Panasonic launches POS workstation

March 21, 2012

Panasonic has focused on flexibility and operational capability with the design of its new POS workstation, Stingray Envo, according to a company press release.

It builds on the popularity of the Panasonic Stingray POS terminal while incorporating new and enhanced features that allow the user to customize the workstation to meet specific needs as well as mount the workstation where and how it is best suited to the location needs, Rick Elliott, director of food services, Panasonic System Communications Company of North America, said in the release.

"Panasonic continues to push the boundaries of form and function of POS hardware solutions," he said.

Envo's smaller footprint allows easy installation of a workstation with no additional parts required under the counter, freeing up valuable storage space. The adjustable 15-inch LCD display can be pole- or wall-mounted in addition to the standard workstation configuration. Users can also configure the Envo with a 12-inch or 15-inch customer-facing display and order it with capacitive or resistive touchscreens or card and biometric readers.

Envo is Wi-Fi-enabled for additional installation flexibility and runs on virtually any operating system or software, so users can choose the best software to suit their business needs, Elliott said. Two powered USB ports enable a printer or other equipment to run off the workstation, and digital signage or kitchen video can also be powered from Envo. Additionally, it supports two hard drives with RAID (Redundant Array Of Independent Disks) capability, allowing changes to hardware or software upgrades to be easily and cost-efficiently implemented in the field, Elliott said.

Envo features a durable aluminum alloy chassis, a quiet fan and state-of-the-art technology from Intel, including its AMT (Advanced Management Technology) and vPro Technology for improved remote manageability, software flexibility and security.
