Press ReleaseTyco Electronics: Two New Families of Elo All-In-One TouchcomputersD-Series and 19R Series: an array of new products for the Retail and Hospitality Environments.
D-SERIES: STYLE, FLEXIBILITY AND FUNCTIONALITY 26th April 2010 — Elo TouchSystems, a Tyco Electronics business, is introducing a full line of high performance versions of the original 15D1 All-in-One Touchcomputer. Small to medium-sized retail and hospitality businesses now have four new choices of versatile, highly functional and elegantly designed touchcomputer solutions. “The original 15D1 represented an evolution in touchcomputer solutions,” explains Bradley Verona, product manager. “It delivered what our customers wanted -- a small footprint touchcomputer that combined performance, strong value, enhanced field serviceability and more connectivity options. Now they have four more choices based around an Intel Celeron Dual Core 2.2GHz or Core 2 Duo 3.0GHz and 15-inch or 17-inch touch screens.” The D-Series family was developed from the ground up for point-of-sale and point-of-service applications. The family offers compact, modern displays with a footprint that is sized to match standard cash drawers. The same broad range of optional POSperipherals is still available from Elo and includes a perpendicular MSR card reader for small spaces, a hand-held bar code scanner, a fingerprint reader, and a customer facing display. Upgrading or adding new functionality to any D-Series touchcomputer system is quick and easy because peripherals are field-installable to minimize downtime. All Elo D-Series touchcomputers are available with a range of input/output port connection options to allow virtually any POS configuration and the D-Series family supports third party peripherals such as cash drawers and printers. Serviceability for the D-Series touchcomputers is easy -- the unit’s motherboard, hard drive and power supply are all easily accessible and field-replaceable to enable rapid replacement or upgrades. For customers who require more storage capabilities, a second 160 gigabit hard drive can easily be added. The unit’s hard drive, cable management capabilities and spill-resistant housing provide a long functional life, all at a competitive price. “We intend the D-Series for use by the small to medium-sized customer,” concludes Verona. “We’re confident this family will exceed the expectations of even our most exacting customers.” The D-Series touchcomputers are available with either True-Flat AccuTouch resistive, IntelliTouch surface acoustic wave, or Zero-Bezel Acoustic Pulse Recognition (APR) touch technologies. The Zero-Bezel APR screen provides a virtually 100 percent useable surface area. The zero-bezel design removes the frame or bezel of standard monitors creating a seamless glass surface that supports a brilliant touch experience and easier maintenance. Each unit is available with the Windows Embedded for POS (WEPOS) operating system fully installed, enabling broad compatibility with peripheral software and drivers. The D-Series is also available with Windows XP and cash drawer (OPOS) operating systems. 19R ALL-IN-ONE TOUCHCOMPUTER FAMILY: POWER AND FUNCTIONALITY With the 19R Series, Elo TouchSystems is addressing the demanding needs of different point-of information venues such as retail stores, hospitability, gaming and healthcare environments with a range of performance options in a sleek and stylish package.
“Customers can now take advantage of a small footprint touchcomputer that combines industry-leading performance with the strong value of Elo TouchSystems,“ states Thomas Richardson, PhD, business development manager. “The 19R touchcomputer series is the latest addition to the Elo TouchSystems family of reliable, multi-function touch solutions.” The 19R Series comes in three powerful configurations that cover a range of touch computing needs with a choice of Intel® processors. The 19R1 and 19R2 provide a high standard of quality for customer registration stations and check-in points as well as interactive digital signage applications. For routine computing needs, the 19R1 model comes with the Intel Atom™ dual-core 1.6GHz processor and the 19R2 is powered by the Intel Pentium® 2.6GHz processor for high performance computing needs. The 19MR1 with UL60601 certification and the Intel Atom dual-core 1.6GHz processor is well-suited for use in medical and healthcare environments such as pharmacy automation, radiology and operating room control stations, patient registration and patient bedside entertainment in hospitals, outpatient surgical centers and other healthcare settings. The 19R Series All-in-One touchcomputers offers flexibility by supporting the popular Microsoft® Windows® XP operating system and is also available without operating system. All units utilize the Elo Acoustic Pulse Recognition (APR) touch technology for its recognized ability to withstand the rigors of public venues such as retail display units, customer loyalty systems, point of information systems, internet access sites, digital signage as well as bedside entertainment and home control. The all glass zero-bezel design is a valuable feature where clean-ability and disinfection of the touchscreen are important. ABOUT TYCO ELECTRONICS ABOUT ELO TOUCHSYSTEMS
