Our company will collaborate with Magconn Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Kokubunji City, Tokyo, President: Tomo Inoue) to exhibit our commercial tablets at the "8th Kyushu-Okinawa Hospitality and Food Service Industry Exhibition" held at Marine Messe Fukuoka from October 28 (Wednesday) to 29 (Thursday), 2026. In the hospitality and food service industries, addressing labor shortages and the diversification of operations has become a significant challenge. Through our commercial tablets, which have a proven track record primarily in restaurant chains and various service industries, we have supported the improvement of operational efficiency and service quality on-site. At this exhibition, we will showcase the Windows model "TW2A-NF9LTA" and the Android model "TA2C-NF8," both equipped with NFC reader/writer capabilities. By combining these with Magconn's charging system, which allows for stable charging with a one-touch magnetic attachment, we will propose various applications such as in-room information distribution services, table ordering, as well as self-checkout and attendance management systems. This aims to improve operational efficiency and create new business opportunities utilizing NFC solutions.

ODS Corporation, a manufacturer of business information terminals (headquartered in Chiyoda, Tokyo; President: Kiyoshi Sunanaga), in collaboration with Magconn Corporation (headquartered in Kokubunji, Tokyo; President: Satoshi Inoue), will showcase its business tablets at "Medical Japan Tokyo," which will be held at Makuhari Messe from October 7 (Wednesday) to October 9 (Friday), 2026. The displayed products will include the Windows model "TW2A-NF9LTA" and the Android model "TA2C-NF8," both equipped with NFC reader/writer capabilities for use in medical institutions and pharmacies. By combining both models with Magconn's charging system, which allows for stable charging with a one-touch magnetic attachment, we propose not only improvements in operational efficiency—such as verifying eligibility information stored in My Number cards and managing attendance at clinics using employee ID cards—but also the creation of new business opportunities utilizing NFC solutions.

ODS Corporation will begin selling large touch terminals this winter, combining industrial touch panel displays with STBs (set-top boxes) equipped with Android OS or Windows OS, based on the experience gained from the development, sales, and support of business tablets and PCs. Amidst the worsening labor shortage and the promotion of digital transformation (DX), the demand for large touch terminals is expanding across a wide range of industries, including manufacturing, logistics, and retail. This system supports the digitalization of various business scenes by combining high-durability touch panel displays of various sizes with Android or Windows-compatible STBs. In the future, it will also provide a one-stop solution for hardware-related selection and procurement tasks, including customization support, peripheral device selection, and even the production of dedicated enclosures. This will create an environment where IT vendors engaged in system development can focus on software development, contributing to early adoption. The adoption of this system will enable SIers (system integrators) and other partners to make more specific and effective proposals based on customer needs and usage scenarios.

ODS Corporation, a manufacturer of business information terminals (headquartered in Chiyoda, Tokyo, CEO: Kiyoshi Sunanaga), has started providing a free update that adds new features to the employee efficiency optimization app "NFC Optimizer" (for Android), which is standard on the popular NFC reader/writer-equipped Android tablet "TA2C-NF8" and the battery-free tablet "TA2C-NF8BL," aimed at reducing business burdens. The "TA2C-NF8" and "TA2C-NF8BL" can read various IC cards without the need for an external card reader and are compatible with FeliCa M class. This update introduces new features designed for a wider range of business scenarios, further enhancing convenience. Additional features that expand the application range of this device, which supports various business uses utilizing IC cards, such as reading My Number cards like the My Number health insurance card, order terminal applications using in-house IC tags, and attendance management using employee ID cards, will be available starting in July.

An OS update will be implemented starting with shipments in June 2026 for the business-use Windows tablet "TW2A-N9 Series" (TW2A-NF9LTA/TW2A-N9LTA/TW2A-N9LT), adding an original tool called "EZtools" that allows for one-touch custom settings tailored to the customer's usage and environment. As part of "EZtools," we will provide a new tool that enables easy one-touch operations for tasks that typically require separate kitting work or complex menu navigation, such as AC-linked shutdown settings and disabling USB memory and built-in cameras. Each function can also be set from the Windows settings menu, but the settings involve multiple layers, making it cumbersome for inexperienced personnel on-site. By miniaturizing each setting to allow for one-touch adjustments based on the customer's specific usage and environment, we can eliminate time-consuming setup tasks and the hassle and costs of kitting, thereby broadening the scope of use in various business operations and simplifying tasks. Furthermore, this will contribute to labor-saving and efficiency improvements in industries facing labor shortages and difficulties in securing personnel, which have become social issues in recent years.
