POS Terminal Board for Japan, WF-C3601, AndroidSBC, Berlin
TL;DR: POS Terminal Board for Japan
AndroidSBC logistics desk: FOB Shenzhen and CIF lanes confirmed for checkout counter board orders serving Berlin, Germany. The WF-C3601 smart checkout counter Android motherboard spans the 15.6-inch smart checkout counter terminal and eight sister models (WF-C3600 through WF-A1313), all built on the RK3568 quad-core ARM Cortex-A55 2.0GHz 64-bit SoC with the Mali-G52 2EE GPU and 1 TOPS NPU, 15.6-inch FHD 1920x1080 eDP, and Android 13 firmware support. AndroidSBC, the export arm of Wanlin Manufacturing Group, ships the WF-C family from the Longgang source factory in Shenzhen to Berlin and Germany importers who run smart checkout counter, POS terminal, kiosk, dual-screen cashier, smart retail, and unmanned-store programs.

About AndroidSBC and the Smart Checkout Counter Android Motherboard Family
For Germany importers, AndroidSBC consolidates the WF-C smart checkout counter Android motherboard family into one Shenzhen source-factory channel. Wanlin Manufacturing Group keeps the Rockchip RK3568 8nm and Allwinner A133 22nm platforms under a single BOM family, a single firmware baseline and a single set of CE / FCC / RoHS files. For Germany in particular, retail chains, F and B operators and unmanned-store programme managers can buy Rockchip RK3568 checkout counter boards and Allwinner A133 cashier boards from one Shenzhen factory under a single framework agreement.
WF-C3601 Technical Specifications
| Parameter | AndroidSBC WF-C3601 (15.6-inch smart checkout counter terminal) | Industry Average |
|---|---|---|
| Processor | RK3568 quad-core ARM Cortex-A55 2.0GHz 64-bit SoC | Older 28nm or 40nm quad-core SoC |
| Process node | 8nm low-power | Older 28nm or 40nm process |
| GPU | ARM Mali-G52 2EE | Older Mali-450 or basic GPU |
| NPU / AI | 1 TOPS INT8 NPU | No NPU on competing entry boards |
| Memory | 4GB LPDDR4X | DDR3 1GB / 2GB on competing boards |
| Storage | 32GB eMMC | eMMC 5.0 8GB / 16GB on competing boards |
| Display output | 15.6-inch FHD 1920x1080 eDP | Single HDMI 1080p only on competing boards |
| Touch support | 10-point capacitive touch | Resistive single-touch on competing boards |
| Operating system | Android 13 | Android 8 or Android 9 on competing boards |
| Connectivity | WiFi 6 802.11ax plus Bluetooth 5.0 plus dual Gigabit Ethernet | WiFi 4 plus 10/100M Ethernet on competing boards |
| Payment peripherals | QR code scanner, NFC, barcode scanner, thermal printer, cash drawer | No bundled payment-peripheral driver SDK on competing boards |
| Operating temperature | 0C to 50C | 0C to 40C on competing boards |
All parameters in the table above are measured at 25C ambient. The AndroidSBC WF-C3601 (15.6-inch 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 Germany importers sourcing the WF-C family, the WF-C3601-A variant is the typical configuration for the 15.6-inch countertop checkout terminal use case, with a sustained weekly capacity of 5000 pcs/wk.
Challenges in Sourcing Smart Checkout Counter Android Motherboards for Germany Buyers
For Germany retail and F and B integrators, the recurring pain points on Chinese checkout counter boards are inconsistent PCB revisions, slow peripheral driver updates, and no OTA content management. The WF-C family answers all three with a fixed BOM, a payment peripheral driver SDK and an OTA content stack.
For Germany buyers, the BNetzA conformity pass plus CE marking with BNetzA radio interface registration and the GS mark is the standard compliance anchor for checkout counter boards with WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5.0. The WF-C family from AndroidSBC bundles BNetzA files into the source-factory shipment so Berlin importers do not need a second customs pass. Straight from Wanlin Longgang, a 166900-unit WF-C smart checkout counter Android motherboard lot for Berlin, Germany cleared burn-in and left on the Hamburg - Shenzhen lane on September 15, 2026.
Competitive Comparison: WF-C3601 vs Competing Smart Checkout Counter Android Boards
For smart checkout counter Android motherboard sourcing in Germany, four differentiators separate the WF-C family from competing boards: silicon tier, firmware baseline, peripheral driver support and certification files. AndroidSBC addresses all four:
- vs single-platform 28nm boards: the WF-C family covers both the Rockchip RK3568 8nm premium tier and the Allwinner A133 22nm entry tier out of one Shenzhen source factory.
- vs Cortex-A7 32-bit boards: the WF-C family is quad-core 64-bit throughout, with the RK3568 Cortex-A55 2.0GHz and the A133 Cortex-A53 1.6GHz both on ARMv8.
- vs boards shipped without a peripheral driver SDK: the WF-C family ships with QR code, NFC, barcode scanner, thermal printer, cash drawer and weighing-scale drivers already integrated.
- vs boards without remote fleet tools: the WF-C family ships with OTA content management, remote firmware update and kiosk-mode lockdown out of the box.
