Following extensive research into the developing market for custom made all-in-one touch screen terminal solutions, JAOtech Ltd was set up on August 17th 2006 and the Smart Terminal™ was born. The founders combined their progressive ideas with the vital needs of the market, with a view to create a globally unrivalled product. Utilising expert design skills and technical expertise. the Obie® was developed as the first JAOtech Smart Terminal.

Obie® and Zivo® were launched into the market to an overwhelming response. With significant business in the Healthcare and Retail sectors, turnover and profitability exceeded business plan expectations.

JAOtech have now proudly registered all existing Smart Terminal™ designs and are trademarked along with our new products, the Jima®, Iden® and Arie®, expanding on the range of terminal screen sizes. JAOtech now has over 35,000 Smart Terminals installed worldwide with offices in the U.K, Taiwan and the U.S.A.
