The Best Accessories to Build a Complete ELO Workstation

Why Accessories Matter

Every kiosk or POS terminal is different. Some need secure payment; others need fast scanning.
ELO’s Edge Connect system was built to attach these peripherals directly to compatible displays—no exposed wires or bulky mounts.
