Retail cashier touch screen computer

The retail cash register touch screen computer is an integrated commercial computing terminal tailored for retail and catering businesses (commonly known as POS all-in-one machine in the industry). It highly integrates the computing host, touch screen, printing module and payment peripheral interface into a compact body. Its core mission is to be an operation hub responsible for the transaction settlement, inventory control and customer interaction of stores.

🏪  Product characteristics: close to the retail operation rhythm

The core constraints of the retail scenario focus on three dimensions: the stable pressure of peak passenger flow, the ultimate use of counter space, and the flexible adaptation of peripheral expansion. Each design of touch screen computers for retail cash registers is based on these rigid needs.

High reliability and commercial protection

Retail equipment needs to withstand a long period of uninterrupted operation, while dealing with daily operational risks such as accidental collision and liquid splash. The front screen of mainstream products has passed IK08 anti-collision and IP65 dust-proof and waterproof certification, which can effectively resist collision damage and liquid erosion, significantly reducing maintenance frequency and cost. Some models adopt fanless heat dissipation design, which completely eliminates the hidden trouble of mechanical failure, especially suitable for supermarkets and convenience stores with more dust. In terms of power supply, anti loosening power interface can be customized to prevent transaction interruption and data loss caused by accidental power failure.

Dual screen display and customer interaction

Dual screen configuration has become the mainstream trend of retail cash registers. The main screen is used by the cashier for daily operation, and the customer's secondary screen (usually 10.1 to 15.6 inches) displays the consumption details in real time. In the idle time, promotional ads can be circularly placed, realizing the parallel promotion of cashier and marketing. The customer screen support angle is adjustable, so that customers can check transaction information comfortably and enhance consumer trust. Some models are equipped with 15.6 inch 1920 × 1080 ten point capacitive touch screen on the main screen and guest display, and built-in 80mm thermal printer, with a printing speed of 200mm/s, giving consideration to both display quality and order delivery efficiency.

Rich peripheral interface and expansion flexibility

In the retail cash register scene, multiple peripherals such as code scanning gun, cash box, card reader and electronic scale should be connected at the same time. Typical models are equipped with four serial ports (covering DB9 and RJ50, supporting 5V/12V power supply), five USB ports, one network port and one cash box control port, which can synchronously drive two cash boxes. The screen supports 10 point PCAP multi-point touch, which is responsive, and can customize the suspension touch mode, so it can be operated smoothly even when wearing gloves. The screen surface can also be equipped with AG anti glare and AF anti fingerprint coating to reduce the interference of ambient light and keep the screen clean.

Flexible system platform and processing performance

Retail cashier terminals are generally compatible with Android and Windows dual systems, and are equipped with Intel J6412 (x86 architecture) or MediaTek MT8390 (Android architecture) processors, which can be flexibly switched according to business forms, giving consideration to the instant response of lightweight operations and the complete compatibility of professional retail software. Some high-performance models have introduced edge AI computing power, equipped with 6nm eight core processors and 10 TOPS NPUs, which can support intelligent applications such as commodity visual recognition, customer behavior analysis and face brushing payment.

Compact body and diversified installation

The cash register space is expensive, and the equipment needs to release the maximum functional value within the minimum area. Some models have a built-in ticket changing printer in the 10.1 inch slim body. The overall size is equivalent to that of ordinary tablet computers, which is very suitable for convenience stores and small stores with tight counter space. The installation mode supports desktop display, wall hanging, embedded and other forms, flexibly adapting to the spatial pattern of different stores.

🏪  Typical application scenarios

Supermarkets and hypermarkets

The supermarket cashier channel needs to maintain stable operation under the pressure of continuous high passenger flow. The main screen of the dual screen cashier terminal is responsible for fast code scanning and settlement, and the guest screen displays the consumption details and advertising content synchronously. It cooperates with the high-speed thermal printer and the multi-channel peripheral interface to realize the one-stop operation of cashier, weighing and payment. Some solutions also support the combination of classic cash registers and mobile cash registers - handheld devices can be called to complete code scanning and payment for customers at any location in the store during peak hours, effectively easing queue congestion.

Convenience stores and small stores

The compact counter space of the convenience store puts forward higher requirements for the miniaturization and functional integration of the equipment. The compact 10.1 inch cashier terminal can integrate printing, code scanning and touch operation in a limited counter, and is widely used in coffee shops, convenience stores, pharmacies and other businesses. The models supporting the Windows cashier system can be one-stop adapted to the composite needs of purchase, sales and inventory, member management and cashier settlement.

Catering and tea stores

The catering scene has a clear appeal for the full link of ordering → production → food delivery → cashier. The cashier touch screen computer can be linked with KDS (kitchen display system) in real time, and the order will be synchronized to the back kitchen immediately after the front desk finishes the order. Fast food and tea stores can also be equipped with self-service ordering terminals and handheld POS to relieve the pressure of queuing at the counter and improve the efficiency of platform turning. The guest screen broadcasts new product recommendation and promotion activities in turn during the idle time to continuously enable the store marketing.

Self service cashier and self-service retail

Self service settlement terminals integrating AI commodity identification capabilities are accelerating to penetrate into supermarkets and convenience stores. The cashier terminal equipped with NPU can complete commodity image recognition and payment processing locally, support face swiping payment and self-service code scanning settlement, effectively streamline human resource allocation and optimize the settlement experience in peak hours.
