Fujitsu Self-checkout Goes Green

Fujitsu Transaction Solutions Inc. today announced that its U-Scan Carousel self-checkout system has been modified to support retailers’ green initiatives that include the elimination of plastic bags. The new design will be demonstrated in booth #1613 at the National Retail Federation (NRF) 97th Annual Convention & Expo, Jan. 14-15, 2008.

The carousel rack of the U-Scan self-checkout system has been redesigned with a special holding area for customers to place single or multiple green boxes. The U-Scan software has also been updated with a “My Bag” function to support customers that use reusable bags instead of plastic bags.

“Fujitsu has a deep commitment to environmental responsibility and the new U-Scan design is another example of how we continue to invest in innovation that is good for the environment,” said Paul Burel, self-checkout strategic marketing leader at Fujitsu Transaction Solutions. “The new green box and reusable bag features are designed to be easy for the customer and allows retailers to eliminate plastic bags from the environment without compromising the item weight security feature on self-checkout.”
