Advantages of VariPOS 715
0 likes973 views
VariPOS is a point-of-sale system with several advantages over competitors: it has a projected capacitive touchscreen that is more durable than resistive screens; an aluminum housing and components that improve heat dissipation and durability; IP66 certification for protection against water and dust; and a thoughtful design that makes components like the hard drive easy to access and replace. The document provides technical details and comparisons to support claims about VariPOS's specifications, performance, and design advantages.
Advantages of VariPOS 715
- 1. WHY VARIPOS? Tuesday, March 19, 13
- 2. SPECS OF VARIPOS Intels Pineview D525 CPU with 1MB of L2 Cache 15 True Flat Panel with Projected Capacitive Technology & Dual-Touch Function Stylish Design of Elegant Aluminum Alloy Housing Matching 7" Second Display and Customer Display (VFD) Aluminum Base with Adjustable Angle IP66 Certi鍖ed by SGS (Front Panel) Integrated MSR, iButton, RFID, and Fingerprint Reader Tuesday, March 19, 13

- 4. TOUCH PANEL Projected Capacitive Touch Panel vs Resistive Touch Panel VariPOS is equipped with the latest touch technology the world has to offer, the projected Capacitive Touch (PCT)Technology. Same as Apples iPhone and iPad device that brought this technology famous. We were the 鍖rst manufacture in the POS industry to introduce this touch technology to the market where the others are hesitated on doing so due to cost reasons and stayed with the traditional Resistive Touch (RT) Technology. The top layer of the PCT panel is made out of glass (1.8 mm/0.07). Where as the top layer of the RT panel is made out of a thin layer of plastic 鍖lm (< 0.2 mm/0.007). The PCT is not prone to scratch and the RT does. RT panels can be easily damaged by 鍖nger nail or pen cap over a period of usage. PCT does not have this problem. Hence, the durability is unmatched.

- 5. TOUCH PANEL Statistical Data of Projected Capacitive Touch Panel It can withstand 100 million times of 鍖nger press. 10 times more durable than resistive touch panel. It can withstand the impact of a 25mm (1) diameter steel ball weighted at 67 gram (2.4 oz) being dropped at 30 cm (1) above the PCT panel. It can withstand a static load of 5000 gram (11 lb). It can withstand a 7H hardness pencil with 750 gram (1.7 lb) of force at 45 degree angle. The above lab tests are all far superior than traditional resistive touch panel! Tuesday, March 19, 13
- 6. HOUSING MATERIAL Aluminum Housing vs Plastic Housing VariPOS is designed with aluminum die-cast to house the product. It not only works as heat sink and help dissipate the heat produced by the CPU, it also look and feel robust and elegant compare to the traditional plastic housing. Imagine the cooling fan is down and theres no alternate to release the heat trapped inside, it will kill the system in an instant. Tuesday, March 19, 13
- 7. MECHANICAL QUALITY IP66 Certi鍖ed by SGS vs Non Certi鍖ed VariPOS is well mechanically designed that it actually receives the certi鍖cation for meeting the IP66 requirement from SGS. This is not a self-claimed IP rating as some maker in the industry are doing. Even with self claimed IP rating, they would not claim a rating higher than IP65, which is a level lower. Most products in the market now will not meet the water and dust proof and do not claim to be able to meet it as well. By having the IP rated VariPOS, you can avoid the water or juice that accidentally spilled on the screen from entering the gap and damaging the system. Tuesday, March 19, 13
- 8. SCREEN DESIGN Bezeless Deign vs Bezel Design VariPOS screen is designed to be without bezel. This will eliminate the chances of dust and grease being trapped at the gap of the bezel and be dif鍖cult to clean. This can be a place the bacteria can grow. This is something Im sure all restaurant owners would like to avoid. Having a bezeless design would take this variable out of the play completely. The screen can be easily clean everyday by wiping with a damped mop. Since the touch panel is made out of glass, a diluted detergent can be spray on and wipe off to clean if necessary.

- 9. MAGNETIC CARD READER DESIGN AND MATERIAL Aluminum MSR vs Plastic MSR VariPOS is integrated with magnetic card reader (MSR) thats made out of aluminum also to match its body structure. Although this MSR is 鍖xed to the main body by a single screw only, but this screw is actually strong enough to hold the entire VariPOS up if you were to lift it from the MSR. The traditional plastic MSR has a tendency of breaking from the body of the POS when cashier rest its hand and some body weight on it. This could be a potential dangerous working environment for the employee. Having VariPOS will again take this problem out of the play. Tuesday, March 19, 13
- 10. CABLE MANAGEMENT Organized vs Messy VariPOS was designed to achieve excellent cable management as we cant see a product being called graceful and elegant with cables exposed and unorganized. VariPOS was designed to have the I/O ports facing up to allow the installation and maintenance personnel easy access to plug and strap the cables in place with the cable holder provided. Once the cables are in place, simply lay it into the neck of the stand and ultimately to the base of the VariPOS, which can be easily pull beneath the table to achieve a neat cashier environment.

- 11. HARDDRIVE PLACEMENT Thoughtful vs Conventional VariPOS harddrive (HDD) placement were designed with reasons. HDD is typically the weakest link of the whole system. So replacing a HDD from a conventionally designed product will take a lot of effort and tools. Typically would have to strip the product down to its electrical compartment. With the VariPOS, theres no such thing. The HDD is conveniently placed under the I/O cover, which can be remove easily with bare hands. Theres only one screws the engineer will have to tackle with to replace the bad HDD. Another reason of having the HDD out of the electrical compartment is because HDD is not good around high temperature. By locating the HDD away from the heat source, the entire VariPOS will be able to operate at a higher ambient. Tuesday, March 19, 13
- 12. INDUSTRIAL DESIGN Aesthetic vs Plain VariPOS was designed with aesthetic industrial design in mind. This is not an easy task considering putting all this electrical components into such a compact space. The POS out in the market now is typically about 25% ~ 65% thicker and bulkier in size than VariPOS. Im sure the sleek yet graceful and elegant design of VariPOS will 鍖t most retail shops and restaurants much better. Tuesday, March 19, 13
