Ask An Expert | 5 Ways Stores Will Get 'Smarter' In 2021 With Ross Sabolcik, VP Silicon Labs

In the latest episode of Omni Talk’s new Ask An Expert Interview Series for 2021, Chris Walton interviews Ross Sabolcik, VP & GM Industrial & Commercial IoT Products at Silicon Labs.

The episode marks what is the first interview in a multi-episode arc, in which Chris and Silicon Labs will delve deep into the smart retail technologies that will change physical retail experiences the most in 2021.

Chris and Ross begin their discussion high level and then discuss five key areas on which their upcoming collaboration will concentrate:

– Asset tracking
- Electronic shelf labels (one of Chris's favorite tech picks for the year)
- Edge security
- Loss prevention tag innovation as a key to unlocking new apparel shopping experiences
- And, overall interoperability design

The interview is a springboard for much more to come, as Chris does what he does best with Ross -- i.e. speak the language and ask the questions on the minds of retail executives, from the perspective of a real retailer, to understand what matters most and to set the table for Omni Talk's fans this coming year.
