"We love these machines. They can mix and match our favorite flavors. The monthly sales are fantastic! We deploy Giada embedded PCs for this solution, and this helps us save costs." Supervisor of Operations.

Skittles® is the leading non-chocolate candy brand globally. To meet the demand for personalized candy selections, Incredivend developed the Skittles® Remix Digital Kiosk. These kiosks are strategically placed in high-traffic locations across the United States, including universities, movie theaters, airports, stadiums, entertainment centers, trampoline parks, casinos, and malls. The kiosks allow Skittles® fans to customize their candy mixes.

Challenge

The kiosks require reliable, cost-effective embedded hardware to operate continuously, 24/7. Any downtime could result in lost sales, so the hardware must be stable, support dual-LAN, and feature auto-power on to ensure minimal interruptions.

Solution

After careful evaluation, Incredivend chose Giada embedded PCs for their Skittles® Remix Digital Kiosks. By June 2024, hundreds of these kiosks have been deployed using the Giada F106D-V model.
