Introducing the All new AL-7400
The non-vented housing has been designed to withstand liquid ingress in hospitality locations. The high quality ELO touch 5 wire touch screen is designed to work reliably in harsh environments.
The modern appearance is enhanced by the use of a clever cable management system which conceals the wiring between the terminals and peripherals. The new Intel Atom dual core D510 processor with L2 cache memory is fast and powerful; the low power consumption saves energy and permits silent fanless operation.
There is excellent connectivity with 5 x serial, 5 x USB and 2 x Giga LAN ports. There is even a 24 volt DC out supply so that you can power the local printer directly from the terminal.
Long life, reliability, and ongoing low cost maintenance were part of the design concept for the AL7400. Our years of experience with PC based products of all makes has shown that the two items which are most likely to need replacing over a period of time are the hard drive and the power supply. On the AL7400 they are both end user exchangeable.
Additionally there is the option of SSD (solid state drive) for extended service life; solid state drives are designed to have a service life in excess of 50 years.
A two line customer display is integrated into the rear side of the touch screen; a free standing pole display is also available. The Dallas lock is mounted on the front of the base assembly for fast secure one touch sign in, a separate card reader is also available as an option. The advantage of separating the card reader and Dallas lock is that you only have to buy what you need. Fingerprint readers and RFID readers are also available.
The ‘All in the top’ design means that the base unit can be replaced by a pole or a wall bracket according to the individual requirements at the point of sale. If required the AL7400 can have a 12.1” or 15” rear screen as a customer facing display screen.

The Soiree Restaurant and Lounge Bar opt for AX-3000
The Soiree Restaurant and Lounge Bar recently chose Global 15, a long established Geller dealer to install the Uniwell AX-3000 system into their new club in Staines.
The requirement was for six terminals in a bar and restaurant. The terminals were to be linked to each other and to four Ethernet printers for Bar/kitchen and Bill printing. Global 15 used the Geller training facilities in Greenford to set the system up and pre-load the customer’s data prior to delivery.
The system was installed on a Friday in a brand new club with untrained staff. The install was quick and easy and the staff were able to use the intuitive system with no problems
at all.
One month on the systems are running perfectly and The Soiree team are happy customers - testament to the strength, usability and reliability of the Uniwell AX-3000.
Full case study to follow soon.

GELLER BUSINESS MACHINES ACQUIRED BY CONSOLIS SYSTEMS
LEADING CASH REGISTER DISTRIBUTOR GELLER BUSINESS MACHINES ACQUIRED BY CONSOLIS SYSTEMS
Geller set to expand into integrated EPoS payment systems
LONDON, 12 JULY 2010: Consolis Systems Limited - a leading retail management software and services company - today announced that it has acquired the entire share capital of Geller Business Equipment Limited, the UK's oldest and largest distributor of cash registers and electronic point of sale systems (EPoS) for the retail and hospitality industries.
Terms of the acquisition deal were not disclosed.
Geller will become part of the Consolis group of companies, but will continue to operate under its own trading name of Geller Business Machines. Its customers include the Post Office, Oxfam and Chevron.
Geller's managing director, Norman Geller, will continue in his present role. Peter Moore, managing director of Consolis Systems, will become chief executive officer of Geller Business Machines.
The acquisition will not affect staffing levels at Geller and all of the company's current employees will be retained.
Consolis said the acquisition will enable Geller Business Machines to become a powerful new force in the retail technology market by uniquely combining its 53 years of point of sale hardware experience with the advanced retail management and payment processing software of Consolis subsidiary CES Software.
Geller is now expected to put a major emphasis on developing integrated EPoS payment solutions for a new generation of retailers who are switching from stand-alone cash registers to more sophisticated technology-led systems. The new systems will provide vital management information, as well as customer behaviour data and low-cost electronic payment solutions.
Norman Geller, managing director of Geller Business Machines, said:
"We have been working on this great move forward for the company for some time. It marks the next step in the evolution of our business which began with press down key cash registers in 1957, then the first electronic models in the 1970s, and more recently web-based PC cash registers.
"With the financial resources to take the company forward, we can now look at developing the next generation of EPoS products. This will enable us to take full advantage of the changing needs of the retail and hospitality industries as they emerge from the recession."
He added: "We and Consolis have complementary skills, but a shared belief in the future of EPoS in the UK. We have several innovative projects in the pipeline which we will bring to market over the next year."
Peter Moore, managing director of Consolis Systems, said: "Geller has been working closely with our subsidiary CES Software for about 12 years. It became apparent that there are a lot of synergies between Geller's hardware innovations and the new software we are developing. When the opportunity arose to acquire Geller, it made sense to bring the two companies together."
Moore added: "Geller already provides some excellent products and has a great reputation for reliability and integrity. We aim to take the company to a new level by enabling them to offer a broader and more complete range of EPoS products - with increased customer support - and get these new products into the market faster.
