Fujitsu Unveils New U-Scan Genesis Self-checkout

Advanced Self-checkout Systems Offer Improved Flexibility, Scalability and Reliability; Ripe for Expanded Use in Non-Grocery Formats.

Fujitsu Transaction Solutions Inc. announced the U-Scan Genesis™ family of advanced self-checkout systems.

U-Scan Genesis offers a wide portfolio of hardware and software technology advances including:

Small Footprint – redesigned to offer the one of the smallest self-checkout footprints available, making it attractive for retail formats that have limited floor space.

Retail-hardened Fujitsu TeamPoS 3000 terminals – designed to withstand the rigors of high-volume checkout environments with easy serviceability.

Two-handed scanning – enables shoppers to scan items one after the other and then place in the bag to further accelerate the check-out process. Shoppers do not have to scan and bag one item before scanning and bagging another.

“Above scanner” bill and coin accepting and dispensing units located together – speeds the transaction process and reduces the chance of customers leaving money behind.

ATM-style “follow me” LED lighting – guides users through the checkout process.

More intuitive customer interfaces support up to 12 languages - makes the checkout process more efficient.

Fujitsu’s new F53 bill dispensing unit – improves dispensing rates while reducing bill jams – the most common self-checkout service and maintenance issue.

Coin hopper or coin canister dispensing units – allows retailer to choose the option that’s best for their environment.

Metrologic scanner/scale – offers accurate first-pass scan rates with 6-sided, 360° scanning.
