All parameters in the table above are measured at 25C ambient. The AndroidSBC WF-C3603 (face-payment smart checkout counter terminal) maintains its 4K HDMI output plus capacitive touch sampling while running the burn-in test loop, a configuration that competing single-platform boards cannot sustain at 60fps. For United States importers sourcing the WF-C family, the WF-C3603-A variant is the typical configuration for the face-payment checkout terminal use case, with a sustained weekly capacity of 5000 pcs/wk.

Global Smart Checkout Counter / POS Terminal / Kiosk Market Trends

  • Supermarket and convenience-store checkout lanes: WF-C3603 is the usual pick for chain-store procurement.
  • F and B ordering counters and unmanned stores: WF-C3603 plus the entry-tier WF-A1313 sister SKUs form the F and B ordering ladder.
  • Dual-screen cashier desks and smart retail payment: WF-C3603 plus the dual-LVDS and dual-HDMI sister SKUs cover the dual-screen segment.

For United States integrators, supermarkets, F and B counters and dual-screen cashier desks carry the smart checkout counter Android motherboard volume for 2025 and 2026. AndroidSBC ships the WF-C family to international market on a 1-3 day sample lead and a 15-30 day mass-production lead.

WF-C3603 Application Scenarios

The WF-C3603 face-payment smart checkout counter terminal sits inside a nine-variant WF-C smart checkout counter Android motherboard family from AndroidSBC, a Wanlin Manufacturing Group export brand. The WF-C3603-A configuration is the typical build for the face-payment checkout terminal use case, with payment-peripheral driver SDK and OTA content management bundled.

Partnership Models for international market Buyers

For United States integrators, AndroidSBC, a Wanlin Manufacturing Group export brand, runs three partnership tracks on the WF-C family, split across OEM, ODM and distribution.

  • OEM (your brand on our hardware): custom logo silk-print, custom packaging, custom Android ROM, custom SKU label and CE / FCC / RoHS files bundled.
  • ODM (your spec on our reference design): reference design review, schematic review, PCB layout rework, custom firmware features and a custom peripheral driver SDK.
  • Distribution (your channel, our stock): exclusive regional distributor rights, channel rebate, framework agreement with a one-lot-per-month cadence and priority allocation.

For international market integrators, the OEM track usually opens with a 100-piece pilot order and the ODM track with a 500-piece reference design review. The distribution track opens with a framework agreement and a one-lot-per-month cadence.
