Manufacturing Resources International and Zytronic have partnered to develop an interactive self-service kiosk that meets the demands of drive-thru restaurant operatorss.
The Way2Order Drive-Thru kiosk, developed by MRI, is designed to solve critical challenges surrounding drive-thru self service through the use of a 32-inch Zytouch touchscreen. The outdoor-usable Zytouch touchscreen technology addresses issues such as slow ordering time and order accuracy, and even allows operation with bare or gloved hands.
Zytouch's ultra-durable sensor works with the large, high-brightness LCD and a dynamic user interface, whose software adjusts the position of the graphics, placing the restaurant menu right at drivers' fingertips, whether they are sitting in a tall SUV or a low sports car.
The screen sensitivity feature has enabled MRI to add 6 millimeters of tempered glass at the front of the Way2Order kiosk, for even further protection against any accidental or deliberate damage.
Unlike almost all other touch technologies, PCT sensors have no front-face-active components, which enable system integrators to seal touch displays to IP67/NEMA4 levels, and offer user interfaces that are resistant to scratching, temperature variation and surface contamination, including dust, dirt, rainwater or other substances such as food or cleaning liquids.
In addition to this level of durability, PCT also delivers drift-free operation that requires no periodic recalibration.
