There are a multitude of business applications such as
Digital Signage
Digital signage is all about targeting your audience with relevant information. Using a network connected digital sign allows you to get your message across effectively with convenience and distinction. Digital signage is used in way-finding, place making, exhibitions, public installations, out-door marketing and advertising activities.
Thin Clients
A thin client, sometimes also called a lean client, is a low-cost, centrally-managed computer without optical drives or expansion slots. As software as a service (SaaS) gains in popularity, it is expected that thin clients and “blade” PCs will replace desktop PCs in many work and education environments.
Point of Sales (POS)
Point of Sales, or POS, evolved from several generations of traditional cash register drawer systems and today consists of integrating PC technology directly into the register. From ordinary retail cash drawer and receipt printing to backend financial management, POS systems are widely used in dining, hotel, entertainment and medical applications.
Kiosks
Kiosks offer a way to reduce labor costs using self-service. A lot of product information, sales and service can be achieved with low cost and non-interrupted supplies. Aside from mutual interactive services, Kiosks can be used for cash billing, ticketing, photo printing and other functions 24 hours a day as a nonstop service.
