Our customer is one of the leading QSR brands and also one of the early adopters of digital ordering technology. They planned to implement self-ordering kiosks in hundreds of stores. As a point of sale, a kiosk should be able to provide an intuitive interface which allows customers to order and pay securely for their food and give them the opportunity to create personalized menus without having to approach the front counter. This required a highly reliable turnkey digital signage media player solution with long life component support. Also, the kiosks should be able to enhance customer engagement and convey brand messages and product promotions.
Solution
Advantech DS-081 perfectly met customer requirements with its high performance computing system, five-year warranty, ready UL agency approvals, custom BIOS, and turnkey semi-custom computing solution.
Smooth Ordering Experience
Designed in a 19 mm thick, fanless case, the ultra-thin compact signage system can be easily integrated into the kiosk enclosure. The DS-081 provides a high performance computing solution using Intel Core i5 6300U processors and comes integrated with Intel® HD Graphics supporting dual display outputs in UHD/FHD resolutions for double-sided kiosks options. It also supports multiple connections via HDMI, USB, RS232, and audio to integrate external devices such as touchscreens, card readers, receipt printers, and more. The DS-081 features one internal Mini PCIe interface for wireless connection, so the user can create promotions, digital advertising, as well as remotely manage everything in real time. Last but not least, DS-081 is designed to be fanless and cableless, which ensures solid system reliability, easy maintenance, and quiet operation.
