Embedded Computing Design August 2011 : Page 33Avnet Embedded worked with SAM to source embedded boards, interactive LCD touch screens, and hardware to power the com-pany’s digital postcard kiosks and Lobby EDGE (Elite Digital Guest Experience) kiosks, shown in Figure 1. [Figure 1 | Avnet engineers identified components that would work together effectively to meet the system requirements for SAM’s Lobby EDGE kiosk.] Avnet Embedded was able to meet the demands of SAM in part due to our global integration centers. Avnet currently has five global facilities around the world, with three operating in North America. Each facility is ISO 9001:2000 certified and capable of handling integration needs from PC and server inte-gration to flat-panel display integration, custom enclosures and storage, and display subsystem manufacturing.
