Four-in-One Self-Service Kiosks

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Pyramid's polytouch 32 PE4000 Has a Space-Saving Single Pedestal

With these self-service kiosks, a variety of applications can be carried out, including self-ordering, self-checkout, ticket printing, as well as scanning barcodes and QR codes.
