Self Checkout Computers

Computing Solutions for Self Checkouts

In busy retail spaces, self checkout systems must be robust enough to withstand constant use by the general public. There are two options when it comes to computing power.

The first, and most common option, is to opt for an Industrial Panel PC. As standard these systems feature robust casing, waterproof qualities and toughened glass making them an ideal choice for public use. Such systems are "self contained" making cable management easier.

If criminal damage is a key concern for your application however, you may prefer to opt for an industrial embedded computer (such as an Embedded Box PC) with a separate, robust touchscreen monitor. This option protects the computer from damage by ensuring that it is isolated from the screen. In the event of damage, costs are reduced due to being able to replace the screen separately.

There are advantages to both computing set-ups and it really depends upon your individual project requirements including unit size, necessary ports and power access points, physical constraints such as temperature or shock exposure, and the need for specific peripherals. We can take all of these factors into account to advise you on the best solution for your self checkout roll-out.

Peripherals

Special Considerations for Retail

In addition to providing touchscreen panel PCs or embedded computers with a touchscreen monitor, we can also advise on the integration of peripherals, sensors, bar code scanners, surveillance equipment for security purposes, and AI technology for age verification in relation to purhcasing restricted items. Our team of engineers can advise you on how such devices can be worked into the checkout kiosk or supplied as separate standalone devices.
