A8 is a desk-mounted till with two 15.6-inch touch screens on one metal body: the cashier works on the tilted main screen while the customer reads the total, the item list and the payment prompt on the screen facing them. The two screens tilt independently — 0–70° on the operator side, 0–60° on the customer side — so the same unit suits a low coffee counter and a taller restaurant till without a different stand.
Everything a counter normally bolts on is inside the body: an 80 mm or 58 mm thermal printer with auto-cutter, a 5 MP dual-lens camera on the top bar, a front scan window for QR and NFC, and a side slot for magnetic-stripe and IC cards. One power lead, one network cable, no peripheral shelf. The compute behind it is a choice of Intel Celeron J6412, Core i3, Core i5 or Rockchip RK3568, running Windows 10/11 or Android 11/12/13.
A8
Most counters solve the customer-facing problem with a second monitor on a bracket, a customer display on a stalk, or nothing at all and a cashier turning the main screen around. A8 puts both screens on one body and one stand: the operator faces a 15.6-inch panel that tilts up to 70°, and the customer faces a second 15.6-inch panel that tilts up to 60°. The transaction happens once and both people can read it.
The reason to care is queue time. When the customer can see the line items and the total while they are being rung up, the "what did you charge me for" conversation moves from the counter to the screen, and card or QR payment can start before the receipt prints. If your shop only needs one screen, this is more hardware than you need — tell us and we will quote a single-screen terminal instead of selling you the second panel.
The customer display is mounted on the opposite side of the body, not mirrored onto the cashier glass. That means the two people read the same transaction from opposite sides, and neither has to lean over the counter. The customer screen carries the running total, the item list and a payment prompt, which is also where a loyalty message or a QR code goes if your software supports it.
Both panels tilt independently and stay where they are put, so the unit can be set up for a standing counter or a seated one. In practice the customer screen ends up flatter (near 30°) and the operator screen more upright (near 60°) — with the ranges above there is room for both. Tell us the counter height and whether staff stand or sit, and we will suggest the starting angles in the installation note.
Four things that normally live on the counter are built into this chassis. The thermal printer sits behind the front panel with the paper exit below the operator screen, so the receipt comes out where the cashier hands it over. The dual-lens camera is on the top bar, looking at the customer rather than at the ceiling. The QR and NFC window is on the front face at hand height, and the magnetic-stripe and IC reader is a slot on the side.
The value is not the count of modules, it is the cable count and the failure modes you no longer have: no USB printer to be unplugged, no scanner bracket to be knocked out of alignment, no separate card terminal with its own power supply and its own support contract. Send us the payment methods your customers actually use and we will confirm which of the four modules your build needs — they are options, not all standard on every unit.
The printer takes 80 mm or 58 mm rolls and prints at up to 250 mm/s with an auto-cutter option. Those two numbers decide the counter experience more than most of the specification sheet: 80 mm paper gives room for itemised receipts with a logo and a QR code, 58 mm saves space and paper cost where the receipt is a short confirmation, and 250 mm/s means a twenty-line receipt is out in a couple of seconds rather than five.
Paper loading is the part that gets judged by staff rather than by procurement, so it is worth testing on the sample: the mechanism is a drop-in load under the front cover, and the roll diameter your supplier stocks has to match the compartment. Tell us the paper you already buy — width, roll diameter, and whether receipts carry a logo or a fiscal block — and we will confirm the configuration before the order, not after the first jam.
The same chassis is built around four compute options: Intel Celeron J6412 for a lean Windows till, Core i3 or Core i5 where the counter also runs a local database or several browser windows, and Rockchip RK3568 for Android. Memory goes to 16 GB DDR4 and storage to 512 GB SSD, which is enough for the POS application, a product image cache and a few months of local transaction logs.
The operating system is the decision that is hardest to change later. Windows 10/11 suits existing retail and F&B software and peripheral drivers; Android 11/12/13 suits newer tablet-style POS apps and lower hardware cost. Name the software and the version, or better, send the installer and the peripheral list, and we will confirm which combination is known to work instead of letting the integration be discovered on site.
The unit accepts payment through four paths: the front window reads QR codes and NFC taps in about 0.03 s, the side slot takes magnetic-stripe and IC cards, and the dual-lens camera supports face-based payment where the acquirer and the local rules allow it. A cash drawer is not part of this device — if your counter still takes notes and coins, the drawer hangs off the POS software through a port the terminal provides, and that needs confirming against your build.
What the hardware does not include is the payment logic: the acquirer integration, the certification of the payment application and the settlement account are yours or your software partner's, and we will not pretend otherwise. Tell us which methods matter in your market and which acquirer you work with, and we will confirm which modules to fit and which certificates the terminal itself carries.
The 15.6 + 15.6 pair is the headline, but the same body is built in 15, 14, 13.3 and 11.6 inch versions with a matching customer screen. A coffee bar with a 60 cm counter does not want two 15.6-inch panels eating the workspace, and a supermarket till with a full basket flow does not want an 11.6-inch item list.
Resolution on the main panel is 1280 × 800, which is a till resolution rather than a media one: item rows, totals and a payment button are legible at arm's length and the panel costs less than a full-HD unit of the same size. If your software is designed around 1920 × 1080 layouts, say so before ordering — the honest answer may be that a different model is the better fit rather than a resized interface on this one.
The base is a 200 × 200 mm casting with the weight low in the body, which is what keeps a till with two 15.6-inch panels from walking across a polished counter when a customer leans on it. Total height is 405 mm with the screens at working angles — tall enough to read standing, short enough that a seated cashier is not looking up.
Shipping data: 500 × 400 × 530 mm carton, 10 kg gross. That is one unit per carton, which matters when you are costing a rollout of twenty counters — the freight quote is per carton, not per pallet of ten. Tell us the destination and the quantity and the freight estimate comes back with the quotation rather than a week later.
The installations this unit is built for are indoor counters with a person on each side: supermarkets and grocery, coffee and milk-tea shops, fast food and chain restaurants, boutiques, 24/7 convenience stores and pharmacies. In all of them the pattern is the same — the cashier rings up, the customer reads and pays, the receipt prints, the queue moves.
What it is not: an outdoor or semi-outdoor unit, a cash-handling machine, or a self-checkout lane with a bagging scale and a security weight mat. No IP rating and no extended temperature range is claimed for this model, because none was confirmed by the factory. If your project is an unattended outdoor kiosk or a full self-checkout lane, tell us the requirement and we will say plainly whether we can build it or not.
OEM covers the parts a buyer sees: silk-screen logo on the housing, a boot screen with your brand, colour trims, and packaging printed for your channel. ODM goes further into the software side with SDK and API documentation for integrating the terminal into your own system. Every unit is aged in the factory before packing, and the standard warranty on this model is one year.
What does not change with a logo is the platform: the same board options, the same printer mechanism and the same panel. That is deliberate — a custom bezel is a week of work, a custom mainboard is a project. If your volume justifies a hardware change, say so and we will quote it as a development project with its own timeline rather than folding it into a unit price. Send the artwork and the target quantity and we will confirm what is feasible.

Meetneng traces its manufacturing back to 2008, and designs and builds in Shunde, Foshan, Guangdong — the district that supplies much of China's appliance and electronics industry. The plant covers 5,000 m², and the work is not assembled from someone else's boxes: sheet-metal fabrication, board-level integration, system assembly, burn-in and software imaging all happen on the same site. That is why a change to a port layout, a housing or a nameplate can be answered with a date rather than an introduction to a third party.
The product range covers industrial panel PCs, fanless industrial PCs, embedded computers, rugged tablets, industrial displays and commercial self-service terminals — panel-mount, VESA, DIN-rail, desktop and floor-standing formats from one factory. Quality control runs to ISO 9001 with twelve inspection points from incoming components to the final functional test, and the field repair rate is held under 0.5 % — a number that matters more than any single specification on any one of those pages.
Thirty-plus patents are held by the engineering team, covering thermal design, structural details and the interface between the electronics and the enclosure. Units are issued with CE, FCC, LVD and RoHS documentation against the exact bill of materials of the build you order, because changing a radio module or a power supply changes the test scope.
More than 15,000 customers in over 100 countries have bought from us, across industrial automation, energy, medical equipment, security, retail and logistics. Reference accounts include Haier, Gree, BYD, Hikvision, Foxconn and CRRC. Most of those relationships began with a single unit on a single line, which is the pattern we plan for: the first sample has to be right, because the second conversation depends on it.
Trade happens in person as well as over email. We take our own stands at international industrial and electronics fairs — the collage below is our booths across several shows — and the engineers who answer an enquiry are often the ones standing there, so a specification question tends to get an answer on the spot rather than a promise to check. Between shows, buyers come to Shunde to walk the line, sign off a sample and agree packaging. Tell us when you are travelling and we will hold a slot and a sample build for the same week.
OEM and ODM are the default way we work rather than an exception. The engineering team takes a requirement list — CPU or SoC, memory, port count, enclosure, logo, packaging, software image — and returns a configuration and a lead time. The nameplate, boot logo, gift box and manual are the parts most buyers start with, and the SDK or driver documents are released to the account that orders the sample.
Units ship by express and air freight with export documentation and industrial protective packaging; stocked configurations leave within 72 hours and built-to-order units follow the lead time on the quotation. Tell us the application, the destination country and the annual volume, and we will come back with a configuration, a landed-cost estimate and a sample plan.
