The other week I went on a cruise down in the Caribbean (which I bragged about in my past 2 cruise blogs, discussing mobile solutions for the cruise’s bar service and mobile stores). The cruise was perfect, I have no complaints… well, except for one. That dreaded line we had to wait in to get…

Posted by Jeremy Miller | Date: June 9, 2014

Last week, I was thinking a lot about Advantech’s recently introduced iDoor Technology…so much, in fact, that it was on my mind as I went to the grocery store. While at the store, I went through the salad bar and it dawned on me. The concept of iDoor Technology is similar to that of a…
