Pacific Northern Bets on Wireless Power to Revolutionize Retail Merchandising
New partnership creates dynamic retail displays without hardwiring or battery maintenance.
Pacific Northern (pacificnorthern.com), a leader in custom retail fixtures and visual merchandising solutions, entered an exclusive partnership with Etherdyne Technologies, a pioneer in wireless power innovation. Under this agreement, Etherdyne’s cutting-edge wire-free power solutions will be integrated into all of Pacific Northern’s manufacturing capabilities, marking a significant leap forward in the future of retail design and functionality.
UPDATE: The first fully integrated wireless power-enabled displays have already begun rolling out to dozens of high-end retail locations.
The Problem
In-store merchandising is often held back by a costly, overlooked challenge: powering lights, motion, and interactive displays. Hardwired solutions are expensive and difficult to reconfigure, making frequent merchandising resets a headache. Battery-powered alternatives are unreliable, requiring constant upkeep and manual charging by busy store staff.
This new partnership aims to solve that problem.
The Solution
By embedding Etherdyne’s patented wireless energy transmission technology, Pacific Northern will empower retailers to create smarter, more dynamic environments without the constraints of traditional wiring or visible power sources.
“We’re redefining the boundaries of retail design. This partnership with ETI allows us to offer our clients unprecedented creative freedom while enhancing customer interactivity through seamless, safe, and scalable wireless power systems.”
Etherdyne Technologies brings to the table a portfolio of patented, innovations designed to deliver power safely across distances and through materials. Its systems are built for high reliability and energy efficiency, enabling everything from illuminated signage to interactive displays—all powered invisibly and effortlessly.
“Our goal has always been to make power accessible anywhere without physical limitations,” said Jeff Yen, CEO of Etherdyne Technologies. “Working with Pacific Northern brings this vision into one of the most dynamic and creative industries—retail. We’re excited to see our technology come to life in environments millions of people visit every day.”
This exclusive agreement signals a new era for retail fixture design, opening doors for forward-thinking brands looking to blend aesthetics with smart functionality.
