Specialist manufacturer of PC-based touchscreens, LCD touchscreen monitors and point-of-sale hardware to the retail, hospitality and leisure industries, J2 Retail Systems, has launched a new top-of-the-range integrated touchscreen device, the J2 650.
J2s co-founder and Managing Director, Moray Boyd, commented: The J2 650 uses the most advanced PC technology to deliver the ultimate point-of-sale, point-of-service or point-of-information device for the most demanding user. It is our most versatile and high-performance integrated POS computer to date.
In technical terms, the J2 650s main attributes are:
- Intel 965 high-speed desktop chipset
- Dual core for optimum processing
- RAID technology for complete protection
- Optional low-energy green mode
- Base, pole or wall mounting options
The J2 650s powerful dual core processor delivers the high sales processing speeds demanded by the latest POS software, whilst removing the need for a dedicated server. Thanks to the J2 650s RAID technology, business data is completely safe, even in the event of a hard drive failure. For added protection, an optional UPS allows the unit to operate for up to 2 hours without a power supply. Continues Boyd: We are particulary proud of the 650s green mode. This mode of operation reduces the processor speed and negates the requirement of fans. Running as a fanless, machine, the 650s power consumption is cut by 25%, further reducing what is already a very low carbon footprint.
The J2 650s styling and compact footprint make it the ideal machine for retail or leisure users that are space-conscious and require versatility of use and location. With all its technology in the head, it can fill the role of a counter-top, wall- or pole-mounted unit. For harsh food retailing or food service environments, a watertight seal and intelligent fan technology deliver dust-free and spill-proof operation.
Thick or thin server configurations support the standard Microsoft operating systems along with the every increasingly popular Linux and, with a chipset that is part of Intels embedded roadmap, longevity comes as standard. Moray Boyd concludes: PoS technology users will find they can achieve all their goals with just one machine: running process-intensive software applications, achieving point-of-purchase security, improving business efficiency, adopting client-server or managing back-office processes.
The 650 shares the trademarks of J2 machines: a 3-year parts & labour warranty, and RoHS and WEEE compliance.
