What is a POS system? | Explanation of terms and trends in POS registers - Posco Co., Ltd.

ポスコ ポスコ 東京
POS refers to a high-function cash register system with aggregation capabilities. POS is an abbreviation for "Point of Sale" in English, which literally means "point of sale," and the POS system is referred to as point of sale information management. A POS register reads the barcode information attached to the price tag of purchased items using a scanner at the moment of sale, displays the department, product name, price, and other details on the screen, prints them on a receipt, and simultaneously records various information in the memory of the cash register. For example, in the retail industry, the role of the POS register encompasses important functions ranging from the settlement processing at the point of sale to product, inventory, and customer management. The now indispensable POS register was imported from the United States in the 1890s and widely introduced in department stores in the 1910s, evolving uniquely as the importance of IT in business has increased. For instance, in Japan, automatic change dispensers that manage the mainstream cash payments have become fully integrated with POS registers as part of the POS system in the retail industry, including supermarkets and drugstores. It has now expanded its reach to the medical industry, including hospitals and clinics.

When the sensor detects a car, it notifies pedestrians of the car's departure with the light of a rotating beacon!

Perfect for entrances and exits of parking lots and stores! Notify pedestrians of vehicle departures with the light from the rotating lamp! Here is a proposal for a departure warning sensor!

  • NEW
  • CATALOG

[To the owners of parking lots and parking lot construction companies] "I am worried about the possibility of colliding with pedestrians when exiting the parking lot..." Among vehicle entrances to parking lots, stores, residences, and factories, those particularly facing sidewalks or roadways are expected to pose risks of dangerous incidents such as pedestrian collisions and vehicle-to-vehicle accidents. To alleviate such concerns, Hotron proposes a [Vehicle Exit Warning Sensor] that detects vehicle departures at various sites and alerts the surrounding area with LED lights and buzzers. The system consists of a simple configuration of "Sensor" + "Controller" + "Switching Power Supply (24V)" + "LED Rotating Light." *When using the exit warning system, we kindly ask that you arrange for the switching power supply (24V), LED rotating light, control panel, circuit breaker, etc. Since it can be retrofitted, it can also be used for existing parking lot entrances. [Contents Included] ○ Exit Warning System Configuration ○ Comparison Table of Exit Warning Sensors ○ Four Modes ○ Wide Range of Applications ○ Customer Feedback ○ Appearance Diagram / Specifications ◎ For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.
