The
competitors:
The comprehensive Bonator autoControl system can be considered
world-wide as unique, as up to know there is no second manufacturer known, who can prove a
comparable system within his range of products.
There were many attempts
of various companies to copy some system components of the autoControl
system, like e.g. the portable Bonator terminal , and for this purpose
they even tried to convert conventional portable cellular phones, various walkie-talkies
as well standard electronic cabinets into a portable cash register, respectively they put
these objects as dummies into their salesrooms. Such unusable products damage of course
the idea of portable order processing, and are only used to be regarded as innovative,
respectively to close easier a deal with traditional cash registers or PC based POS
software.
Suspicious
features for such offers are:
- No uniform operating system.
- Various manufacuter of hard- and software.
- No spare parts or replacement units are available,
and the seller has also no detailed knowledge of the offered hardware.
- Input of orders into the terminal only possible by 10
number keys, respectively without any direct selection keys.
- Practical application of the terminal only possible
by a permanent radio online link to an external office computer what is very sensitive.
- The possibility to integrate external beverage
dispensers or to control them in accordance with the Bonator fuzzyLogic technology is only
promised, but can not be demonstrated in reality.
EGH-Industries wants to dissociate its technology from such offers, and
reminds once again that the original Bonator is purpose-built towards the requirements of
the hospitality industry and is implemented only in equipment’s which carry as
external sign the trademark BONATOR. |
The copyrighted brand
BONATOR guarantees,
that every offered device is really
equipped with an independent working electronic system, which is specially designed to
handle reliably all the administrative tasks of the hospitality industry,
that wireless data transmission is
applied in an appropriate manner,
that every component works both
independently and also as client within a comprehensive controlling system network.
NOT EVERY
WALKIE-TALKIE
IS A BONATOR !

comparsion chart
Subsequent
features matrix enables you to assess the Bonator technology from your personal point of
view, respectively to compare it with competition products.
You can assign points to the listed features between 1 and 10 depending on importance for
your enterprise (0 for unimportant and 10 for especially important), and also minus points
if any feature seems to be for you even disturbing or missing.
If you divide the purchasing costs of the individual quotations by the underlying total
score you will get a significant comparison index which helps you to find the most
appropriate controlling system for you, as well an indication of the expected
amortization.

The Bonator cash register
firmware was also converted into a PC based Windows program and is integrated in the Cyber-Inn DEMO which you can start from the main menu. As you
can try out the firmware directly on your PC it is not necessary to state its features
here again.
Definition
of firmware and software:
Soft:
weak, non-binding, unsave, flowing, llight.
Firm: steadfast, strong, bonding, secure, hard, permanent.
Firmware:
In electronic engineering the term firmware is interpreted as a program which is burned on
a non volatile memory, and which is used for the organisation of an exactly defined field
of application. A machine-near program code ensures shortest execution times and highest
operation- and data security. Compared with traditional PC-systems the hardware of
firmware controlled machines is usually specially-made, what enables to take also
ergonomic requirements into consideration.
The production of firmware based equipment
requires high research- and development capitals. During the development phase and also
for the production there are competent technicians in the field of electronics, electrical
and mechanical engineering necessary as well specialists of the plastics technology and
experienced toolmakers. Therefore, the development of such products can be classified into
the category of valuable and practical assets and the firmware technology itself as
high-cost technology.
Software:
Programs which are installed on personal computers are usually called software. They are
mainly stored and/or transformed on mechanical disk drives and they can be disturbed in
this hardware environment very easily. Usually the reason for this failures are
incompatible software products and operating systems of various manufacturers which
influence or even disturb the function of a software program.
In the office environment people have learnt to cope with these problems
particularly since they have enough time detect the reasons for the troubles. However
system crashes of PC based POS cash register systems installed in restaurants lead
inevitably to considerable losses. |
