U-Scan kiosks tread outside grocery stores
October 29, 2007
FRISCO, Texas — Fujitsu Transaction Solutions Inc. has announced that Canadian Tire will install Fujitsu's U-Scan Genesis self-checkout system at more than 100 of its 468 stores across Canada. Canadian Tire has been testing the U-Scan systems in a proof-of-concept since October 2006 that included both English- and French-language stores.
The company says it now expects to roll out the self-checkout systems in late 2007 or early 2008. This installation follows a 2005 Fujitsu rollout that replaced Canadian Tire's point-of-sale hardware with Fujitsu's TeamPoS 2000 M units.
U-Scan Genesis is the latest version of Fujitsu's U-Scan self-checkout family. Unveiled in January 2007, the enhanced system offers retailers more flexibility, scalability and reliability, Fujitsu says in a news release. It features a compact footprint, and is available in 1-, 2- and 4-bag modular configurations.
Fujitsu said the system is expected to rapidly expand into markets beyond the traditional grocery sector.
