Applications

You know our computers already, though you may not yet realize it. When you get cash at a convenience store ATM, when your bags are ‘sniffed’ going thru the airport, when you get gas at a graphics-enabled gas pump, park or wash your car, it was very possibly an Applied Data Systems computer there driving the flat panel display. For more than ten years, ADS has helped hundreds of OEMs deliver tens of thousands of devices into a dozen or more vertical markets.

8D™ Pay and Go Parking Kiosk

8D had created Cloud 9, a powerful Java-based operating environment that simplifies system testing and reprogramming, and 8D ECO, a compact integrated unit that can be embedded in any remote device. 8D decided to proceed with a RISC-based platform, after realizing the low power, rich I/O parameters needed for this application. Intel’s low-powered RISC-based processors and a large reserve battery enable the stations to run on solar power, separate from both electrical and telephone grids. See how ADS and 8D built this Parking Kiosk.
