And that’s not it! After having such a successful 2014 the team are looking forward to kicking of 2015 with a bang with some exciting new products from our partners Avalue, Shuttle and Litemax. But that’s not all that we've got in store for you next year; with the recent release of our vandal resistant touch monitor from DisplayTouch, we are looking forward to spreading the word about our innovative and cost effective in house brand.

Introducing Rity by Avalue – Your all in one solution to POS

Avalue is one of the leading manufacturers in the industrial computing sector and they have been busy working on a new product range for POS and retail operations. Welcome Rity – the all in one fanless POS system with added features to keep on top of customer’s changing requirements. But what is it that makes the Rity so special compared to other POS systems?

To begin with, the Rity series has additional features that normal POS systems may not offer as standard. Some of these include:

• The latest Intel Platforms
• Rich I/O interfaces
• Fanless Design
• Front IP65 and Back IP41
• Service windows for RAM and HDD
• Support Cash Drawer (12V/24V)

The Rity series also benefits from having anti-scratch technology which prolongs the life of the product, whilst having a dust and water proof system that prevents damage from daily use – a feature that is very convenient for the retail environment. The range comes in 8”, 10”, 12” and 15” models, and the rich I/O offers 6 USB ports, 2 Ethernet points and optional HDMI and CAM ports, which offer a broad horizon for a range of retail applications. The service windows on the device allow easy access for system maintenance and the fanless body reduces noise and increases durability.

It is clear to see that the Rity range is an ideal solution for many retail and POS applications, and being manufactured by an ISO9001:2008 accredited company you can trust that Avalue will provide the highest possible standard throughout their product range.
