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.
