Key Takeaways
- Manufacturers face pressure to deliver reliable self-service technology including terminals and kiosks.
- Modern products require integration of various components beyond just PCB, such as displays, enclosures, and software.
- NOTE Haddenham offers complete product assembly support, including mechanical assembly and systems integration.
- OEMs benefit from a consolidated supply chain, leading to reduced complexity and improved product consistency.
- As demand for self-service technology rises, manufacturers must collaborate with partners who ensure quality and scalability.
As self-service technology becomes an increasingly familiar part of everyday life, manufacturers face growing pressure to deliver reliable, high-quality products at scale. Whether it’s a self-checkout terminal in a supermarket, a ticketing kiosk at a transport hub, a parcel locker, vending machine or information point, customers expect these systems to work flawlessly.
For OEMs, that means managing far more than electronic assemblies alone.
Beyond the PCB
Modern self-service products combine a wide range of components and technologies, including:
- Electronic assemblies and PCBs
- Displays and touchscreens
- Mechanical enclosures and cabinets
- Power supplies and control modules
- Cable assemblies and wire harnesses
- Software and firmware integration
- Compliance, testing and certification requirements
Bringing all these elements together efficiently requires a manufacturing partner with expertise beyond traditional PCB assembly.
