display&nbsp;that&nbsp;brings expanded software compatibility to advanced self-service display technology for the food&nbsp;and&nbsp;beverage,&nbsp;retail,&nbsp;travel&nbsp;and&nbsp;healthcare&nbsp;industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The convenience of contactless technology has become critical for businesses to meet consumer demand across various industries and applications, including bill payments, drive-thru, self-ordering, caf\u00e9s and unmanned fitting rooms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe retail landscape is changing&nbsp;based on&nbsp;consumer behaviors and&nbsp;rising demand&nbsp;for contactless&nbsp;and non-cash payment methods,\u201d said&nbsp;Hoon Chung,&nbsp;Executive&nbsp;Vice President of Visual Display Business&nbsp;at Samsung Electronics.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAs this trend accelerates&nbsp;not just in retail but&nbsp;also&nbsp;in&nbsp;the&nbsp;food and beverage, healthcare,&nbsp;travel&nbsp;and other sectors,&nbsp;the Samsung Kiosk is&nbsp;the&nbsp;future-ready solution&nbsp;industries need&nbsp;to&nbsp;respond to&nbsp;global&nbsp;demand.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Powerful&nbsp;Performance, Versatile&nbsp;Applications<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Built on the Windows 10 IoT Enterprise operating system (OS), the KMC-W expands the Samsung Kiosk\u2019s OS compatibility to meet the needs of customers in various business environments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Powered by the 11th Gen Intel Core Processor, it offers high performance computing power and full compatibility with major ordering, point-of-sale and property management system software. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Accordingly, the display comes equipped with various CPU options&nbsp;\u2014&nbsp;including a choice of Intel Celeron 6305E, Core i3 or Core i5 processors&nbsp;\u2014&nbsp;as well as fast 8GB DRAM memory and a 256GB

provides ultra-fast processing and ample storage space to meet evolving industry demands.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Offering more interfaces for third-party peripherals, the KMC-W supports a wide range of use cases across industries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Its extensive integration capabilities enable it to meet the needs of a wide range of businesses, from hotels and airports to convenience stores, restaurants, and pharmacies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Businesses can tailor their Kiosks for various scenarios, including using them as ID\/passport scanners, external cameras, payment terminals, and vending machines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The KMC-W\u2019s compact design and flexible features make it suitable for virtually any business environment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Its flexible installation options, which enable it to be affixed to a countertop, wall mount&nbsp;or a stand that can be positioned anywhere to seamlessly blend in with its surroundings, allow businesses to save time, cost and space without the need for additional construction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Enabling More&nbsp;Personalised Customer Experiences&nbsp;Around the World<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Samsung Kiosk Tizen version, launched in 2021, allows businesses and retailers around the world to optimise the customer journey. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the new Samsung Kiosk Windows version, retailers can enjoy the business advantages of the Kiosk display whether they use Tizen or Windows OS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the Philippines, fast food chain KFC currently uses Samsung Kiosks on Windows OS at 63 locations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Kiosks create an in-store digital experience for KFC customers, enabling them to self-serve and enjoy a more personalised and convenient visit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To continue enhancing its customer experience, the company will install Kiosks at more than 100 additional stores by the end of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>French company LAPEYRE, which manufactures and sells equipment for home kitchens, bathrooms, doors, and windows, has installed Samsung Kiosks operating on Windows OS throughout its stores. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a growing franchise with 126 locations in France and 25 new stores set to open across the country by 2025, the company has partnered with Samsung to digitalise services to boost business and attract new customers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The rollout includes 100 Kiosks to display queue status, 70 Kiosks to support fast self-ordering, and 300 Kiosks for consumers to browse the company\u2019s product catalog and customise their product using configurators on the kiosks, generating more sales and enhancing the customer experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, made-to-order restaurant company Duck Donuts Powered by GRUBBRR is currently utilising Samsung Kiosks based on the Tizen OS. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The company\u2019s rollout enhanced the purchase experience at 30 of its stores across the U.S., improving customer satisfaction and operational efficiency. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With personalised ordering and easy-to-read menus, Duck Donuts was able to strengthen its customer relationships and drive revenue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The KMC-W
