POS Hardware

POS Terminal Hardware | Levinko

Levinko is a commercial touch screen and LCD display manufacturer based in Shenzhen, China, operating since 2010. We build POS terminal hardware for B2B customers — the terminal host, the touch display, and the peripheral layer around them — and we supply it as a configured unit or as separate components for your own integration. Our customers are mainly SaaS companies and system integrators across Europe, the USA, Japan, and South Korea.

This page sets out how we define POS hardware supply scope, how peripheral adaptation works, and where the boundary sits between the hardware we deliver and the payment system you run on it.

What Counts as POS Hardware in Our Supply Scope

A POS station is not one device. It is a small system, and most integration problems start when the boundaries between its parts are left undefined. We split it into three layers:

  • Terminal host. The computing unit that runs your application — available as an integrated terminal or as a separate computing module and mainboard for embedded builds.
  • Touch display. The operator-facing screen, built from A-grade LCD panels with the touch technology matched to your use case.
  • Peripheral layer. The interfaces that connect external devices. PoE power, NFC/RFID reading and RS485 industrial control are native. Card readers, receipt printers, scanners and other modules are evaluated for integration per project.

You can buy the full assembly from us, or you can buy individual layers and integrate them into hardware you already produce. We support both supply models.

Terminal Host: Choosing the Right Compute Platform

The host determines what your software can do and how long the deployment stays viable. We build around three operating systems natively: Android, Windows, and Linux; OS availability is confirmed per model. The right choice usually follows from your software stack rather than from the hardware itself.

  • Android suits dedicated, appliance-style POS applications where the software is fixed and the update path is controlled.
  • Windows suits environments running existing desktop POS software or requiring Windows-specific peripheral drivers.
  • Linux suits integrators who want a lean image, full control over the OS layer, and long-term stability.

We also supply computing modules and mainboards separately. If your product already has an enclosure, display, or industrial design, integrating one of our boards is often faster than adapting a finished terminal.

Touch Display: The Operator Interface

The display is where staff spend their shift, so the selection criteria are practical: panel quality, touch response, and mechanical fit.

We use A-grade LCD panels across our display range, including wall-mounted tablets and panels, digital signage and commercial displays, and industrial touch panel PCs. Touch technology is matched to the deployment; mounting options such as counter-top, wall-mounted or embedded installation are evaluated per project.

Our production facility covers 3,000 sqm with high-precision SMT lines and standardized assembly. Every unit — display, host, or complete terminal — undergoes a mandatory 24-hour continuous aging test before shipment. This is not a sampled check; it applies to every unit.

Peripheral Adaptation: Native Interfaces and Project-Based Integration

Peripheral support is where a POS build succeeds or fails in the field. A terminal that meets its specification on the bench but drops a card read under load is a support ticket, not a product. We handle peripheral adaptation at the hardware and interface level:

  • PoE power for network-connected devices, reducing separate power runs.
  • NFC/RFID reading for contactless card and tag interaction.
  • RS485 industrial control for connecting industrial peripherals and controllers over longer cable runs.

Additional peripherals such as card readers, receipt printers, scanners, cameras and payment modules are evaluated for integration per project. Interface configuration is defined with you during project scoping.

Software Integration Boundaries

We are a hardware manufacturer. We do not supply payment processing, acquirer relationships, or payment applications — and we do not claim to.

What we provide is the hardware foundation your software runs on. That gives your development team control over the application layer, the payment logic, and the user flow, while we supply hardware built from A-grade panels, with every unit passing a 24-hour aging test before shipment.

If you are a SaaS company shipping a POS terminal product, this boundary matters commercially: your platform stays yours, and the hardware underneath it is specified, tested, and repeatable.

OEM/ODM Customization and Timelines

For integrators and SaaS companies building differentiated products, we offer OEM/ODM customization. Rapid prototyping runs in 3–5 days, which lets you evaluate a form factor, interface layout, or peripheral configuration before committing to volume production.

Customization scope, such as enclosure, display size and branding, is defined per project. Certificates are available upon request.
