Widely known for its unrelenting focus on product reliability, Posiflex has continued that focus to the industrial-grade MT4308 tablet, which has undergone rigorous third-party HALT/HASS testing (Highly Accelerated Life Test / Highly Accelerated Stress Test), and is housed with a durable Corning® Gorilla® Glass projected capacitive touch screen for maximum protection.

Running on Windows® 10 IoT, and with support for multiple screen resolutions of up to 1280x800, the MT4308 is an 8" tablet that can conveniently transform into a handy barcode scanner or an all-in-one compact POS system. With the optional pistol grip that attaches to the tablet, the MT4308 ingeniously becomes a 2D barcode scanner. In addition, the pistol grip houses a battery pack to power the tablet up to 2x the charge, ideal for typical 8-hour work shifts. The MT4308 can easily connect to the optional docking station, which further converts the MT4308 into a traditional fixed POS system equipped with a thermal printer, MSR and additional I/O ports. Further optional accessories include a tablet carrying strap with an extended battery pack and a bracket to hold an EMV pin pad for secure transactions.

Bruce Steinhardt, President and CEO of OTech, confirms, “OTech has been a very satisfied client of Posiflex for 14 years. We are pleased with their line of products, and the MT4308 tablet is no exception. It’s a versatile product that works well with our solutions, and has enhanced WiFi capabilities that are ideal for OTech’s requirements.”

OTech is a healthcare solutions provider for medical practices, focusing on patient check-in and higher patient satisfaction. Steinhardt further states, “The MT4308’s design is practical. A common task like charging the tablet is effortless. You simply place it into the docking station, and it automatically starts charging. No fuss with finding the port to plug in a charger, like other tablets.”

The MT4308 becomes an essential tool for stores and restaurants, as it allows staff to effectively engage customers and, in turn, provide a better overall experience for their customers, as well as for themselves and the business. Kris Oldenburg, Director of IT for the southern-inspired restaurant chain, Biscuitville FRESH SOUTHERN, claims, “The MT4308 tablet in combination with the charging stations and other accessories make this product an excellent tool for our staff. In our testing, the productivity and throughput in the drive-thru has significantly increased since we have started using the Posiflex tablets in our restaurants. The light weight of the tablet and the available hot swappable batteries make the devices easy to use for our employees.”

The MT4308 is showcasing at various industry events, and is now available in the U.S. and Canada.
