The highly resistant POS solution offers a wide range of features and an adaptable, ergonomic and avant-garde design. The system is a unique professional B2B tablet, flexible enough to offer over 6 product configurations :

Mobile configuration : for easy, ergonomic use, AURES has designed a slightly convex tablet with an off-centre elastic strap (black or white) distributing the weight evenly between your arm and forearm. The specific bi- material shell - resistant thermoplastic polyurethane combining the best features of rubber and plastic - is ultra- soft to the touch for more comfortable use and has a drop specification of 1.2m.

3. Docking station version : the tablet rests on its charging cradle - which has several input/output ports, forming a complete, ultra-compact point-of-sale terminal permanently connected to all POS equipment and peripherals (EPOS terminals, multiple touch-screens, interactive kiosks, smartphones, etc).
4. Wall mounted configuration: the SWING can be wall-mounted and used for all till and checkout operations, sales assistance (product and price display terminals) and POS digital display.

5. Mini-pole configuration : same applications as above, on a dedicated mini-pole.

6. Light BOX configuration : when wall or pole mounted, the SWING can be connected to the Light BOX, an independent small box/module to be placed under the sales counter (for additionnal connectivity with other POS peripherals).
