Problem and the idea

A familiar situation for many: as soon as several people in a company have access to equipment, work materials or similar, this often automatically results in things not being put back promptly or properly after use, perhaps even getting lost in the endless expanses of halls or company premises.
An appropriate storage system is therefore essential to ensure security, transparency and availability in the depot area.

A panel PC from spo-comm provides the technical basis for the solution

The STB GmbH product range leaves nothing to be desired. In collaboration with spo-comm GmbH, the WS 8/600 drawer shelving system has been equipped with the fanless SQUARE 15 touch panel PC for user-friendly control and is, if you like, the perfect entry-level model.

Thanks to the specially developed software from STB, the 15-inch touchscreen of the SQUARE 15 gives you an insight into the contents of the Basic cabinet. Authorized users have access to the individual drawers and their compartments via a selection system. The Intel platform of the robust Panel PC with a Dual Core Processor D2550 proves itself particularly through its low power consumption with optimum performance.

Conclusion

The SQUARE 15 – the icing on the cake of the reliable WS 8/600 basic cabinet. Once again, teamwork has more than paid off and customers can now benefit from a convenient and transparent storage system.

Task

In 2015, Virtual Sensitive presented its latest product, the Coconote Slim multi-touch table, for the first time. The successor to the so-called Coconote is characterized above all by its integrated, efficient projector. The Coconote Slim enables a resolution of 1,920 x 1,920p on an LCD screen and is particularly suitable for the interactive digital signage sector thanks to its detailed image output in Full HD. Because performance and power consumption should be balanced, the Coconote Slim requires a mini PC at eye level.

Product solution

The spo-book KUMO III is the ideal solution for high graphic demands. Both a current Core i5 processor from Intel and a high-performance graphics chip powered by nVidia ensure unparalleled performance. The wall bracket of the KUMO III enables easy integration into the Coconote Slim.

Conclusion

Experience presentations and digital signage on a new level. The spo-book KUMO III has once again proven its efficiency and will also be used in future multi-touch tables made by Virtual Sensitive.

Task

They were looking for a suitable mini PC for a measuring station that measures and analyzes the snow water equivalent and the moisture content of the snow 2500 meters above sea level. 

In addition to the constant availability, the challenge was to cope with the limited infrastructure and the extreme climatic conditions prevailing there.

Technical adaptability to extreme conditions was the most important criterion for the scientists at LMU Munich. 

Product / Solution

spo-book MOVE T56N is the name of the system. In addition to approval for ambient temperatures from -30°C to +60°C despite passive cooling, it has a voltage input of 9V to 36V direct current. The voltage transformer, which is optimized for the automotive sector, reliably compensates for temporary irregularities and protects the entire system with an additional fuse. 

Another advantage is the high-quality workmanship of the internal and external plug connections, which do not come loose even when subjected to vibrations or strong thermal differences. 

Conclusion

A mini PC, which was developed for the extraordinary loads in motor vehicles, is also convincing as a measuring station in the high mountains under difficult conditions. So the water content of snow in this region is no secret.

Task

The exhibition concepts of the Salzburg Museum are based on an interplay between the material presence of the object and the corresponding media accompaniment. One thing is certain: the content must take center stage and the presentation technology should remain barely noticeable to visitors. Silent, flat, easy to install and universally applicable were the most important requirements for the hardware. A system, preferably without moving parts, should ensure a high degree of reliability and thus remain “invisible” to visitors and the museum’s technical management.

Product / Solution

Several spo-book models could have fulfilled the requirement, but in order to be able to display sophisticated graphic content, the performance of the system also had to be right. The choice fell on the spo-book WINDBOX III equipped with a solid state disk. The ultra-low-voltage Core2Duo CPU, the fanless and flat design of the system convinced the museum staff after several test installations.

In order to inspire the 800,000 visitors to the museum every year, new presentation options and innovations are constantly being sought. With the spo-book WINDBOX III , a reliable basis for supporting the exhibition concept was found and successfully integrated.

Task

The companies Media Resources and Look Outdoor (USA) were given the task of installing two spectacular outdoor LED displays in the center of Atlanta (Georgia), the largest in North America after New York’s Time Square. Reliability and fail-safe operation were the most important requirements for the overall solution. For space reasons, the “inner workings” should be as small as possible to facilitate the complex installation on site.

Product / Solution

The innovative Vision iQ LED technology from Media Resources, supported by the high-performance graphics power of a spo-book, should ensure the reliable and high-quality display of content. After the successful series of tests, the spo-book NANO ION2 was chosen, which impressed with its strong graphics performance in a small and robust metal housing. Two systems found space in the central control unit, installed between the two – 5.48m x 5.48m and 3.35m x 12.19m – giant displays.

Conclusion

The spo-book NANO ION2 used are still “incredibly useful” for media sources, have the optimum dimensions and are easy to configure. These systems therefore offer an ideal basis for successful international cooperation.

Task

Processing of orders, smooth processes, good organization and all within a short time. Visitors to the Hofbräuhaus are not supposed to notice any of the fuss that goes on behind the scenes – all that matters to them is the excellent service and the traditional Bavarian atmosphere. This also applies to the technical equipment used, such as the POS system. As modern displays and visible MINI PCs would destroy the harmonious image of the guest rooms, it was particularly important to Mr. Sperger, the landlord of the Hofbräuhaus, that as little as possible of the components used should be visible.

Product / Solution

The mini PCs from spo-comm are used as checkout systems behind counters and in service cabinets. The TURO(formerly FLEX), a predecessor of the MINI series, is characterized by its robust design. The low power consumption and the associated manageable heat development also allow installation solutions in small spaces.

Conclusion

The high visitor numbers are a daily challenge for the HB team and ensure that the restaurant is always busy. After five years of continuous operation, the spo-comm systems are characterized in particular by high reliability and dependability. Specifically, there was one failure during this period. Thanks to the booked services, this problem was also solved in a flash.
