| Panasonic’s compact Lite-ray POS workstation offers an all-in-one design to deliver an array of functionality but at an affordable price, according to the company. |
Panasonic recently introduced the newest addition to its line of award-winning point-of-sale (POS) workstations, the Lite-ray.
The new POS workstation offers Panasonic performance and reliability with an open platform that provides the flexibility to accommodate virtually any POS software application from virtually any industry, said the company. Its compact size and all-in-one design deliver an array of functionality usually only found in higher-priced systems at an affordable price, according to the company.
“Our objective with Lite-ray is to provide the store owner or manager a high-quality POS solution at an affordable price with a competitive three-year warranty,” said Sam Miyakodani, group manager of Panasonic System Networks Co., Secaucus, N.J. “And with the ability to purchase from almost any reseller, it’s easy to get up and running.”
With a design based on Panasonic’s industry-leading Stingray workstation, Lite-ray is purpose-built with a fanless design featuring fewer moving parts, said the company. Its Intel Atom Processor is power-optimized to deliver more robust performance per watt and the open architecture supports Microsoft Windows, including both standard and embedded platforms, along with Linux, said the company.
Lite-ray comes equipped with a 15-inch dual backlight, high resolution/high contrast anti-glare LCD, which can be adjusted to accommodate for various lighting conditions or employee heights, said the company.
Its Resistive Touch Panel can even accommodate users when they must wear gloves, according to the company. And the rear or customer-facing LCD enables dynamic POP (Point of Purchase) selling to help increase profits while saving counter space.
Backed by a three-year warranty, the new Lite-ray POS workstation is durable and reliable even in severe environments to withstand spills, static, dust, dirt, shock, grease, extreme temperatures and humidity, said the company.

- Optional second HDD with RAID 0, 1 support provides data protection and backup
- Optional internal uninterrupted power supply ensures smooth system shutdown and recovery in the event of sudden power loss
- Optional security features include fingerprint reader or Dallas Key for operator ID verification

- Optional rear-facing 2-line vacuum fluorescent display confirms orders, improving order accuracy
- Second LCD port for 15-inch rear display option enables graphical suggestive selling and order confirmation
