Company history · Shajing, Shenzhen · since 2013
We started in September 2013 on a rented 3,500 m² floor in Shajing, Shenzhen — one product idea, a bench of assembly fixtures and a list of component suppliers. Today the same company, in the same district, runs five assembly lines across 8,700 m² and builds around 10,000 POS terminals a month.
This page is the record of what changed between those two numbers, and what we deliberately left alone.

Most of what we are today was settled between 2013 and 2019. Everything after that has been depth rather than direction.
Shenzhen Daka Electronics Co., Ltd. was registered on 7 September 2013 and began building on a 3,500 m² rented floor in Shajing. DcaPOS is the brand we sell under; the company behind it has not changed since that day, and neither has the district we operate from.
The decision that shaped everything after it was narrow. Build terminals a shop can still get parts for three years after purchase, rather than terminals that win on the first quote. In a market where the cheapest mainboard design changes every eighteen months, that meant keeping our own structure drawings, our own assembly fixtures and spare boards on the shelf — instead of on a supplier’s promise.
The first in-house model left the line in 2014: a 15-inch Windows 8 all-in-one with a rear customer display, on a chassis we designed ourselves. Windows POS has stayed our primary platform ever since, and is still what most of our terminal range is built on.
The same year we shipped our first export order, to Japan. That set a standard we have not lowered. Japanese buyers inspect tolerances, carton drop performance and documentation before they discuss price. Being measured against that from our first year is why the packing station still looks the way it does further down this page.
The 2014 prototype — Windows 8, 15-inch, rear customer display.
Two changes in one year. ISO 9001 moved incoming inspection, in-process checks and final QC out of one supervisor’s habit and into written procedures. The same gates apply to every unit today.
We also started Android work — not to replace Windows, but because retail and hospitality buyers had begun asking for a lower-cost terminal for counter staff who run a single app. Windows POS and Android POS have run in parallel since. We do not push a customer from one to the other to simplify our own line.
By 2018 the old floor was the constraint. Orders were being scheduled around available space rather than around demand. We moved into an 8,700 m² building in the same district of Shajing and commissioned five assembly lines in the same year, which took nameplate capacity to roughly 10,000 units a month.
ISO 14001 followed in 2019 — mostly because larger European and Japanese accounts had started asking for it in supplier questionnaires, not because we wanted another certificate on the wall.

In the same year the range widened from POS terminals to self-service kiosks, kitchen display systems, label printers and handhelds. That reads like a leap; mechanically it was not. All five share board-level design, sheet-metal and injection tooling, and the same assembly and burn-in flow. A kiosk is a terminal with a larger enclosure and different I/O — not a different factory.
Customer accounts passed 3,000 in 2019 as well. The large majority are resellers, system integrators and POS software companies rather than end users, which is the mix we want: they specify, we build.
There is no year-by-year entry for 2020 onwards, because the honest record is that nothing structural happened: no change of ownership, no move, no rebrand, no pivot into software.
What changed was depth. The catalogue now covers receipt printers, cash drawers, customer displays, barcode scanners, industrial mini PCs and touch monitors, so a reseller can build a complete counter — terminal, printing, cash, scanning, display — from one supplier. Same registration, same district, same policy of holding spare parts for discontinued models.
None of these are stock photographs. The first set is the 3,500 m² floor we outgrew; the second is the building we moved into in 2019.

If you want to see either floor with your own eyes, we host customer audits in Shajing. Ask for a visit slot and we will put the lines you care about on the schedule.
A long history is not a selling point by itself. These five things are what it converts into.
01
Same registration since 7 September 2013, same district. When you need a bezel for a terminal you resold in 2016, there is still someone to ask and the drawing still exists.
02
Changing a port, a bezel or a panel means a new drawing and a slot in our own schedule — not a queue behind another brand at a contract manufacturer.
03
ISO 9001 since 2016, ISO 14001 since 2019, plus CE, FCC and RoHS per model.
04
We sell hardware, not software and not subscriptions. Your customer list stays yours, and we do not quote the end user behind you.
05
Tight tolerances and carton specifications were a customer requirement long before they became a marketing line.
Manufacturer. Shenzhen Daka Electronics Co., Ltd., registered in 2013, 8,700 m² in Shajing, Shenzhen, five assembly lines, around 10,000 units a month. DcaPOS is the brand the company sells under.
Yes. We are in Shajing, Bao’an District, Shenzhen. Send the dates and the models you want to see running on a line, and we will arrange both the visit and the sample room.
For most models, yes — boards, panels, bezels and adapters. Send the model number and a photo of the label; we will tell you what is in stock and what has reached end of life.
Japan, in 2014 — the same year our first in-house terminal went into production.
Because it was not four new factories. Kiosks, KDS, label printers and handhelds reuse the same board design, tooling and test flow as our terminals. The 2019 move is what gave us the floor space and the lines to run them in parallel.
No. We build hardware and supply drivers and SDKs. Our customers are largely resellers and POS software companies, and we do not compete with them for the end user.
Tell us the models, the volumes and the destination market. You will get a quotation with a lead time, and the name of the line the units will come off.
