TOSHIBA TEC Europe, a leading retail and industrial automation solutions provider, today announced the ST-A10, a durable and affordable TouchPOS system and winner of the coveted 2007 G-Mark Design Award in Japan earlier this month.
Bringing maximum connectivity, simplified cable management and an ultra-small footprint together helped secure Japan’s most prestigious Design Award. The new ST-A10 TouchPOS is the latest creation of the TOSHIBA TEC Design Centre in Tokyo under Takuro Masuda, taking styling clues from the Toshiba world-class laptop series.
One of 594 companies participating in Japan’s most prestigious Design competition, TOSHIBA TEC captured two out of three prizes for the Toshiba Corporation.
The new TRST-A15 receipt printer (double-sided) and the ST-A10 TouchPOS solution were chosen by the jury out of a total of 1,043 entries to underline that design is expected to play an ever greater role in our lives.
The ST-A10 TouchPOS touchscreen Point of Sales system will be offered to bakeries, hotels, bars, restaurants, service stations, food retailing, chemistry and pharmacies as well as textile and shoe retailing companies.
