POS Workstation

Hardware we designed.
Not hardware we sourced.

The RPi POS PC, the G2 aluminum touch monitor, and the 2×20 VFD customer display — designed by InsightRS, built to run the Insight POS App, and shipped configured in one box.

RPi POS PC

Built on Raspberry Pi 5.
Powered by Linux.

A computer designed for exactly one job — running our POS App. Virtually indestructible: four parts and the official Pi Linux OS, built for this hardware instead of adapted to it — not a repurposed Windows or Android tablet.

RPi POS PC — front panel with antenna, CAM/DISP ports, and the side power button
  • Four parts. Nothing to fail.
    Case, I/O board, compute module, heat sink — that’s the entire computer. Officially Powered by Raspberry Pi™.
  • Linux, not Windows or Android.
    The OS behind millions of mission-critical devices — ideally suited to this one. No licensing fees, no forced reboots mid-shift, no viruses.
  • Support made easy.
    Easily fixed remotely. And a replacement Pi ships with the image pre-loaded.
Every port labelled — nothing proprietary
RPi POS PC rear panel — labelled HDMI0/HDMI1, Power, Status, Ethernet, USB 3.0, Power In, and WiFi antenna
HDMI0 / HDMI1
Dual display output — touch monitor and customer display. Standard HDMI, any compatible display works.
USB 3.0 × 4
Four fast blue USB 3.0 ports — scanner, printer, cash drawer, and more. No proprietary adapters.
Power In (USB-C)
Standard USB-C power — the Pi draws so little a phone charger works. No proprietary brick.
Ethernet
Gigabit ethernet for wired reliability. WiFi antenna included for flexible placement.
WiFi + Bluetooth
Built-in WiFi with external antenna; Bluetooth for peripherals. Both standard.
G2 Touch Monitor

We didn't source a monitor.
We designed one.

Tried other manufacturers, all came up short.

G2 Touch Monitor at a three-quarter angle — Tim's own design, aluminum construction, laminated display
The same monitor from the back with its integrated stand and cable management, beside the 2×20 VFD pole display showing dual pricing
  • 15.6″ wide touch
    A small footprint, leaving space for other peripherals on the counter or cash drawer.
  • Aluminum construction
    Not plastic. Retail is a rough environment — aluminum is durable, premium, and professional.
  • Laminated display
    Glass bonded to the LCD — no air gap, no internal reflection. The same technique Apple uses in iPad displays.
  • Blue LED power button
    On the side, in blue — visible from the front of the counter, not hidden on the back where you can’t find it.
  • Cable management in the stand
    Cables run through the stand, not across the counter. Clean counter, professional appearance.
  • Bright
    At 350 nits, readable under fluorescent lighting, overhead LEDs, even sunlight. Most commodity panels run 200–250.
Customer Display

2×20 VFD pole display.
The format Walmart uses.

A purpose-built VFD customer display — high contrast, wide angle, readable in any lighting. The format the retail industry standardized on for a reason.

2×20 VFD pole display showing dual pricing — TTL CASH and TTL CREDIT
  • Vacuum fluorescent display
    Bright, high-contrast, readable from any angle under any lighting. Unlike LCD that washes out in bright retail environments.
  • 2×20 format — the retail standard
    Two lines, 20 characters. Every major retailer uses this format. Rear-monitor competitors are solving a problem that was already solved.
  • Dual pricing on the display
    When dual pricing is active, both cash and credit prices show simultaneously. The customer sees the difference before they decide how to pay.
