Wincor Differences

Investment protection for the life of your systems
BEETLE systems provide a stable platform for your POS deployment. Wincor Nixdorf works with customers to lock-in a configuration during the POS rollout, providing a consistent platform based on Intel embedded chipsets and motherboard technology, even during multi-year rollouts. Couple that with Wincor’s spare parts guarantee — seven years beyond end-of-life — and the result is a platform you can count on as a stable POS foundation.

Freedom of choice
As the pioneer of open-systems POS, Wincor Nixdorf designed the BEETLE POS family to support the latest retail and industry standards, with an open architecture that provides true freedom of choice. This helps retailers avoid vendor lock-in while protecting existing investments in hardware and software.

Choose from:

• A full range of industry-standard retail peripherals, as well as storage, expansion and display options
• Operating systems including Windows® XP or XP Embedded, WEPOS, and Linux
• Application software from Wincor Nixdorf or third-party ISVs

Reliability you can count on
Your store systems are mission-critical — and BEETLEs meet the challenges of the harsh retail world. Built to run 24/7, BEETLEs employ retail-specific design features to ensure maximum reliability, including robust, easy-to-service aluminum housing; advanced, passive heat dissipation; extended temperature range and humidity operation; resistance to static charges, RF interference, and power surges; and powered peripheral, printer, cash drawer, and display connections.

Migration Services
Wincor Nixdorf’s Retail Migration Platform is a middleware solution that allows a retailer to move IBM 4690 legacy applications to the Windows XP or Linux platforms, without modifying the existing 4690 executable. This option provides a means of hosting the application on a modern, current operating system without porting the source code.
