Robotics
Corp.
provides
self-checkout
systems
to
retailers
in
the
United
States.
The
Company's
principal
product
is
the
U-Scan,
an
automated
self-checkout
system
that
enables
shoppers
to
scan,
bag
and
pay
for
their
purchases
with
little
or
no
assistance
from
store
personnel.
The
U-Scan
system
is
equipped
with
a
convenient,
intuitive
touch
screen
interface,
and
provides
automated
voice
instructions
that
guide
the
shopper
through
the
entire
checkout
process,
from
scanning
the
first
item
to
removing
the
receipt
after
payment.
The
Company's
latest
products,
U-Scan
Carousel
and
U-Scan
Solo,
have
been
designed
to
extend
the
retail
applications
of
its
U-Scan
self-checkout
technology.
Much
like
the
U-Scan
Express,
each
of
these
new
applications
enables
customers
to
scan,
bag
and
pay
for
their
purchases
with
limited
or
no
assistance
from
store
personnel.
Another
product
developed
by
the
Company
is
the
Optimal
6300
POS
System,
a
cash
register
system
for
supermarkets. | | More
