In the fast-paced Food & Beverage (F&B) industry, self-ordering KIOSKs are revolutionizing customer experiences—streamlining orders, reducing wait times, and boosting operational efficiency. At the heart of these smart kiosks is ShareVDI’s Industrial BOX PC—the engine that enables seamless, reliable, and feature-rich self-service interactions.

Why Industrial BOX PC for Self-ordering KIOSKs?

Consumer-grade computers fail to meet the demands of high-traffic KIOSK environments—they lack the durability, connectivity, and continuous performance required. ShareVDI’s Industrial BOX PC solves this with:

  • Rugged, Fanless Design: Ensures silent, dust-resistant operation (critical for clean F&B spaces like cafes and quick-service restaurants)

  • 24/7 Reliability: Engineered for non-stop use, with industrial-grade components and wide voltage support (9–36V DC)

  • Rich Connectivity: Extensive I/O ports to integrate touchscreens, printers, card readers, and more—all essential for self-order workflows

How It Works: Core Functionality & Architecture

The Industrial BOX PC acts as the "brain" of the self-ordering KIOSK, orchestrating hardware and software to deliver a seamless experience:

  • User Interaction Layer: Patrons use the KIOSK's touchscreen to browse menus, customize orders, and initiate payments.

  • Industrial BOX PC Core: Processes user inputs, communicates with peripherals (e.g., printers, card readers), and syncs data with POS or cloud systems.

  • Peripheral Integration: Connects all hardware (displays, scanners, payment terminals) via robust I/O interfaces.

  • Data Sync & Management: Uses LAN or WiFi to link with edge/cloud systems for real-time order tracking and inventory management.

I/O Interfaces: Powering Peripheral Connectivity

The Industrial BOX PC's extensive I/O ports enable flawless integration with all KIOSK peripherals:

  • Display & Video: 2xHDMI + DP ports support dual displays (e.g., one for menu browsing, one for order confirmation).

  • Data & Peripherals: 4xUSB 3.0 + 2xUSB 2.0 ports connect touchscreens, card readers, scanners, and keypads.

  • Serial Communication: 2xRS232 + 2xRS232/RS485 ports integrate legacy devices like receipt printers.

  • Networking: 2xGbE LAN + WiFi/Bluetooth (via mini PCIe module) ensure stable connectivity to POS or cloud systems.
