Potential Use Case Scenarios

Embedded touch PCs are nowadays found everywhere: in shopping centers, shops, commercial settings, and even residences. Here are the reasons why these Embedded Touch Screen PCs are being so popular, and where they can be used:

In retail stores, it is frequent to find wall-mounted Embedded PCs, or integrated into a kiosk. As such, these PCs will mainly help your customers check your inventory and explore your available products without having to ask a clerk. Doing so will help you increase your customers' loyalty and your own productivity. It will also boost your revenues, as these touch devices help increase a store’s attractivity to passers-by while helping you cut costs on staff expenses. Indeed, a lot of tasks that needed to be done by a clerk in the absence of touch screens can now be achieved by these interactive devices. What is more, Embedded PC devices will enhance customer interactions with your brand, as it may be seen as simpler for some of them to “interact” with a touch device than it is with an attendant. All in all, customer experience is also improved.

One use case that people may not necessarily think about is gymnasiums. To check into a gym or fitness center, people usually need to log in using a touch device located at the entrance. Most of the time, these touch devices turn out to be Embedded Touch PCs.

In shopping centers, Embedded Touch PCs are used in three different ways. The first one is as a support to show available or discounted products. The second is to launch advertising campaigns. The third one, finally, is to better track store inventory.

In the entertainment field, it is possible to use Embedded Touch PCs to power digital signage, turning them at the same time into interactive displays with the touch technology of our Embedded PCs. Faytech Embedded Touch PCs are available in a broad range of sizes (7”, 10”, 10.1”, 13.3”, 15”, 15.6”, 17”, 19”, 21.5”, 24”, 27”, and 32”), making it possible to integrate them in any kind of digital signage systems, from the smallest to the most massive ones.

When it comes to education, it is more and more frequent to find Embedded Touch Screen PCs in High Schools, colleges, and universities. In those educational settings, Embedded PC systems are used for activities such as room reservations, class registration, voting for students’ representatives, and much more.

In exhibitions and trade fairs, Embedded touch PCs are used to conduct marketing campaigns, display product features, and, more generally, enhance sales.

Embedded Touch PCs are also becoming more and more popular in fast food and restaurant chains. Instead of traditional menus, it is now possible to visualize and order dishes using an Embedded PC, which is beneficial not only for the customers but also for managers, as it allows attendants to focus on other tasks.

In short, Embedded Touch PCs are mainly popular in industries competing in the Business to Customers (B2C) sector. Such industries will benefit the most from the interactive features of Faytech Embedded PCs.

On top of these common commercial uses, Faytech Embedded Touchscreen PC can also be used in industrial and consumer vehicles, airplanes, jets, and even boats.

In home automation, it is possible to use such computers to control temperature and lights; and as part of a surveillance, security, or Audiovisual technology (A/V) system. Far from being inappropriate for industrial uses, these displays are more frequently found in factories, manufacturing plants, as well as in the medical and scientific fields.

Embedded PCs have been on the market for a long time already. They were first found in digital cameras, automats, copying and printing machines, calculating machines, game consoles, and electrical appliances such as fridges and microwave ovens. The unique difference brought by Faytech NA is the touch technology added to these Embedded PCs, which makes them suitable for industrial, commercial, and consumer-end applications.

Faytech Embedded Touch PCs come as a ready-to-use device to embed into your application. The touch screen, display panel, and mainboards are integrated, with the appropriate mechanical chassis, connectors, and electronic power. It is then up to the customer to pick the screen size which is the most appropriate for his intended use case. Worth noting, any customization is possible, such as adding a rugged enclosure for use in industrial automation, marine, or aerospace.

There are nowadays plenty of industries that can benefit from Embedded Touch technology. Following are some use case scenarios for which Faytech Embedded Touch PCs can be used:

Faytech Embedded PCs are a perfect choice for industrial applications. The devices are built for 24/7 operation, are IP65 waterproof patented with silicon seal, an optically bonded touch panel that provides resistance to dust particles, and a 1.1mm cover glass with 7H surface hardness, which allows them to handle vibrations and shocks. On top of that, all the computers have VESA 75 or VESA 100 screw patterns on the rear, while the bigger models (13.3” to 27”) feature a desktop stand. This makes them easy to mount on walls, onto cabinet doors, or on the production floor. Regarding operating temperature, Faytech Embedded Touch PCs can be used in temperatures ranging from -10°C to +60°C without overheating.

In taxis and high-end cars, these Embedded Touch PCs can be used for infotainment ends. They improve the passenger experience and can at the same time help enhance the driver’s concentration.

Another in-vehicle application can be found with farm and heavy machinery, for instance in the construction field, where Embedded Touch PCs are commonly used as these computers are designed to do one task repeatedly, for a long period of time, and reliably.

Faytech Embedded touch PCs would also be a great addition to any line of fitness training equipment. They can be used for infotainments while the user is exercising, allowing him to watch videos, browse the internet, or even social media. Added to a treadmill or a home trainer, these embedded touch PCs can project images of landscapes or sceneries to enhance the overall experience, as if the user was truly running or cycling outside! Of course, such Embedded Touch PCs can also be used to display more classic information about the training session, such as the user’s heart rate, average speed, and much more.
