POS refers to a system or a combination of systems that are used to facilitate easy and faster checkout for customers at various outlets. A standard POS system consists of a computer, monitor, cash drawer, receipt printer, barcode scanner, POS software,

weight scale, and sometimes credit and debit card readers. POS terminals are used for facilitating cashless transactions for sales of goods and are used by retailers to manage information related to their inventory, customers, and cash flows. They are mainly used for retail sales management.The EMV POS terminals are a combination of hardware and software, which enable users to avail card payments directly without updating the cash registers from anywhere. The cost of installing a terminal varies with the size of the business unit and selling terms with the channel partners and suppliers. Segments such as pubs,takeaways are small units integrating EMV POS terminals. Hence, the cost of installation will vary accordingly (the memory limit for software and hardware).

Emulsifiers are substances that help in creating a smooth mixture of two or more ingredients, which otherwise do not combine easily, and keep them from separating.Emulsifiers are molecules with one oil-friendly and one water-friendly end. The waterfriendly end in a food emulsifier is known as the hydrophilic tail and the oil-friendly end is known as the hydrophobic head. Emulsifiers find extensive use in the agriculture,building and construction, elastomers, plastics, food and beverages, industrial cleaning, leather, metals, paper,textiles, paints, protective coatings, and other industries. Few examples of commonly used emulsions in various application areas

include pharmaceutical emulsions, rubber emulsions, textile emulsions, pesticide emulsions, food emulsions, emulsions in the paint industry, emulsions in the polish industry, and leather and paper treatment emulsions. Cosmetics like moisturizers and sun care creams contain emulsifiers. Light and less greasy creams incorporate oil-inwater (o/w) emulsions, whereas heavy creams for the treatment of rough skin use water-in-oil (w/o) emulsions, in which oil is the primary ingredient. Personal care items such as liquid soaps,toothpaste, and many body care products also contain emulsifiers.In this market research report, Technavio covers the present scenario and the growth prospects of the global emulsifier market for 2017-2021.

The automatic soft-close door is a door locking mechanism in automobiles. These systems help enable the door to be closed gently rather than banging it with significant force. In this system, the sensor mounted near the latch detects the door within half an inch and actuates a motor that pulls the door to a complete shut position. The system releases the door to prevent any injuries if the sensors detect an obstruction between the door and the latch. The different components of the system include working gear, support cantilever, electric drive, door position sensor, control unit, and a cable. This feature is crucial in terms of from safety and convenience as it ensures that the vehicle doors are shut and prevents injury to passengers that occur in the case of accidental unlatching of doors.

Mechanical keys used in vehicles have given way to high-end innovative electronic entry systems using integrated circuits that imply electromagnetic signals to lock or unlock the door. An RKE system allows vehicle entry without the need for a mechanical key, offering security and convenience. RKE systems were introduced in early 1985 in the luxury vehicle segment and gained popularity among mid-segment vehicles by 1990. Although this system took time to be adopted by end consumers, they have gained considerable traction over the years. By the mid-2000s RKE evolved into a technology that allowed drivers to lock and unlock vehicle doors with no effort, using high frequency radio signals emitted from a keyless fob, which communicates with the vehicle without the driver’s intervention. This made it possible for a driver walking toward his parked vehicle to unlock the doors just by moving within a specific range of the vehicle. This was called the passive keyless entry (PKE) system. In terms of volume sales, RKE systems dominate the automotive market as they are cheaper than PKE systems. On average, PKE systems cost $90-$150 in the aftermarket, which is five times the cost of RKE systems, priced an average of $20-$25. Although a small percentage of vehicles continue to use mechanical key systems, this is expected to reduce during the forecast period as keyless entry systems become cheaper and adoption rates increase.

A wiper system is an electromechanical component placed on the windshield of automobiles. It is used to enhance the visibility of the windshield by wiping off unwanted sand, dust, and water particles caused by harsh weather conditions such as dust storms, rain, and snow. Rain sensors are used in wiper units of vehicles for automatic wiping. Rain sensing windshield wiper technology is based on the principle of total internal reflection (TIR). The amount of light returning to the sensor depends on the amount of water on the windshield. During a downpour, the amount of light returning to the sensor decreases, thus switching on the wipers automatically; the speed is adjusted according to the heaviness of the rain.

Radar sensors (also known as headway sensors) are a key component of advanced driver assistance systems (ADASs). These sensors are employed to constantly sense (in real-time) the distance between vehicles or between the vehicle and large objects around it, thereby improving driving efficiency and safety. Automotive radar systems are usually employed in ADASs, including

A sensor is a device that detects changes in its immediate environment by picking stimulus changes and updates the system electronically. Sensors are engineered to detect chemical, physical, and process changes. A sensor sends out electronic signals, which are measured and recorded, and based on the information a corrective change is executed. There are many types of automotive sensors, such as pressure sensors, wheel speed sensors, temperature sensors, fluid level sensors, and emission sensors.

Premium audio systems deliver high-performance sound experience using a number of speakers, woofers, and other components. Automotive premium audio systems are those with surround sound, eight or more speakers, and power amplification of 400 watts and more, which offer a theater-like sound experience within the vehicle. These high-performance systems are usually part of the in-vehicle entertainment systems in luxury sedans, SUVs, and vans.

A power tailgate system is a device that aids the opening and closing a car’s tailgate or boot lid automatically. The tailgate can be opened and closed by pressing a button in the dashboard, using a remote controller, or through gestures, which are tracked by sensors placed beneath the rear bumper. The system consists of mechatronic components that are enclosed in a power assembly comprising electric latches, component carriers, and closures for opening and closing of the tailgate.
