Like the rest of the UTC series, the UTC-720/750 series feature a fanless design that ensures quiet operation and reduces the accumulation of dust and foreign contaminants. To extend the product lifecycle, the front panel is also IP65 rated for protection from water and dust ingress. Additionally, the UTC-720/750 systems are compatible with multiple operating systems, including Windows Embedded 7/8, Windows 10 IoT, and Linux, for easy deployment and integration with existing systems.

Another key advantage of the UTC-720/750 series is their high expandability for diverse applications. In addition to multiple I/O ports, including 2 Gigabit Ethernet, 2 COM, and up to 6 USB ports (4 x USB 2.0 and 2 x USB 3.0), UTC-720/750 systems can be equipped with a wide variety of application-oriented peripherals, such as a thermal printer, 2D barcode scanner, magnetic strip reader, NFC/RFID reader, smart card reader, pin pad, and payment modules integrated into the kiosk chassis or stand. For example, for the UTC-720 single-unit kiosk, the system can be fitted with two 10W speakers and an optional front-facing camera to provide a more immersive multimedia experience. For the UTC-750 modular kiosk, the four sides of the system frame can be equipped with additional UTC series peripherals, including a camera, an iBeacon module, and a fingerprint reader, to further extend the system functionality.With the durability to withstand industrial operations and the expandability to support diverse applications, Advantech’s innovative UTC-720/750 kiosk systems provide the ideal self-service solutions for enhancing customer engagement and increasing brand awareness.
