Easy upgrade, effortless maintenance and strong power-saving ‘green’ architecture – a genuine retail-ready POS with years of endurance on board

TOKYO, September 2012 – TOSHIBA TEC today unveiled the WILLPOS M30, a sleek, high-performance hybrid POS system that will allow retailers to connect with sophisticated consumers in the new world of multi-channel retailing. This cost competitive point of sale terminal has been designed with the high-speed performance benefits often seen in business PCs.

The WILLPOS M30 performance benefits ensure the terminal is 5-20 times superior to the current competitive top of the range POS terminals. The WILLPOS M30 is indeed a successful balancing act of advanced PC technology with the key requirements of retail.

System developers and integrators of mission-critical applications rely on TOSHIBA TEC to provide them with the highest quality ruggedized electronics and innovations in computing and intelligent display solutions that deliver long-term solutions for the competitive edge. The WILLPOS M30 is geared for food and non-food operations and is suitable as a back-office server or a Kiosk engine box; it is clear the M30 will beat any PC on the drawer terminal on life expectancy, a mission-critical feature that is top of mind with buyers looking at their ROI.

Processing Power

This new cost competitive and high performance Toshiba design is based on the Intel Sandy Bridge architecture, delivering a number of Dual Core and I Core processor options, complemented with the option for up to 16GB of memory and a wide range of Microsoft Windows Embedded OS options as well as certified Linux.

Serviceability

Every single Toshiba POS system is synonymous with effortless maintenance and slide-out serviceability. The WILLPOS M30 front-loading design allows for quick and easy replacement of the HDD when required. Enhanced by Intel’s AMT technology and stacked with a full remote management software package, the WILLPOS M30 can have software easily re-loaded without the need for onsite engineer intervention.

Low Cost of Ownership

Backed by TOSHIBA TEC’s legendary in-house design, manufacturing and quality control teams, the retail-hardened new WILLPOS M30 has a life span way beyond the estimated 12-18 months of standard PC products.

The industry-leading power-saving ‘green credentials’ and future-proof upgrade options on board ensure retailers a positive ROI that sets the WILLPOS M30 apart from other PC-based POS systems. The embedded ‘Deep Sleep’ mode reduces its energy consumption in a most dramatic way when compared to the traditional ‘stand-by’ mode.

All Toshiba products are designed to strict ecological policies that take care of the environment and further strengthen a retailer’s corporate social responsibility (CSR) program at no extra cost.
At Toshiba we are committed to designing retail solutions with your business in mind. This means products that will do everything you expect, and products that look good doing it. It’s no wonder Toshiba has picked up countless design awards over the years.
