Business solutions

Epson offers several products such as TM-m30II-S mPOS devices and ColorWorks C6000 label printers that can transform point-of-sale and customer experiences, improve brand communication, and reduce cost and paper waste in the process. Showcasing agile switches to low-cost retail solutions, the Epson stand will also display digital signage solutions such as the EB-800F ultra-short-throw display solution. and Lightscene EV-105 lighting projector.

Epson will also launch scalable and cost-effective streaming solutions for home viewing and gaming experiences. The new line-up includes the stylish ELPSC35 ultra-short throw projector screen supporting laser TV projection and EH-LS500W laser projector, which allows for 4K streaming via HDMI.
Immersive experiences
Switch to state-of-the-art immersive technology with Epson, the world’s leading manufacturer of projectors with over a third share of the global projector market. Its high lumen laser projectors will be used to create and demonstrate an immersive and interactive experiential environment at GITEX. Recent Epson research reveals 75% of Middle East respondents have missed going to technologically enhanced events and attractions during the pandemic so there is expected to be a strong ‘bounce back’ for the events industry.
Epson’s solutions are in line with UAE’s leadership in using technology to transform the customer experience post-pandemic. The line-up on display at GITEX also includes projectors for retailers, hospitality organisations, museums, and visitor attractions to differentiate customer experiences with more impactful signage and experiential immersive displays.
Sustainability
Sustainability is a high priority for Epson and the company aims to make a difference in overcoming global environmental issues through its innovative technologies. Its pioneering range of printers with Heat-Free technology help customers and business partners switch to eco-friendly solutions and lower their environmental footprint, requiring less energy and fewer replacement parts without compromise. The ‘Turn Down the Heat’ campaign, a collaboration between Epson and National Geographic, aims to encourage and raise awareness of how businesses can reduce their impact on global warming and will also be activated at the stand.
In addition, Epson will officially launch PaperLab to the region. PaperLab is the first in-office, paper secure recycler in the world, that turns wastepaper into new paper. It helps businesses securely destroy sensitive information, recycle, reduce environmental impact and take control of paper supplies.
"Epson is delivering solutions that address the specific needs of the Middle East’s fastest-growing and recovering sectors, including education, retail, entertainment, and corporates that are welcoming colleagues back to the office," continued McMillan.
