Fujitsu offers retailers flexible POS system

September 19, 2011

Fujitsu today announced the TP-X II 500 Series point-of-sale (POS) controller family designed for retailers that require powerful performance, flexibility and connectivity in a more environmentally sustainable retailing platform. According to a company press release, the system can be deployed in multiple roles ranging from a POS or kiosk to a service desk.

Featuring independent dual screens, the highly configurable TP-X II 500 Series is available in a standard form factor for typical retailing environments and a compact "Coupe chassis" that offers a 40 percent reduction in volume where space is at a premium.

"We developed the TP-X II 500 Series to provide retailers with resilient, flexible POS systems that allow them to respond to consumers who want a more helpful and interactive in-store experience," said Bruce Donis, vice president of U.S. Retail Sales at Fujitsu America. "Our latest POS release offers higher performance, greater reliability, and two form factors, including the extremely compact Coupe to fit any store environment.

The highly configurable third release of the TP-X POS solution incorporates 2nd generation Intel Core i3, i5 and Pentium processors, delivering the power of a desktop computer in two mobile laptop form factors that let retailers create customer touch points in the most diverse and challenging environments. The retail-hardened TP-X II 500 Series controllers run cooler and consume less power, increasing reliability while reducing costs. Configurable with up to 14 powered USB ports, the TP-X II eliminates the need for power bricks, further increasing reliability while providing the connectivity retailers need to meet the evolving demands of today's shoppers, according to the press release.
