PC Vending Controller Real time controller with PC power

Problem

Vending manufacturers want to use a PC in their vending products to enable improved connectivity and graphical capability but the PC is not good at real time control. Heber have been developing real time control systems for the vending and kiosk industry for many years.

Heber recognised that there was a need for a simple single peripheral controller based on a standard PC communication protocol. This led to the development of the X-Line series which were USB based peripherals to add real time control to the PC. This innovative approach has generated a whole family of products.

Solution

If you want to give your PC based system the capability of real time control then connect a X-Line peripheral. In particular, the X10i which is a USB general purpose controller which has a range of input/outputs on board, cash handling features, on board powerful security, battery backup as well as a wide software library to get your system to market quickly. Heber then went one step further and developed an integrated single board PC solution using the Atom and Gm45 Intel processors combined with real time control and announced the Nucleus product range.

Conclusion

In recognition of the needs of the vending companies Heber has developed a range of PC real time peripherals and well as an integrated PC/Real Time controller. If you are looking at introducing a PC into your Vending product contact Heber to find out more about our range.
