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.

HK-2

Recommended for earthquake measures for automatic doors and equipment! Seismic device HK-2.

  • NEW
  • PRODUCT

Japan is one of the top 10 countries in the world with frequent earthquakes. The 2020 White Paper on Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism has also reported an increase in the probability of major earthquakes occurring. Regarding the Nankai Trough earthquake, the probability of an earthquake with a magnitude of 8 to 9 occurring within the next 30 years is estimated to be 70 to 80%. At Hotron, we recommend the introduction of seismic devices for earthquake countermeasures in buildings and equipment. The seismic device 'HK-2' is a product that automatically performs various controls that have been pre-set when it detects strong shaking equivalent to a seismic intensity of 5 lower or higher. For example, it can automatically execute actions such as: "Open automatic doors and gates to secure evacuation routes and access for emergency vehicles" "Transmit signals to the control room and stop facility equipment" "Unlock the keys to locked lockers" "Automatically play voice guidance" For more details, please download the materials or contact us.

  • NEW
  • COMPANY

Seven Corporation has begun research and development related to rust prevention, aiming to expand the functionality of the natural multifunctional aqueous solution "SEA'S 7." This research is being promoted as a collaborative study with the Industrial Technology Research Institute. In recent years, the manufacturing industry has been seeking technologies that balance environmental impact reduction and improved work safety, making rust prevention measures after cleaning a critical issue. This research includes corrosion evaluation using metal test pieces, measurement of weight changes, and durability tests in a circulating water environment, advancing the understanding of rust prevention mechanisms and performance evaluation. In the future, we aim to develop a next-generation SEA'S 7 that incorporates rust prevention functionality in addition to cleaning, disinfection, and deodorization, contributing to the efficiency of manufacturing processes and the reduction of environmental impact.

Surprisingly unknown? The difference between "accounting systems" and "document management systems."

  • NEW
  • OTHER

This time, we will explain the differences in roles between the "accounting system" and the "document management system," which are surprisingly not well known, as well as points that are often overlooked in legal compliance. ■ The difference between accounting systems and document management systems is their "scope of coverage." - Accounting System = Management of "money (numbers)" - Document Management System = Management of "evidence (documents)" ■ Documents that are often overlooked in accounting systems The accounting system primarily focuses on "accounting processes." - "Estimates" where no money movement occurs - "Delivery notes" and "purchase orders," which are intermediate points in transactions ⇒ There are cases where these are not saved or managed in the accounting system. This could be considered a deficiency under the Electronic Bookkeeping Act. ■ Supplementing the missing parts with an "independent system" While there are high-function ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) systems that can manage everything from estimates to invoicing seamlessly, the reality is that the cost can be a significant barrier to implementation. Therefore, there is also the option of managing documents with an independent document management system like paperlogic. Paperlogic is currently offering a free trial. Please feel free to contact us.
