PIONEERPOS
touch system has a flexible design capable to fit into various
applications/markets, such as fine dining restaurants, fast food
chains, hospitals, Internet browser, information kiosks,
manufacturing automation, time attendance, and the likes.
1.
Hospitality (food service)
Touchscreen systems have
helped improve productivity and service in the food service
industry. Orders can be entered at a close-by station, and
printed remotely. Drink orders will be printed in the bar area,
while main dish will be printed in the kitchen area. At the end
of the day, the manager can print reports on total sales and
inventory level.
Restaurants or fine dinning are also realizing the benefits of
using the computer to manage their labor scheduling and
inventory. Since counter space is very precious in these
establishments, 14" or 15" CRT monitors are not suitable. LCD
touch systems have become the standard equipment in these places
for order taking and table management.
2.
Information Kiosk
Kiosks offer an
inexpensive way to provide or collect information in public
places, such as shopping malls, airports, museums, or even hotel
lobbies. PIONEERPOS touch system can be setup as a
compact self-help information provider in these public places,
such as listing of available stores and their store numbers in a
shopping mall, or information on available hotels from the
airport, or interactive story teller in a museum. In a hotel
lobby, a PIONEERPOS touch system can be used to promote
places of interest for the tourists.
Large corporation with scattered sites will also benefit from
kiosk technology. Training new employees can be done using an
interactive touchscreen, instead of sending a training staff to
various branch offices.
3.
Internet/Entertainment
Internet access is another market that should take advantage of
the touchscreen technology. A PIONEERPOS touch system can
be setup in the airports or hotel lobbies for travelers to send
or receive e-mails, usually at a small fee charged to their
credit cards. Or they can do shopping in the internet, such as
sending flowers or gifts for their loved ones while they are
away from home. Users of these internet-touchscreen terminals
will touch the appropriate buttons on the screen to surf the
internet. A virtual keyboard will pop-up on the screen where
users can use to type by touching the keys on the screen. A
Cyber cafes or clubs are another venues where PIONEERPOS
touch system will be installed for entertainment purposes, such
as playing games.
4.
Labor Management System
More and more touchscreens are installed in a manufacturing
plant to let employees clock in/out, check for total hours they
have worked or vacation time left, and print various forms like
insurance claim or application for absence. Furthermore, a
PIONEERPOS touch system can used to collect work-in-process
information, such as productivity level on certain production
line, or how many jobs can be done in a given time. Employees
will be able to use touchscreen to check for any messages from
upper management (thru internal e-mail system.). The touchscreen
system is usually tied to the company's main computer system for
payroll processing.
5.
Automated Payment System/Banking
PIONEERPOS touch system can be setup in a bank to serve
as automated teller system. A customer can walk to the system,
swipe his/her bank card, and inquire account information or make
deposits. Customers can also use the system to make payment for
utility bills, such as electricity and telephone bills.
