The BEETLE POS Family

BEETLE /S
Professional – Scalable – Future-oriented

Just as versatile as retailing is the

BEETLE POS system family from
Wincor Nixdorf.

Developed and designed for use in retail-

ing and the service sector, it offers the
necessary functionality and flexibility for
modern IT POS solutions. The systems
are based on standard PC technology
and combine this technology with tried-
and-tested, POS-specific features for the
benefit of users.

The BEETLE /S model is the mini POS sys-

tem, developed for use as a space-sav-
ing desktop POS system for standalone
operation or server-oriented network
solutions. Up to two I/O extension slots
and the onboard interfaces ensure suf-
ficient reserves for current and future
requirements. A hard disk and a floppy or
CD-ROM/DVD drive can be configured as
storage drives. A flash memory card can
also be used instead of the hard disk for
thin client applications.

The system offers the latest PC technology
based on the Intel processors Celeron and
Pentium III with the Intel 815E chipset. For
connecting peripherals, there is a wide
range of standard PC and retail-specific
powered interfaces for cash drawers,
scanners, POS printers, touch screens,
customer displays, etc. via RS232 and
USB.
The BEETLE /S is the ideal system platform
for powerful Windows 32 and Linux-based
applications with a graphic user interface,
as well as for the still widespread text-ori-
ented DOS POS solutions. A particular
highlight: in conjunction with our 12.1”
or 15” active matrix TFT touchscreen, the
system is turned into an intuitive touch
POS system. Operating staff are navi-
gated through the application at the touch
of their finger in an easily understandable
way with the relevant user interface. This
reduces incorrect inputs and means that
new employees can become familiarized
with the system more quickly. It therefore
also ensures reduced total cost of owner-
ship. The BEETLE /S also comes as an
indoor kiosk system for wall mounting.
