[ Case study] ----The Great Success of Carisma


It is great to inform you our great success of Carisma, We got the hundreds order confirm of IT-7000 ( Carisma) from Taiwan Top 1 amusement park.Their choice is Fanless IT7000C6-15

  • IT7000C6-15: 15.1" CARiSMA all-in-one touch system, Fanless Celeron-M 600 with 512K cache


There are only 2 companies were chosen on the short list for final competition. However, Birch actually beaten another with a runway victory by IT7000 CARiSMA all-in-one touch system with the outstanding scores and wining over 95% criteria of their evaluate sheet.


1: Fanless CARiSMA IT7000 system ----

Fanless system is much more stable and durable; "Fan" is one of the most common damaged components of a computer. It is much suitable for Rigid and air-polluted environment; the dust and air-polluted minute solid won't be inhaled into the system to damage the M/B and components.


For your info, Fanless CARiSMA (IT7000C6-15) is bulit with Celeron-M 600 with 512K cache; it is the highest speed Fanless system in the market. However, most Fanless systems in the market are Celeron-M 1.0G without cache. The performance of Celeron-M 600 with 512K cache is much more high performance than that of Celeron-M 1.0G without cache in the popular market

Actually the client tested and demonstrated both companies' systems; however, they found that Birch Fanless IT7000 is much more durable and stable; offering better performance and user friendly than another system.


2: Small foot print design ----

It is common of Kiosk, Bar and Small booth in the amusement park. The cashier space is very precious; the vendors like to have full of marketing items and materials to attract the tourists. Actually they much prefer the small foot print POS system.


Please be informed IT7000 series built-in the smallest compact and the most thin M/B in the word. The M/B is designed by Birch company. It's no doubt that IT7000 is the 15" touch system with smallest base in the market. All of the peripherals including IT7000 can put on the cash drawer directly without additional space


3. State-of-the-art design----

The amusement park like to develop a NEW Image by renewing their automation equipments to offer the High-Tech and Latest technology feeling. The design of IT7000C6-15 is perfect match with their image and decorations.Therefore they chose IT7000, the POS system with Stylish design instead of the traditional Me-too system.


4. Good Support ----

You should know that Birch have active Sales team and Strong Customer engineering team( CE). Birch has good installation bases to support and assure the good technical support( In Taiwan, we have more 5,000 installation bases for POS and restaurants), rather than others box mover without installation and integration experiences. Besides the CE team support, we can offer a very good technical back-up for integration consulting rather than other makers, they are just producer only.


Actually we also have many installations in our local market and worldwide distribution for IT7000 with Celeron-M 1.5G but not as well known as this amusement and theme park project.we have been having lots of project for IT7000 CARiSMA for big projects, We will keep you be informed in the future.
