| Since their
introduction in 1971, Sankyo’s magnetic card
readers have earned a strong reputation for
technological excellence and reliability,
founded on our exclusive technologies in magnetic
heads, large-scale integration (LSI), integrated
circuits (IC) and high-speed image processing.
Today our magnetic card readers hold the top
market share in the world for automated teller
machines (ATM’s), and are an integral part
of applications ranging from point-of-sales
(POS) equipment to mass transit and various
types of identification terminals.
Sankyo is aggressively
expanding in the fields of debit cards and
IC cards to take advantage of market growth
resulting from financial deregulation and
future opportunities in electronic money
and a cashless society.
Our card readers
are distinguished by the fusion of hardware
and software capabilities. This is accomplished
through in-house production of key parts;
specially developed LSI and application-specific
integrated circuits (ASIC) that leverage
strengths in software and firmware technology,
advanced analog and digital technology,
and the application of precision optics.
Quality is
guaranteed through exclusive evaluation
technology that matches conditions of actual
use and a total quality assurance system
- from product development to each stage
of the manufacturing process - ensuring
the highest level of customer satisfaction.
