Radiant Remote Kitchen
Video
 The
Radiant Kitchen Display System is commonly referred to as the
Kitchen Controller or KDS. The Kitchen Production System is made
up of the kitchen controller, kitchen monitor (flat panel or
CRT), bump bar, and printer (optional).
The KDS is designed to display kitchen order information to a
kitchen monitor. The orders originate from POS input and are
sent to the Kitchen Controller through the 10/100 Mbps network
interface. As each order is completed, the user can “bump” or
delete the order from the queue by using the attached Bump Bar.
Order information can also be printed from each Kitchen
Controller by attaching a printer to the KDS Controller.
Kitchen Controller
The Radiant Kitchen Controller is built on the proven reliable
Intel ARM platform and runs on the Windows CE 5.0 operating
system. Its rugged enclosure offers protection from the extreme
temperature and humidity that are present in the kitchen
environment. The KDS Controller is a solid-state device meaning
that it has no moving parts. The solid-state design greatly
extends the hardware life, as well as increases its reliability.
The Radiant Kitchen Controller offers a very small footprint and
standard VESA mounting options to make it easy to install in
space constrained kitchen stations. The I/O is all located on
the rear panel in order to improve cable management resulting in
a cleaner install. The front panel features four LEDs (Link,
Activity, Power, and, Heartbeat) that can be used to quickly
determine the status of the controller. Also located on the
front panel is a recessed power button which helps prevent
accidental shut downs.
The Kitchen Controller is designed with rubber caps on each end
that help seal the internal components from the outside
environment. The rubber caps also act as feet for the controller
and provide excellent balance so that the Controller can sit on
right / left side or top / bottom without turning over.
Bump Bar
Like the Kitchen Controller, the Bump Bar is also built with a
rugged aluminum enclosure that is resistant to water and other
solvents like cleaning agents. The Bump Bar offers a volume
adjustable, 4-tone piezo that helps place the “beep” closer to
the end user. Each key is programmable to a pre-defined function
list to provide the most flexible solution for each customer’s
operation. As a standard feature, mounting brackets are built
into each side of the enclosure for the Bump Bar.
Expansion Options
Expansion options are available through the use of the Compact
Flash slot and mini-PCI slot. The CF slot can be used for
additional storage. Wireless networking is available as an
upgrade by installing a wireless card in the internal mini-PCI
slot and attaching a wireless antenna to the rear panel. Video
support for the KPS system is offered through the DB-15 analog
connector on the Controller. The screen resolutions supported by
the Controller are 1024x768, 800x600, and 640x480. Digital video
is also available through the optional DVI connector.
Abacus. You can count on us.
