Our company will collaborate with Magconn Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Kokubunji City, Tokyo; President: Tomo Inoue) to showcase our commercial tablets at the "8th Kyushu-Okinawa Accommodation and Food Service Industry Exhibition" held at Marine Messe Fukuoka from October 28 (Wednesday) to 29 (Thursday), 2026. In the accommodation and food service industries, addressing labor shortages and the diversification of operations has become a significant challenge. Through our commercial tablets, which have a proven track record primarily in restaurant chains and various service industries, we have supported the improvement of operational efficiency and service quality on-site. At this exhibition, we will demonstrate the Windows model "TW2A-NF9LTA" and the Android model "TA2C-NF8," both equipped with NFC reader/writer capabilities. By combining these with Magconn's charging system, which allows for stable charging with a one-touch magnetic attachment, we will propose various improvements in operational efficiency, including information distribution services in guest rooms, table ordering applications, as well as uses in self-checkout and attendance management systems, while also creating new business opportunities utilizing NFC solutions.

ODS Corporation, a manufacturer of business information terminals (headquartered in Chiyoda, Tokyo; President: Kiyoshi Sunanaga), in collaboration with Magconn Corporation (headquartered in Kokubunji, Tokyo; President: Satoshi Inoue), will showcase its business tablets at "Medical Japan Tokyo," which will be held at Makuhari Messe from October 7 (Wednesday) to 9 (Friday), 2026. The exhibited products include the Windows model "TW2A-NF9LTA" and the Android model "TA2C-NF8," both equipped with NFC reader/writer capabilities for use in medical institutions and pharmacies. By combining both models with Magconn's charging system, which allows for stable charging with a one-touch magnetic attachment, we propose not only improvements in operational efficiency—such as verifying qualification information stored in My Number cards and managing attendance at clinics using employee ID cards—but also the creation of new business opportunities utilizing NFC solutions.

ODS Corporation will begin selling large touch terminals this winter, combining industrial touch panel displays with STBs (set-top boxes) equipped with Android OS or Windows OS, based on the experience gained from the development, sales, and support of commercial tablets and PCs. Amid the worsening labor shortage and the promotion of digital transformation (DX), the demand for large touch terminals is expanding across a wide range of industries, including manufacturing, logistics, and retail. This system supports the digitalization of various business scenes by combining high-durability touch panel displays of various sizes with Android or Windows-compatible STBs. In the future, it will provide a one-stop solution for hardware-related selection and procurement tasks, including customization support, selection of peripheral devices, and even the production of dedicated enclosures. This will create an environment where IT vendors engaged in system development can focus on software development, contributing to early adoption. The adoption of this system will enable system integrators (SIers) and other partners to make more specific and effective proposals based on customer needs and usage scenarios.

ODS Corporation, a manufacturer of business information terminals (headquartered in Chiyoda, Tokyo, CEO: Kiyoshi Sunanaga), has started providing a free update that adds new features to the employee efficiency app "NFC Optimizer" (for Android), which is standard on the popular NFC reader/writer-equipped Android tablet "TA2C-NF8" and the battery-less tablet "TA2C-NF8BL," aimed at reducing business burdens. The "TA2C-NF8" and "TA2C-NF8BL" can read various IC cards without the need for an external card reader and are compatible with FeliCa M class. This update introduces new features designed for a wider range of business scenarios, further enhancing convenience. Additional features that expand the usage of this device for various tasks utilizing IC cards, such as reading My Number cards like the My Number health insurance card, order terminal applications using in-house IC tags, and attendance management using employee ID cards, will be made available starting in July.

An OS update will be implemented starting with shipments in June 2026 for the business-use Windows tablet "TW2A-N9 Series" (TW2A-NF9LTA/TW2A-N9LTA/TW2A-N9LT), adding an original tool called "EZtools" that allows for one-touch custom settings tailored to customer usage and environments. As "EZtools," we will provide a new tool that enables easy one-touch execution of tasks that typically require separate kitting work or complex menu operations, such as AC-linked shutdown settings and disabling USB memory and built-in cameras. Each function can also be configured from the Windows settings menu, but the settings involve multiple layers, making it cumbersome for inexperienced on-site personnel. By miniaturizing each setting to allow for one-touch configuration based on the specific usage and environment of each customer, we can eliminate time-consuming setup tasks and the hassle and costs of kitting, thereby broadening the scope of use in various businesses and simplifying operations. Furthermore, this will contribute to labor-saving and efficiency improvements in industries facing labor shortages and difficulties in securing personnel, which have become social issues in recent years.
