Enhancing Betting & Lottery Kiosk Performance and Security with Advantech DS-015 (NVIDIA® Jetson Orin Nano™ / Jetson Orin™ NX)

Executive Summary

A betting and lottery operator sought to modernize its self-service kiosk infrastructure to improve transaction speed, system stability, and security, while enabling real-time AI applications such as facial recognition, fraud detection, and behavior analytics. The operator selected Advantech DS-015, an ultra-slim Edge AI platform powered by NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano / Jetson Orin NX with Super Mode, delivering up to 157 TOPS for on-device inference and responsive, scalable kiosk operations.

Business and Technical Challenges

1. System latency and instability during peak hours High transaction volumes created response delays, longer queues, and occasional instability, directly impacting customer experience and revenue throughput.
2. Insufficient compute for real-time AI workloads Legacy kiosk platforms lacked the headroom to run advanced analytics such as facial recognition, fraud detection, and behavioral monitoring without degrading the user experience. 
3. High operational cost due to limited remote manageability Software updates, troubleshooting, and health monitoring frequently required on-site visits, increasing downtime and maintenance expense across distributed kiosk networks.
4. Elevated security and compliance risk Kiosks process sensitive transactions and personal information, requiring stronger device authentication, tamper resistance, and platform integrity controls than traditional architectures could provide.
5. Space-constrained kiosk cabinets Deployment environments limited the use of larger computing systems and challenged thermal design, installation flexibility, and service access.

Solution: DS-015 as the Standardized Edge AI Platform

The operator adopted DS-015 to unify compute performance, security, and manageability in a compact footprint—supporting a consistent hardware baseline across new and retrofit kiosk builds.

How DS-015 Addressed Key Challenges

2. Enabling real-time AI analytics at the point of service With up to 157 TOPS (INT8) AI compute (module-dependent), DS-015 supports multiple AI workloads concurrently, including:

• Vision-based identity workflows (policy/regulation dependent) 
• Fraud detection and anomaly monitoring
• Customer behavior analytics
• Personalized content delivery and promotion logic The integrated NVIDIA GPU architecture is optimized for parallel processing—supporting computer vision and inference workloads efficiently.

4. Strengthening security posture for regulated environments DS-015 supports a secure deployment foundation through:

• Hardware TPM for protected key/certificate storage
• Secure Boot to help ensure only trusted firmware/OS components load
• Secure remote operations approaches (including OTA processes implemented by the solution stack) to reduce exposure and improve governance

Deployment Overview (Typical Kiosk Integration)

DS-015 was integrated as the kiosk’s primary edge compute node, connecting to:

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book.

• Display/touch interface (4K output supported)
• Vision devices (including GMSL camera support, where applicable)
• Peripherals such as printers, scanners, and payment devices via rich I/O
• Central operations systems via secure remote monitoring and management workflows

Outcomes (Operational Impact)

After standardizing on DS-015, the operator achieved:

• Smoother kiosk responsiveness during high-demand periods through local processing
• Greater functional capability with real-time AI features executed on-device
• Reduced operational burden via remote monitoring and simplified troubleshooting
• Improved security baseline aligned to transaction-driven kiosk requirements
• Faster, cleaner deployments enabled by compact design and flexible mounting
