and N5 AI cameras, this solution helps retailers. It spots misplaced or missing items, checks planogram compliance, and finds out-of-shelf situations-all without manual checks.

Its dual-mode communication design allows for scalability and low power use. It also integrates easily with third-party systems, which lowers the total cost of ownership. NexShelf turns shelf data into useful insights. It also provides real-time 3D views. This helps retailers improve execution, cut lost sales, and optimize pricing and promotions. “NexShelf is not just an intelligent shelf solution, it is the data foundation of the Store Digital Twin,” said Shiguo Hou, CEO of Hanshow. “By making shelf conditions visible, measurable, and actionable, we are helping retailers and brands move from assumptions to facts, and from reactive operations to proactive decision-making.”
