Founded in 1984, Flytech has been fully devoted to being a supplier of premium quality POS systems and is still persisting at the position even when the industry is seeing warning signs of slimming hardware profit margins. Flytech is now coming closer to the front-end market to better understand end user needs, thereby enabling its products to become smarter and create more innovative values.There will be a very interesting exhibit that will deeply impress visitors to COMPUTEX 2015: A panel PC with stainless steel casing that can still operate normally when submerged in a water-filled fish tank. This is meant to demonstrate that the panel PC can operate in harsh environments for industrial automation purposes. This exhibit will be showcased by Flytech, one of the top three POS suppliers worldwide.James Liu, President, Flytech Technology, states that technology advances are bringing rapid changes to the market. The company knows that it still has to hold onto the role as a hardware designer and manufacturer, but it has to come out of the factory toward the front-end market to better understand end user needs and create products that they need. Accordingly, Flytech will work with partners including system and solution providers to carry out its CAMPS strategy (Cloud, big data Analysis, Mobile, Payment, Smart phone devices).Responding to market changes with new CAMPS strategyUnder the fundamental CAMPS strategy, Flytech will launch three lines of value-added products - the mobile POS, PTS (payment terminal solution), and panel PC - this year, all to be showcased at COMPUTEX 2015. Take Panel PC for example. Liu explains the panel PC business is securely holding a 15% share of Flytech operations, and yet its focus was on medical and retail applications in the past. Flytech's panel PCs had little presence in factory automation where there are abundant opportunities, giving rise to future growth. Therefore, Flytech has established dedicated units to oversee the launch of panel PCs suitable for factory control automation environments in hopes to build up momentum for revenue growth.As to mobile POS, Flytech kicked off a strategic alliance with Intel in 2014 to deploy mobile POS based on the Bay Trail T platform supporting both Android and Windows operating systems. Volume shipments started in November 2014. Flytech's POS lines now cover desktop, wall-mounted, ground stand and hand-held models. The advancement in product specs demonstrates Flytech's capabilities and advantages in design innovations, R&D teamwork, management planning, and close cooperation with upstream technology and key components suppliers. In addition, Flytech's economy of scale gives its advantage in price negotiations, so Flytech can put forth competitive new products in timely response to the ever changing market.Regarding PTS, Liu indicates retail channels have always had two independent systems, one being a POS system for managing business flow and the other a payment system for managing cash flow. However, the now popular big data analytics has to collect both business flow and cash flow information in order to make analyses and generate valuable business intelligence. The integration trend is bringing about changes to the end devices. Some suppliers who started as providers of only payment terminals now have begun to offer solutions combining payment and POS functions. Consequently, POS suppliers including Flytech are also following the trend to launch integrated products, which is the motivation behind Flytech's PTS solutions. However, Liu is of the opinion that POS with specialized functions and PTS with integrated features have advantages of their own and will not necessarily replace each other in the future.Flytech is well aware that the design of a payment system has to comply with the EMV security standard, which will take time to undergo a refining process. Therefore, Flytech has established a three-stage development plan. In the first stage, PTS systems being put on the market will connect to payment terminals through Bluetooth technology. PTS systems in the second stage will either connect externally to EMV certified credit card readers or have embedded credit card reading functions. PTS systems in the third stage will have built-in certified card readers. Then, the whole system will still have to undergo EMV certification again, which is estimated to take one year.In summary, Flytech's PTS solution incorporates complete mechanisms including the POS, payment device, printer, barcode scanner, and even cash drawer. The display screen is detachable as a portable tablet to be used as a device combining conveniences for meal orders and payments in a restaurant, for example. Business owners will find this system very compelling.Flytech's CAMPS strategy, despite being extended from its POS theme, actually exceeds the scope of the above-mentioned three product lines in both depth and width to involve cloud and big data analytics operations. Liu reiterates that Flytech maintains its focus on POS design and manufacture and will not compete with customers; but instead it will work with or invest in solutions partners to expand market deployment. Flytech looks forward to future business development and growth.James Liu, President, Flytech Technology, emphasizes Flytech aims to grasp the needs of front-end applications so as to deliver value-added POS solutions that meet market demands through the new CAMPS strategy and close collaboration with upstream technology providers and downstream solution providers.

The industries have been frequently seeing the term "user experience" in recent years. Taiwan, though playing an important role in the global IT industry, has always given people the impression of delivering products with powerful functions and specs but without an admirable interface or application flow. As a result, Taiwan makers are facing challenges from strong competitors in China and Korea in this era of smart devices and IoT. AZUL Design, which founded its business on website construction and graphic design in 2006, sees that user experience and user interface is the deciding factor as to whether a product or brand will be well-received by the market in the smart era and therefore looks to be a pioneer in delivering user experience planning, user interface design, and integrated program design services for brand vendors.Being able to accurately respond to customer needs with robust development and design capabilities, AZUL has made leaps of progress over the years. Multiple global technology leaders including MediaTek, MStar, Philips, AOC, and TPV have chosen AZUL to be a designated partner. AZUL is one of very few firms in the world that can provide customers with design and program development services and is also the most important partner with Qt in the Asia-Pacific region."We were able to observe the trend starting in 2010 that smart devices were beginning to emerge in consumers' lives. However, most of the products, such as smart TV, lacked refined interface designs. Therefore, we decided to apply our years of experience in program development and design to start offering MediaTek interface design and program development services. With the consumer market's growing demand for smart TV, AZUL also expanded the partnership with MediaTek to help develop a smart TV user interface based on a variety of technologies, including Flash and HTML5. TV interfaces therefore could escape from the traditional norms and bring innovative experiences to users," states Alex Hsu, Founder & CTO, AZUL Design.AZUL selected by multiple leading brand vendors, attributing to reliable project flow controlMediaTek was so pleased with the partnership with AZUL that it referred Philips to AZUL. The collaboration with Philips on TV user interface development, beginning in 2011 and continuing for many years, has brought AZUL further opportunities with leading TV makers, AOC and TPV."AZUL's advantages lie in the ability to help customers understand their real needs and turn ideas into feasible projects. We also play a part in coordinating and integrating cooperation among IC design houses, assembly factories, program developers, and UI/UX designers by establishing thorough execution plans and flow control. We ensure projects are delivered on time and product launches stay on schedule. Therefore, AZUL is able to win a good reputation, bringing continuing partnership opportunities with global technology leaders," says Hsu.To allow more brand vendor to see the importance of user interface design, in addition to co-exhibits with Qt, AZUL will also showcase collaborative UI/UX achievements with customers from various industries, including smart TV, water ionizer, video phone, IoT smart vending machine, and smart home device at COMPUTEX 2015.Alex Hsu, Founder & Chief Technology Officer, AZUL Design Photo: Company

During the 2015 Computex exhibition in Taipei's World Trade Center, GIGABYTE will showcase its latest capabilities as a one stop system supplier for IoT companies and professionals. More specifically, this showcase will take the form of a live intelligent vending machine and its backend system, demonstrating GIGABYTE's IoT portfolio ranging from servers to smart terminals.Before the emerging IoT trend, companies involved in the vending machine industry were traditionally limited by the lack of interconnection between their machines dispatched in the field and the management processes of their headquarters. Technical difficulties often prevented operators to manage and control their terminals remotely, which prevented to properly forecast the restocking and maintenance needs of each machine. Such operations had to be planned and performed by physically sending people in the field to read each machine's data, which was obviously a very inefficient and costly way to proceed.Following the observations of this vending industry's needs for improvements and thanks to Intel's push in IoT technology, GIGABYTE has designed a range of products to penetrate this market and bring concrete and ready to deploy solutions to solve the traditional vending machine inefficiencies. This range mainly relies on the four following products:- Server systems based on the Intel Xeon processors E3-1200 v4 product family.- The GB-BXBT-3825 IoT gateway, which provides connectivity between legacy devices and intelligent IoT infrastructures.- The GB-TCV1A vending machine controller and its vending machine API, which provide a level of abstraction allowing vending operators to focus on high level applications, such as user interface.- The GC-SSP Expansion Card for traditional vending machine interfacing.Photo: CompanyIntel Xeon E3-1200 V4 Based Server MotherboardsGIGABYTE will announce its line of server motherboards supporting the new Intel Xeon processors E3-1200 v4 product family in synchronization with Intel during Computex 2015.
