Case Study: Advantech achieves smarter restaurant operations with Microsoft Azure and Windows 10 IoT Enterprise

Bringing IoT to the restaurant industry with intelligent digital signage and analytics

Advantech, a Taiwan-based IoT and automation provider, needed a way to help restaurant chains improve productivity, customer service, and manage menus, prices, and operations across many locations. To address this challenge, Advantech built an intelligent restaurant system using Microsoft Corporation technologies including Azure and Windows 10 IoT Enterprise, with digital signage and connected point-of-sale devices.

Microsoft Corporation’s platform enabled a centralized, cloud-connected solution with real-time analytics, remote menu updates, and synchronized content across digital menu boards and kiosks. The system improved the customer experience with interactive displays and self-service ordering, while giving managers real-time branch performance data and sensor-based insights into traffic and behavior, helping restaurants make faster decisions and operate more efficiently.
