The HiStone EPOS Hardware Range Explained
HiStone EPOS hardware covers almost every point-of-sale role a modern business needs, from the main counter to the kitchen, the shop floor and the self-service area. Because the range shares common design principles, components and drivers, businesses can build a consistent estate that’s easy to support. Here’s an overview of the main product families.
All-in-One POS Terminals
All-in-one terminals combine the computer, touchscreen and optional customer display in one compact unit. They’re the most popular HiStone EPOS hardware for bars, cafés, restaurants and shop counters. Models include the HK788, HK960U and HK578. Browse the full all-in-one POS range.
Box POS Systems
Box POS systems separate a compact, fanless PC from the display, giving flexibility for custom counter layouts. See the HK600 POS system and other box POS systems.
Mobile POS
Handheld devices take orders and payments anywhere in the venue. The HM336 mobile terminal and HM628N are designed for all-day use.
Kitchen Display Systems
Kitchen screens replace paper tickets and help chefs manage orders in real time. The HD220E runs Windows and the HD220R runs Android.
Self-Service Kiosks
Self-checkout and self-order kiosks let customers serve themselves. Options include the HS150, HS330U, HS520 and HK568MSC.
Scale POS and Touch Screen Monitors
Integrated scale POS systems suit fresh-food retail, while touch screen monitors pair with box PCs or act as customer displays.
Why ICRTouch Accreditation Matters
Accreditation means the hardware has been tested with ICRTouch software so that resellers and operators can deploy it with confidence. Drivers, printers, cash drawers and peripherals behave as expected, which shortens installation times and reduces support calls. For ICRTouch dealers, choosing accredited HiStone EPOS hardware removes a layer of risk from every project. You can learn more about the software on the ICRTouch website.

How We Prepare Your Hardware
Every order that leaves our Leicester facility follows the same process. Hardware is inspected on arrival, configured to your requirements, loaded with your software image where needed, tested with its peripherals and asset-tagged before dispatch. That means your HiStone EPOS hardware arrives ready to install, with fewer surprises on site and a clear record of serial numbers for future support.
Looking After HiStone EPOS Hardware
With sensible care, HiStone EPOS hardware will give years of reliable service:
- Clean touchscreens regularly with suitable, non-abrasive cleaning products.
- Keep software updated to benefit from security and performance improvements.
- Protect cables and power supplies from damage in busy areas.
- Use surge protection where power quality is a concern.
- Report faults promptly so they can be resolved before they affect trading.
Planning an Upgrade
Many businesses replace their point-of-sale equipment in stages. You might start by adding kitchen displays or handhelds, then refresh counter terminals when budgets allow. Because HiStone EPOS hardware runs standard operating systems, new devices usually work alongside existing ones. Our team can help you plan a phased upgrade that spreads the cost while delivering benefits from day one.
Questions to Ask Before You Buy
- Which software will you run? Confirm compatibility and the recommended specification.
- How busy are your peak periods? Plan enough terminals, handhelds and kiosks for your busiest hour.
- Where will each device be used? Kitchens, bars and outdoor areas need robust hardware.
- What support will you need? Check warranty, repair turnaround and spare-parts availability.
- Can you see it first? Visit a showroom or request a demonstration before committing.

Inside the Hardware: Features That Matter
When you compare point-of-sale terminals, the details make a big difference to day-to-day use. Here are the features we encourage customers to look at closely.
Processors and Memory
A responsive till starts with a capable processor and enough memory. Modern terminals use efficient multi-core processors that run cool without fans, which helps reliability in dusty or greasy environments. Matching the specification to your software, with some headroom for future updates, keeps the system feeling fast for years.
Solid-State Storage
Solid-state drives start up quickly, resist vibration and have no moving parts to wear out. They’re now standard across most commercial terminals and are a key reason modern systems are more reliable than older equipment.
Touchscreens
Projected capacitive touchscreens respond quickly and accurately, even with light touches, and their glass surface is easy to clean. Bright, wide-angle panels remain readable in busy, well-lit areas.
Ports and Connectivity
Retail and hospitality set-ups rely on peripherals, so check that a terminal has enough USB, serial and network ports for printers, scanners, cash drawers, scales and customer displays. Wireless connectivity is also important for handhelds and some kiosk installations.
Customer Displays
A second, customer-facing screen builds trust by showing items and totals as they’re entered. Some models include an integrated customer display, while others support an add-on screen or pole display.
Peripherals That Work Together
A point of sale is only as reliable as its weakest component. We supply printers, cash drawers, scanners and displays that have been tested with our terminals, so there are no surprises on installation day. Common additions include:
- Thermal receipt printers for fast, ink-free receipts.
- Kitchen and bar printers where screens aren’t practical.
- Cash drawers opened automatically by the printer.
- Barcode scanners in handheld and presentation styles.
- Label printers for shelf-edge and weighed-goods labels.
- Mounts and stands for screens, kiosks and kitchen displays.
Energy Efficiency and Longevity
Fanless, low-power designs use less electricity than older desktop-style tills, run quietly and last longer because there are fewer moving parts to fail. Choosing durable equipment also means fewer replacements over time, which is better for both budgets and the environment. When devices eventually reach the end of their working life, we can advise on responsible recycling.

Warranty terms depend on the product. Our team will confirm the cover for each item when you request a quotation, and we handle warranty repairs in-house.
Can hardware be pre-configured before delivery?
Yes. We can load your software image, configure settings, test peripherals and asset-tag every device before it ships, so it arrives ready to install.
Getting Started
If you’re new to HiStone, the simplest way to begin is with a conversation. Tell us about your business, the software you use and the problems you want to solve. We’ll recommend a starting configuration, explain the options clearly and, if helpful, arrange a demonstration in our Leicester showroom or provide an evaluation unit for your team to test.
For resellers and software houses, we can also provide product training, datasheets and images for your proposals, along with trade pricing and access to our configuration and drop-shipping services. Many partners begin with a small number of evaluation units, approve a standard list of models for their software and then order from UK stock as projects come in.
Whatever the size of your project, our aim is the same: to supply reliable equipment, prepared properly and supported by people who understand how retail and hospitality businesses work every day.
