At present, the hardware structure of the cash register and the Kiosk are not much different. They are all based on a liquid crystal computer (Panel PC) with touch function, which is also the main product of industrial computer manufacturers. Of course, some vendors with higher integration capabilities may only need an industrial board to construct the required system, but this is only a minority. As for the digital signage, IPC vendors usually only provide players, system integrators. Select the screen and assemble it according to your needs.
Although the basic core is a touch-enabled LCD PC, the system architecture varies with the application. POS becomes a symbol of a POS machine, not a synonym for a device. Any device that provides information or services should be classified as such. Under the umbrella of the endpoint service equipment, it is mainly divided into three types of equipment: POS machine for checkout, KIOSK (multimedia information station), and digital signage. The cash register is compared with the Kiosk device. The difference is mainly the following two points:
1, the user
The cash register users are mostly trained clerk, the main function is checkout, ordering, and Kiosk is faced with the unspecified general public, usually used for information inquiry, commodity ticket trading, etc.
2, peripheral equipment
The peripheral equipment of the cash register is mainly a cash box and a receipt printer, and the Kiosk peripheral equipment changes a lot and there is no certain standard. Because the Kiosk is a highly customized device, the peripheral device must be selected according to the application type.
In the age of consumers, service is the key to attracting customers. In addition to well-trained professionals, self-service equipment is also a good choice for companies to improve service quality.
At present, countries such as Europe, the United States and Japan are quite mature in the application of endpoint service devices such as cash registers and Kiosks. However, China does not. Although there are many hardware equipment suppliers, the use of enterprises is not enough for the service, and the budget is limited. The market for self-service devices is still to be developed. One day, the domestic Kiosk market will mature, and people will enjoy the convenience of Kiosk.
