DT handhelds make work in the hospitality industry as easy and agile as with the market-leading Android and iPhone devices.
Munich, January 21, 2025 – Mobile POS systems significantly improve efficiency and service. The future market is strongly dominated by modern Android and iPhone POS systems. But what can be done when, for example, restaurant chains operate main POS systems that are Windows-based? The Munich-based value-added distributor Concept International now has a solution for this: rugged handhelds from DT Research. Restaurant chains Marché Mövenpick Germany already uses 6-inch handhelds from the DT362 series as mobile devices to process orders and payments directly at the guest’s table.
The advantages of handhelds for staff and guests are obvious: orders are placed directly at the table and immediately sent to the kitchen and bar, saving time and legwork. Payment can also be made directly at the table – even by card. The direct input into the system minimizes transcription errors and provides a real-time overview of orders and stock levels, which facilitates inventory management.
Fiscalization via TSE or cloud possible
The DT362 DN (6-inch) and DT382 DN (8-inch) mobile POS systems can be used as clients of a main POS system or as master devices for legally compliant fiscalization – depending on which POS software from the Windows universe is used. USB sticks or microSD cards store every transaction carried out at the cash register without gaps for the Technical Security Device (TSE), protect against manipulation and archive the data. This enables the tax office to trace changes in a legally secure manner. However, the TSS does not always have to be hardware-based: Marché Mövenpick, for example, relies on a TSS cloud solution certified by the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI), which eliminates the need for microSD cards in handheld POS systems.
Proven handhelds for industry, warehousing and hospitality
The Windows handhelds are also used in logistics and industry. With the optional UHF/RFID and 2D barcode scanners, tags/barcodes on goods, vehicles or people can be scanned without contact within a range of up to 10 meters. The Windows device is equipped with a smart card reader for authentication.
WiFi, Bluetooth, NFC and barcode scanner on board
The DN versions are the latest generation of DT362 and DT-382 handhelds with Windows 11 IoT Enterprise, Intel N200 quad-core processor, 16 GB RAM and up to 1 TB ROM – so much performance in a 6-inch handheld, that’s never been seen before. Key features include NFC for cashless payments and 1D/2D barcode scanners. The 6-inch version weighs just 485 grams and has a 5-megapixel front camera and an 8-megapixel rear camera. This makes it easy to scan QR codes from vouchers, for example. The 8-inch device weighs 1.1 kilograms and is equipped with an 8 MB back camera including autofocus and white balance. The brightness of the touchscreen displays is 850 nits for the 6-inch handhelds and 800 nits for the 8-inch tablets, which is optimal for use as a mobile Windows POS. Both variants come with fast WiFi 6E and long-range Bluetooth 5.3 as their network interface. The robust hardware is certified according to protection class IP65 and military standard MIL-STD-810G, making it dustproof, resistant to water jets and ice, able to withstand shocks, vibrations and falls from at least 1.2 m, and able to withstand rust, mold and salty environments. The Concept International accessory program for the 6-inch handheld POS system includes a quick-charging cradle and a practical 4-slot charger.
