MICROS Systems, Inc. is pleased to announce the release of the MICROS Keyboard Workstation 270 (MICROS KW270). This point of sale client for the Simphony Enterprise System has fully programmable keys, a bright display, spill-proof design, and rugged construction. The MICROS KW270 is ideally suited for stadiums, arenas, and other areas where exposure to liquids, bright sunlight, and extreme temperatures are common, or in remote locations on movable carts or temporary stands, as it can be equipped with a rechargeable battery. Designed with the environment in mind, the MICROS KW270, meets current and anticipated environmental regulations, including international requirements. MICROS understands the need for dependable, easy-to-use devices in the hospitality marketplace and to be successful, POS terminals must meet the stringent guiding principles the industry requires.
The MICROS KWS270 is easy to install; every workstation ships pre-installed with the highly intuitive installation model, MICROS CAL (Client Application Loader). No network engineer is required, as installation is as easy as plugging in a network and power cable, then following a few simple prompts on the display.
MICROS consistently produces hardware that sets the standard for reliability. The MICROS KW270 embodies this hard earned knowledge and experience. MICROS has overcome the mechanical wear weakness in today’s technology by eliminating moving parts such as cooling fans and hard drives, which can lead to sudden and catastrophic failure. The MICROS KW270 is passively cooled, without the use of fans, and utilizes flash memory for mass storage, and therefore does not require spinning drives. Even though passively cooled, the MICROS KW270 still retains MICROS’s commitment to highly spill resistant hardware and wide operating temperature ranges. These features, combined with high impact plastic construction, ensure the MICROS KW270 will withstand the punishing hospitality environment for years and still maintain an attractive finish.
Quick service is critical in concession environments; the unobtrusive MICROS KW270 has narrow dimensions and a low profile to keep counter space clear to let employees utilize more of the counter area. All cables pass through the center support of the stand, creating a clean installation and polished appearance. The workstation is greatly enhanced by its modular design and available options. The adaptable MICROS KW270 has flexible mounting options, wireless connectivity, and peripheral support, transflective customer display design, a portable printer attachment, battery operation, and integrated scanner.
