Self-service kiosk hardware: the key to success

Beyond a user-friendly interface, a successful self-service kiosk relies on robust kiosk hardware, with a Panel PC sitting at its core. In this article, we will explore the role of Panel PCs in self-service kiosk solutions and highlight 5 key benefits.

The role of Panel PCs

A Panel PC is an all-in-one device that integrates a touchscreen display with essential computing components. It serves at the core of a self-service kiosk for several key reasons:

  • Processing power:  Panel PCs provide the central processing unit (CPU) and memory, enabling a self-service kiosk to run software applications.
  • Compact design: Panel PCs are designed to be slim and lightweight, making them ideal for space-saving integration within kiosk hardware. The built-in touchscreen display eliminates the need for separate components, simplifying the kiosk design.
  • Versatility: Panel PCs come with various I/O ports, allowing for connection to a wide range of add-on devices such as NFC scanners, cameras, LED bars, barcode scanners, and payment terminals. This flexibility enables kiosks to perform a variety of self-service tasks.

In essence, the Panel PC acts as the brain of the self-service kiosk. It manages all the processing, displays information, and interacts with peripheral devices to deliver a smooth user experience.
