4K Digital Menu Board for Fast Food Restaurant Chains

Digital menu boards have become a trend in the retail and hospitality industries; compared with traditional paper boards, digital ones can constantly change the content and show more eye-catching visual effects to attract more consumers while reducing costs and being more environmentally friendly. Therefore, more and more business owners are turning to digital signage players.

Controlled and managed by an advanced digital signage player, the advertisement can be more impressive than ever; the signage player not only manages the playing but also combines multiple screens into a video wall for more magnificent effects. More than that, with high-performance processing, the signage player can even analyze customer behavior patterns for precision marketing.

Challenges

The customer, MDS, is a well-known information system integrator in Taiwan, specializing in the field of financial automation services.

Solution

DSP500 Axiomtek has proposed its DSP500, a 4K digital signage player powered by the 9th generation Intel® CoreTM processor and featuring three HDMI 2.0 ports to connect up to three displays for video wall and digital menu board applications. To ensure display quality, the player supports EDID (Extended Display Identification Data). Axiomtek also customized the BIOS to enable scheduled auto power-on and default program execution. With built-in Intel vPro® function, the system allows users to monitor, manage, and repair remotely. The signage player features one M.2 Key B 3042 for LTE/4G module and one M.2 Key E 2230 for Wi-Fi/Bluetooth; accordingly, it also provides four antenna connectors to establish Wi-Fi or 4G LTE connections. It has four USB 3.1 ports and one LAN for data transmission. The player supports Windows® 10 IoT and can be wall-mounted and VESA-mounted as optional requests.

To enable retailers to bring AI to their stores, the DSP500 supports the Intel® Movidius™ Myriad X VPU and Intel® Distribution of OpenVINO™ toolkit to meet the diverse needs of computer vision and AI workloads, such as customer analysis and precision marketing.

With the signage player, the fast-food chain is one step closer to digitalization

The compact DSP500 is designed to be easy to install, connect, and manage; therefore, the customer can easily install it on the wall behind the displays and connect via its 4K HDMI ports to display product photos, menus, and special offers to boost the business.
