China-made Unity Operating System (UOS) has added support for Centerm MK-500, a popular document scanner that is used by almost all bank outlets in China, in a move that has further improved the operating system's peripheral ecosystem.
Centerm MK-500 (official website) is a multifunctional intelligent device designed for counters that has integrated functions including vertical camera, magnetic card reader, IC card reader and ID card reader.
At present, the device is widely used in China by banks, securities firms, insurers and for transportation services. It has the irreplaceable importance of scanners, printers, and highly integrated magnetic card, IC card, ID card, fingerprint reader and other functions.
As cnTechPost reported earlier this week, Union Tech, the company behind UOS, has included a list of adaptations on the official website, including 360 safe browsers, Firefox, Chrome and other popular software that have been adapted.
At present, Union Tech has launched extensive and in-depth cooperation with Godson, Feiteng, Shenwei, Kunpeng, Zhaoxin, Haiguang and other manufacturers, and has launched all-round compatibility with mainstream domestic device manufacturers and hundreds of software manufacturers.
They also hope that more partners can participate in the adaptation work of the unified operating system UOS.
UOS is divided into desktop version and server version. The desktop version uses an independently developed desktop environment.
The system can support domestic CPU platforms such as x86, Loongson, Shenwei, ARM, etc., and can replace the Microsoft Windows operating system to meet the needs of different users for office, life, and entertainment.
