Pyramid Signs Up for Digital Lounge at European Sign Expo 2013
Demonstrates polytouch family of stylish, multi-touch terminals that are easy to use, efficient and highly interactive
Freiburg, Germany, 5 June 2013 – Pyramid Computer GmbH, innovative manufacturer of custom, professional IT solutions, has announced its participation at European Sign Expo 2013, taking place at ExCeL, London, 25-27 June, and is focused on developing a footprint with local resellers and distributors. Visitors to the Digital Lounge (Stand T24N) will see Pyramid’s popular polytouch 22 and 32 CLASSIC terminals, ideal for a wide range of vertical markets such as tourism, transportation, hospitality, public sector and events.
polytouch 22 and polytouch 32 CLASSIC terminals are equipped with modern, light-insensitive, projected capacitive technology. They are capable of detecting 20 simultaneous touches at an ultra-fast 10 millisecond response time while rejecting palms resting on the screen, allowing developers to create the natural, intuitive user experience common to smartphones and tablets. Furthermore, owing to the high precision touch capability, integrated hardware (Intel Core i7-3770S) and vPro remote management, both systems are perfectly suited to replicate popular business processes with high customer satisfaction.
These displays are full HD with an anti-glare coating and share a stylish design with standard pedestal, "Elegance", wall-mount or built-in mounting options to suit different application environments, including room service check-in/check-out, access control, employee self-service, tourist and city information, product promotion and interactive advertising. They are compatible with Windows 7 and Windows 8 as well as Linux. On the polytouch 22 CLASSIC an optional QR-code/barcode scanner and camera are available. The same applies to the polytouch 32 CLASSIC, along with an optional discrete AMD FirePro graphics card (for demanding 3D applications).
New products in the polytouch portfolio, but not on show at European Sign Expo, include the multi-touch point-of-sale (POS) systems – polytouch 22000 POS and 32000 POS. These systems connect to the web to facilitate multi-channel strategies such as cross-selling, product promotion applications and social network integration. Using the patent pending Quick Mounting System (QMS), a range of polytouch extension modules can be added either side of the main display as and when a specific functionality is required. This enables retailers to keep up to date with the latest standards and processes.
The first production units of polytouch 22 CLASSIC are now available with enhanced features. The polytouch chassis has been re-engineered to eliminate all visible screws from the sides and all POS models are now equipped with a receipt printer that can operate at three times the regular print speed. polytouch units have also been developed with a built-in VeriFone PCI/EMV-approved chip and PIN payment terminal as well as integrated near field communication (NFC) payment for cashless payments.
More than 500 polytouch POS systems (as of June 2013) are already in daily use as in-store ordering kiosk terminals by leading retailers such as Tesco, Marks & Spencer and B&Q, among others. In order to expand its distribution network even further, Pyramid is looking for value added distributors and resellers to promote the polytouch CLASSIC range.
