Who Are the Market Leaders for Retail Store Checkout Systems?

Published: June 15, 2010

I am a designer, engineer and inventor with patents in a plethora of markets other than RFID, and I have a paper-napkin idea to discuss with a reputable firm willing to sign a nondisclosure and confidentiality agreement. With whom would you recommend I speak in the retail store/cash register checkout market?

Two leaders in the retail store checkout market are IBM and NCR. Fujitsu has also been making point-of-sale equipment. And, of course, Motorola manufactures the bar-code scanners used in most checkout systems; they are a major player in the RFID market.
