The next generation of Elo's all-in-one and compute engine platforms delivers new levels of interaction, performance and flexibility.

Elo, a global leader in interactive solutions, today announced the launch of the all-new I-Series 5 for Android, I-Series 5 Slate for Android and Backpack 5 products. These next-generation devices mark a significant leap forward for point-of-sale, self-service and industrial applications.

Now in its fifth generation, Elo's Android-powered line has become a trusted platform for everything from self-service kiosks and point-of-sale systems to price checkers, employee time clocks and industrial control systems. The new I-Series 5 and Backpack 5 line build on this legacy with lightning-fast processing, advanced AI capabilities and modern connectivity designed to help businesses meet ever-evolving demands.

The new platform features Android 14 OS, the Qualcomm® QCS6490 processor and Wi-Fi 6E, delivering up to 2.5x faster CPU performance, 4x greater graphics throughput, 10x enhanced AI processing and improved power efficiency for long-term reliability. These performance gains result in smoother interactions, quicker load times and support for the latest Android-based applications across self-service, retail, hospitality and more.

As part of the Elo.AI initiative, a standout feature of the new platform is its integrated AI engine. Powered by the Qualcomm QCS6490 chipset, the system includes a sixth-generation Hexagon™ 770 DSP with a fused AI accelerator capable of 12 trillion operations per second (12 TOPS). This real-time AI processing enables advanced functionality such as computer vision, voice interaction and predictive analytics—supporting use cases like facial authentication, item recognition and customer identification at the edge.

The I-Series 5 line consists of all-in-one computers available in 10-, 15- and 22-inch sizes, each with a 10-point PCAP touchscreen and 8MP webcam—all powered by Android 14 with Google Mobile Services (GMS). They also offer optional Power over Ethernet (PoE) and up to four Edge Connect ports for seamless integration with Elo peripherals.

The I-Series 5 Slate stands out with its slim 20.1-millimeter profile and 15.6-inch HD touchscreen display, making it ideal for deployments like point-of-sale where sleek design and commercial durability are essential.

The Backpack 5 is an Android-powered compute engine that offers an alternative to Elo's all-in-one systems by separating the intelligence from the display. Built on the same architecture as the I-Series 5, the Backpack 5 enables businesses to deploy Elo's Android platform across the lineup of touchscreen monitors ranging from 7 to 65 inches. This flexibility makes it ideal for applications in retail, healthcare, hospitality, kiosks and manufacturing.

The I-Series 5, I-Series 5 Slate and Backpack 5 are all supported by Elo EssentialEdge™, which offers robust development tools, enterprise-grade device management and long lifecycle support to simplify commercial Android deployments at scale. Businesses can seamlessly deploy, provision and manage their devices through EloView®, Elo's award-winning device management and content delivery platform. For added peace of mind, Elo's OS 360 offering provides security updates and life cycle management to keep systems running smoothly over time. The I-Series 5 and I-Series 5 Slate also integrate seamlessly with Elo's point-of-sale stand ecosystem—including newly updated EloPOS Z10, Z20 and Z30 stands—to create sleek, cable-managed installations that enhance the customer experience.

"With I-Series 5, I-Series 5 Slate and Backpack 5, we've taken everything customers love about our commercial Android systems and supercharged it—with next-level performance, integrated AI and even more deployment flexibility," said Craig Witsoe, CEO of Elo. "These new solutions make it easier than ever for our customers to create intelligent, engaging experiences across any environment."
