Optimal Robotics Introduces Complete Line of Low Profile U-Scan® Self-Checkout Terminals
Feb 5, 2002/ FW/ --- Optimal Robotics Corp. (NASDAQ: OPMR), reaffirms it's leadership position
in the self-checkout industry with the launch its new line of smaller, more compact U-Scan®
systems at the Food Marketing Institute's Marketechnics Show (February 3-5, 2002 in San Diego).
The new U-Scan® terminals have been significantly reduced in size and have been designed
using composite materials to give customers a true ATM look and feel. The terminals will be
available in a variety of configurations ranging from one to five bags, to suit the many needs
of today's retailers.
The reduction in size offers retailers the opportunity to extend self-checkout from the
traditional four terminal footprint to six terminals, while maintaining the supervision of a
single U-Scan® attendant.
Optimal will demonstrate the new, ergonomically designed terminals with new high-resolution
graphics, created using the XML language and offering increased flexibility and an enhanced
user interface. The combination of the smaller terminal size and exceptional graphics will
benefit both shoppers and retailers by providing a superior, self-checkout solution.
"We are very excited to be introducing this new line of U-Scan® terminals at Marketechnics this
year," said Henry Karp, Optimal's President and Chief Operating Officer. "They truly address the
most critical needs of our retailers; size and efficiency, and we are confident that shoppers will
love them too."
The company will also be demonstrating the U-Scan Mobile Attendant™, a handheld device that
enables U-Scan® attendants to perform a wide range of cashier functions while away from the
attendant station.
The U-Scan® will also have an integrated signature capture device, which enables shoppers
to sign electronically when making credit card transactions. Also featured will be the U-Scan
Compact Cashier™, and an Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS) system.
Optimal Robotics Corp. is the leading provider of self-checkout systems to retailers in North
America. The Company's principal product is U-Scan®, an automated self-checkout system that
enables shoppers to scan, bag and pay for their purchases with limited or no assistance from
store personnel.
