Problem:
Interactive kiosk computer terminals embedded in large chess pieces
kept failing.
Solution:
The computer terminals were all built into large wooden replicas of chess
pieces. These computer kiosks are for visitors to learn more about the
museum and to enroll in a variety of free online chess educational programs.
It was determined after a full analysis that the computers were burning out due
to the excess accumulation of heat inside the wooden chess pieces.
R-Squared cut ventilation holes into the chess pieces and placed simple rotating
fans inside each chess piece. Heat damaged computers were replaced by
simple, low cost computer terminals that dynamically connected to an existing
working computer. The single computer provided sufficient processing power
to provide virtual desktops for the remaining six kiosk stations. Since
this implementation, there have been no further failures of kiosk terminals, and
the total cost of the repair was under US$1000.
"R-Squared is a professional,
tightly-run company that never loses its personal touch - I highly recommend
them for all IT issues and projects. These are the good guys."
