Abstract: An electronic labeling system and method for uniquely identifying and labeling products. A dedicated memory device and an associated display device are attached to and associated with one or more of a group of products. Customer-specific data is downloaded to the memory device using a non-contact data transmission link and stored in the memory device. The stored data is then transmitted to the display device, which is, e.g., a highly flexible, thin device, such as e-paper, where the customer-specific data, such as customer name and address, assembly instructions related to the product, operating instructions related to the product, and/or any other data deemed useful with respect to the product, is displayed. The data displayed on the label/display can be updated as often as desired to ensure up-to-date information is being provided.
