Introduction

The advertising machines of Starbucks in South Korea are usually placed at the entrance of the stores or the parking lot. They mainly adopt the vertical advertising machines, which are used to display new products and menus. The machines are also convenient for customers to order coffee. However, the space inside the advertising machines is limited, which requires small and light embedded computers. The machines also need to work continuously in the semi-outdoor environment for a long time.

Requirements

• Stand for long hour operation
• Compact, light and suitable for semi-outdoor environment
• High-performance and low maintenance cost
