Power Counter: Overview & Versions

📋 Overview

• Power Counter: Mashgin's countertop self-checkout unit, designed for locations where staff assist customers from the other side of the counter.

• It uses the same camera-based item recognition as the Mashgin kiosk in a compact, counter-mounted form factor.

 

🧩 Key Components

• Base Board — the "Place Items Here" scan surface where customers set their items. A magnetic Base Board Cover sits on top (no screws required).

• Camera Arms (x2) — mounted on either side of the base; these house the cameras that recognize items.

• Side UX – Main — a 15.6-inch touchscreen display and stand that houses the main computer.

• Side UX – Secondary — a second 15.6-inch display and stand (no computer inside).

🧱 Configurations & Versions

Side UX placement options

• Attached (Two Screens)— the two display halves slide together into a single unit. They fit loosely by design and do not require fastening to each other.
• The second screen is for staff to assist customers.

• Unattached (Single Screen) — the displays sit apart, connected with the included extension cables.

💡 Good to Know

• Sound plays through only one of the two displays — this is expected behavior.

• Indicator lights are built into the base, the camera arms, and the displays — no separate indicator light needs to be installed.
