The POS terminals will need to be engineered with P-CAP multi-touch technology to allow any individual to operate the interactive HMIs with ease.

Apart from the functions and extensibilities a kiosk can cope with, the aesthetics plays a significant role in encouraging user interaction. The aesthetic impression influences a passerby’s decision of whether to engage or not. Meanwhile, the devices will be installed either indoor or outdoor, subject to often shock, vibration and water splits, meaning the HMIs should be rugged enough to keep working 24/7. Creating a device combining a stylish look, high performance and excellent durability is essential especially in retail industry.

The HMI should ship with plentiful I/O interfaces to help conquer the challenge of adding to the kiosks multiple external devices such as camera, printer, and more. On the other hand, configurable data collection methods including built-in Barcode Scanner, RFID/ NFC reader, and MSR/ Smart Card Reader help improve the efficiency of data capturing for POS and payment applications in retail stores, coffee shops and restaurants.
