Why is the new development in the new retail industry?

 

Firstly, with the rapid development of society, products are being updated more and more quickly, not only limited to electronic technology products, but also in various industries such as the clothing industry and catering. Then in the new retail can be reflected in 2 points, one is the display of products become less and less, many customers are often running to the new products.

Secondly, it is the product promotion process is not good control, need too much manual involvement, the cost is too high. The emergence of intelligent cloud shelves can solve these two major pain points, intelligent cloud shelves using the latest multimedia information technology, breaking the barrier between online and offline. All the products can be displayed on the intelligent cloud shelves through a variety of ways such as video, pictures, product details.

Through this digital marketing model, customers can see more of the products on display and businesses no longer have to worry about it. Moreover, the smart cloud shelf can play product advertisements, which can directly attract precise traffic to customers. This is more effective than the traditional means of advertising in the retail industry and saves on labour costs.

The emergence of intelligent cloud shelves allows the new retail industry to be more in tune with the changes in the market, and through digital marketing means can help merchants to better complete the product diversion. Therefore, the intelligent display  launched by BVS is indeed a new direction of development for the new retail industry.

What are all the misconceptions about buying an industrial control machine?

Because the market is full of true and false news, so many customers in the purchase of industrial control machine produced a lot of misunderstanding. What are the misconceptions about the purchase of industrial control machines?

First, PCB colour and performance-related 

On the issue of the colour of the PCB, there has been "green than red, red than blue, blue than black" this statement. In fact, this is a big misconception. PCB boards have different colours, the reason is that the colour of the solder resist brushed on top is not the same, and the different colours of the solder resist does not affect the actual performance.

Second, the purchase of all-solid is good

This is also one of the misconceptions, in fact, solid-state capacitors are indeed better than the original electrolytic capacitors in terms of high temperature resistance, but the capacitors are used to protect the stability of the components on the motherboard, the only components that can cause high temperatures on the motherboard is the North Bridge, CPU, graphics cards, in addition to these locations, other locations simply do not need to use solid-state capacitors.

Now when you buy an industrial control motherboard, choose a motherboard with a similar price point to the CPU and graphics card, the price is not too high, and the materials used do not have to be too luxurious to use solid capacitors near the CPU, graphics card near the PCI-E interface, near the memory, other locations such as integrated sound cards, network cards, etc., with solid capacitors is not luxury, a pure waste. 

Third, the CPU, graphics card must be good, the motherboard as long as you can make these pieces light up on it

This is also one of the misconceptions. In general, the set of motherboards to slightly lower than the price of the motherboard with a single display, which is often not only because of the small board type caused by the incidental and chipset performance and power supply design of each interface, especially the number of CPU power supply modules, low-end set of boards basically no more than 6 phases, which causes the high-end U filtering requirements can not be fully achieved, and sometimes even cause the CPU has been running at high temperatures This results in the filtering requirements of the high-end U not being fully met, sometimes even causing the CPU to run at high temperatures all the time. All these consequences have an impact on the life of the machine itself.

The small size of the board is also detrimental to heat dissipation, because the board is small, so the interfaces of the components are designed to be relatively close, like the high-end CPU and high-end graphics cards, they are too close to each other, which will definitely cause poor heat dissipation, coupled with the savings in materials, the double high temperature is even better hardware can not afford.

What are the common applications of IPC in life

 What are the common applications of IPC in life? First of all, according to the title of today's industrial control machine in life what are the common applications, we introduce from the common traffic, medical equipment, community equipment, etc..

First, the industrial control machine is mostly used in banks, industrial intelligent devices and other requirements with high reliability and stability involved in the field.

Second, portable equipment, such as laser tracker, laser scanner, joint arm measuring instrument.

Third, the basic is the industrial site can be embedded into the machine, cabinet or placed on the operating table, do man-machine display operation interface.

Fourth, high-grade community to do family service terminal, to achieve intercom, message, cost query, commodity ordering, household appliances management, temperature and humidity control, etc.

Fifth, medical equipment terminals, digital hospitals do bedside service terminals and outpatient terminals to improve hospital services and management, such as medical imaging, blood analyzers, biological detectors, queuing and number calling systems.

Six, it can be done in banks, shopping malls, hotels, railway stations, buses, underground stations, parks and other public places as media players or query terminals.

Seven, rail transportation, such as traffic supervision system, electronic police system, gate machine, car intelligent system, card crossing capture system.

Eight, unattended intelligent terminals, such as unattended intelligent air purifiers.

How should I troubleshoot embedded motherboards?

 Embedded motherboard is embedded in the device to do control, data processing using the CPU board. Simply put is the brain of the device, embedded into the device will have a relatively strict requirements on the volume, power consumption, so that embedded devices will usually have size, high integration, low power consumption and other characteristics. Regardless of any equipment in the use of the process of inevitable failure. Therefore, how to troubleshoot the embedded motherboard problem?

Firstly, checking the power supply and the components

The role of the power supply is very important, insufficient power, the output voltage and current abnormalities will cause a variety of failures. Therefore, the power supply problem should be ruled out first, and then consider other components.

Secondly, checking the external equipment first, then the main unit

Faults caused by external devices are usually easier to find and eliminate. You can check the various connections of external devices and their own working conditions according to the system error message first; after excluding the causes of external devices, then consider the host computer.

Thirdly, checking the software and the hardware

Embedded motherboard failure, first to exclude the software reasons, and then consider the hardware reasons.

Fourthly, considering the simple failure and the complex failure

Hardware products are not perishable, so when encountering hardware failure, should start from the simplest reasons to check, for example, to determine whether the connection of various cables is normal, a variety of plug-in cards are poor contact, etc.. If the fault persists after inspection, then more complex faults in the mechanical part of the circuit or component can be considered.

When you encounter a fault problem, you need to investigate it step by step in order to find the problem and choose the right solution.

Will mobile payments replace POS machines?

 

In the last two years, mobile payment development is really very fast. We now only need to take a mobile phone to go out, not many people in the cash payment. In this case, many people will think that POS slowly will be replaced by mobile payment, for this view, remember a few years ago the e-commerce industry, many people also said that the e-commerce will replace the entity, but now the entity or still exists.

Let's talk about POS machines, used POS machines know. POS machine consumption amount and diversified consumption, can be converted into consumer power, so that users more like, relative to some large amount of consumption, mobile payment has certain limitations. Today's POS machines, not only can offline card, but also will have a code, loans, finance and other functions.

POS market in 2020, the forecast is the electric signature version of POS, many payment companies have launched their own electric signature POS products, new products listed, is a new opportunity for the industry. POS agents can seize this wave of opportunities, can not miss; times are changing. The industry is upgrading, POS machines are constantly changing from this perspective, POS machines are certainly not replaced by mobile payments.

A lot of people say that e-commerce is late, but now look at the live with the goods, the annual income of millions of countless. Others say that doing POS is also late, the same, the year over a million or even millions of people. They do any industry can not be afraid to suffer, to have the spirit of perseverance, POS agent profits from a steady stream of transactions of profit, the greater your transactions of profit will be higher, this is all needed. The more you trade, the higher the profit will be.

Development Trend of digital signage in 2021

With the continuous development of digital signs, people can get information when shopping, traveling, or queuing. Entertainment, interaction, and fascinating content can be seen everywhere. Numerous possible applications have been accompanied by the development of the past ten years. The success of digital signs began with technical progress and marketing experts, who realized the benefits of poster advertising. As digital signs become more and more dynamic, the relevant markets become more and more active, which makes it more important to know the latest situation of digital signs in time. The following are the most important trends of digital signs in 2022:

Artificial intelligence

In many industries, everyone is talking about artificial intelligence. But what can it do in the field of digital signage? Data analysis is becoming more specific, accurate, and easy to use. The advantage of enterprises is that computers use data streams to specifically control the display according to the input information. The result is: better-integrated marketing activities have freed those employees who had to collect this information.

Personalized

The continuous development of technology not only reflects that products can be produced separately according to customer requirements, but also reflects personalized customer experience. Personalization is the most effective way to create meaningful and related consumer interactions by using technologies such as recognition software and machine vision. Through the integration of technology to ensure better connection, intelligence and response capabilities, the degree of personalization of digital signs is improved. What drives all this is artificial intelligence, which can learn and communicate with people in a unique way. More accurate data processing means a better understanding of users. For example, the self order kiosk can greet customers and prepare useful information and corresponding discounts.

Interactive

Various technologies play a decisive role in the development of digital signs. Touch screens, face recognition software, and NFC is used to increase customer participation and improve user experience. Interactive applications, such as browsing product catalogs and menus, requesting information, or placing orders, can now be implemented without any difficulty. Touch screens are especially important for interactive applications because most people use smartphones or tablets in daily life. The familiar feeling increases the attraction of the content, especially for those who know more about technology. Not only hands are used in interactive applications, but also ears and mouths. Voice control has been used in smartphones and voice assistants for many years and has been applied more and more in the field of digital signage.

Display size

Due to the continuous development of displays and the reduction of related costs, larger and larger screens are entering the market. This trend is moving towards a screen with a screen size of at least 80 inches (up to the video wall). However, screen size reduction is also becoming a trend, and this trend will increase exponentially in the next few years. A famous example is a small display screen attached to the urinal as a supplement to the advertising space. POE (such as POE tablet pc) technology must be mentioned for smaller screens. POE is a process of supplying power to network-compatible devices through network cables. This eliminates the complexity of the previous power supply, and it is difficult to access or interfere with power cables and sockets of power supply units. This technology is seen as a turning point in the application of digital signs because the installation of small displays is greatly simplified.

Media Formats

The content of the public digital signage module becomes more dynamic. Compared with static content, the rapid development benefits from the vigorous development of full HD video. The installed personal computer is becoming smaller and smaller, and its functions are becoming more and more powerful, so it can process larger video files faster. HTML5 applications are becoming more and more popular. Flexible and intelligent digital signs can be combined with high-quality videos to create impressive visual effects. For example, digital signs related to the current weather can be displayed: the video display of the umbrella can be automatically switched on rainy days, and the commercial advertisement of the sunglasses can be automatically switched in the sun.

3D Wayfinding

In order to make it more convenient to visit large city complexes or shopping centers, Road finding is becoming an increasingly common tool. Viewing interactive 3D maps from the first-person perspective enables users to understand the environment faster. Shopping centers, hospitals, museums, art pavilions, and various large buildings will increasingly implement intelligent guidance systems, of which 3D maps have the greatest impact on this development.

Nowadays, compared with traditional advertisements, digital signs are more reliable and easy to access. It is a relatively new technology that is developing rapidly. Emerging technologies and more and more interactive display and viewing systems make digital signs more and more effective. Operators of such devices hope to have more effective communication with target groups in various scenarios (medical treatment, retail, production, education, etc.). With the emergence of new trends, the digital signage industry is expected to continue to grow. All the above development trends should be deepened because no one is willing to fall behind in the competition.

Why self-service terminals are popular with users

Self-service terminals have started to expand rapidly from the banking industry to other fields, and their applications have expanded to a number of industries and fields such as telecommunications, electricity, medical, aviation and retail. Below, we introduce the reasons why self-service terminals are loved by users:

Self-service terminal is a "24-hour self-service" as the design concept of intelligent equipment, self-service terminals are widely used to alleviate the problem of excessive traffic in the business hall and other industries, to make up for the shortage of the original industry business hours, but also to avoid customers in the business hall for the relevant business troubles. Self-service terminals bring easy, convenient and considerate self-service to customers.

In the financial industry customers can use self-service terminals for account enquiries, self-service transfers, statement printing, registration, self-service lost business; in the communications industry customers can enter their phone numbers through self-service terminals, self-service mobile phone stop (re)machine, bill enquiries and printing, bill payment, invoice printing, caller ID, GPRS and other basic services for opening and closing; you can also buy mobile phone cards The self-service terminal can also be used for the purchase of mobile phone cards, password recharge vouchers.

The self-service terminal incorporates most modern technologies to provide customers with seamless integration of dedicated hardware and software components. It has been developed for building distributed self-service payment networks with an integrated robust solution that supports high availability and integrity between different services across multiple organisational boundaries.

Benefits:

A specially designed and integrated flexible declarative programming language that makes it easy to build and deploy any type of business scenario directly within the client user interface, without additional programming and software modification work.

The ability to automatically update software on any number of deployed end nodes without human intervention.

The ability to selectively enable/disable individual or groups of deployed services on end nodes.

Which POS system is better for your business?

The POS system gives you better control over the entire business operation. With the help of a POS system, you know which items you have sold on a daily or monthly basis, how many products are in the warehouse, and how much money you have made. Also, the POS system helps you to keep a better plan for tracking your inventory, analyzing stocks, reports, sales processes, and upcoming demands. In this way, it increases your business efficiency and helps you make more informed business decisions.

With so many point-of-sale systems on the market, choosing the right one for your business is a big task. For choosing the best point-of-sale (POS) system, it’s important to understand what sorts of tools you need for your business to run and grow. Important factors when choosing a POS system:

1. Initial setup cost
2. Payment processing costs and other processing charges
3. POS software price
4. PCI compliance, such as how you process payments, connect your systems, and manage customers’ data securely
5. Ability to store customer data safely
6. Ability to manage inventory management
7. Customer loyalty programs and invoices

Should I get a mini PC or big PC with the same specs?

Make sure they actually have the same specs. Quite often, the actual hard drive or RAM that is put into them will differ quite a bit. You also want to make sure that they have the same “multimedia inputs”, wifi, bluetooth, all of this factors into the price and for some reason, the small PCs have it while the bigger ones don’t.

If you have the space for it, I would just get a bigger PC. It makes it significantly easier to upgrade as you don’t have to think of fitting the new component into the case. It will probably fit.

If you want it to look nice and neat on your desk, then a small PC is better.

Finally, all of this is dependent on the quality of the case. Cases get quite pricey and if you tend to open your computer, that can make a big difference for you.

The small PC for some reason will also (typically) cost more.

What are the disadvantages of a mini PC for a business?

Assuming you mean a USSF or smaller.

There are not many actually, which is why so many are used in business environments.

Others have mentioned the lack of expand ability - so you really need to know WHAT you need when you go out to buy one, as there is little or no scope to add anything afterwards.

If you want to upgrade the graphics, you will have to hope it works with an GPU.

In my mind, for pure business use, you have to carefully consider what CPU to go for; not just for longevity; but because the bigger cpus draw more power and create more heat, so the fans have to work hard to keep it going.

And the fans in these cases have to be small - and that means very noisy when their speed is raped up.

You CAN get small, efficient and quiet Noctua fans, but I don’t know of a system builder using them - they aren’t cheap - and retro fitting isn’t always possible.

There are many mini PCs coming in from China that are basically laptops with no screen, they tend to be a lot quieter, but remember the CPU inside are “m” versions, so are a computationally a lot less powerful than the desktop versions, and so may run out of steam in a couple of years, due to software bloat.

Pick the right one, and it will do the job you want for 10+ years; pick the wrong one and you will be looking to replace it in 2 years.

What is the best mini PC for programming?

The best mini PC for programming is one that ticks all the boxes you care about. Here are some points to consider:

Twice the memory working set so it doesn’t have to swap, and has some over for buffering (I have 32GB) — allow for operating systems and applications to double in size each 3 years;

 SSD for primary disk, HDD for archive / backup;

Best CPU you can afford — if you spend more than 1 second waiting for the computer to respond. Basically you want enough CPU power and cores so it can run your IDE and two copies of the application (development example and auto testing in background);

Enough displays so one display can be your IDE, one can be what the customer normally sees, and optionally a third for reference material; 

[I run two HD screens off the laptop]

Portable if you work in multiple places [I picked the Toshiba Satellite P870 because I wanted 32GB of memory, two disks, and a 17″ screen about the same pixels per inch as the screens I was going to also connect]

A decent keyboard and mouse — I personally use a Logitech K800 keyboard and Performance MX mouse, and take at least the mouse, sometimes the keyboard when I go onsite. Pick what is your own personal preference, and if necessary adjust the sensitivity of the mouse.

 Pick the operating system that you like best for the work you are doing (I prefer Ubuntu LTS linux, and run windows in virtual machines as needed);

[Edited to add peripherals and OpSys at Alex’s suggestion]

The only downsides of having a system that is more powerful that some production systems, are a) that you are much less aware of any accidental inefficiencies and b) with 32Gb of memory my system takes longer to come out of hibernation than it does to boot cold (on linux) because hibernation is a full memory copy, whilst boot isn’t.
