The difference between the terminal and advertising machine

What's the difference between advertising machine and terminal? We can distinguish from the manufacturing and usage. 1. Advertising the structure of the machine itself is relatively simple, and the machine shell is relatively uniform, not much difference. Buy ready-made shell sheath material can be assembled into a machine, timeliness is not too strong, so advertising machine is very competitive. Market homogeneity is serious, because no one has spent too much manpower and material resources and financial resources to change advertising machine novel style. Even if there is a powerful manufacturers to innovate, in this era of highly informationization, it will soon become routine and marketization, resulting in advertising machine mixing quality on the market. Touch gets to 2. Compared with the advertising machine, self-service terminal industry products is very complex, integrated with many function modules, such as touch display module, advertising screen, id card recognition module, thermal printers, card reader, keyboard password, A4 laser printers, stylus printer invoice, cameras, fingerprint identification, qr code scanning module, card machine, uninterruptible power supply, etc. If no skilled artist, a high level of structural engineers and professional kiosks assembly technician, manufacturers are still hard to create high quality terminal. 3. Advertising machine and the terminals are quite different from the manufacturing cost. Advertising machine features a single, simple structure, can produce quantitative inventory, production cycle is short, which determines its price can be better; Kiosks, however, the appearance of the structure is relatively complex, generally belong to custom products. Production cycle is long, the function modules of brand model are also quite different. For example, a printer, international brands and domestic brands in general price difference is very big. Is the biggest difference between thousands of cost gap, paper receiver, the brand enjoys a good reputation in the industry and kiosks. Their complex structure, high spraying process requirement, sheet metal process requirement of the factory will be higher, so the differences between the shell is very large. 4. From the perspective of the use environment of the machine, advertising machine and terminal also has the very big difference; Today, the use of advertising machine is very popular. Basically, we can see them wherever they go, for example, in a public place: airport, station, supermarket, cinema, office building, etc. The machine is mainly used for commercial purposes, so the performance requirements is not high. Kiosks, by contrast, customer base, the machine is basically used in hospitals, Banks, government agencies, cinema, scenic spots and hotels, and the machine is mainly used for convenient service to improve the work efficiency. These clients practical and efficient, requires a high degree of the quality of appearance and configuration. Basically, they need powerful enterprise supplier to supply.
