At 2 a.m., the owner of the unmanned chess and card room, Old Chen, stared at another recent negative review on his phone screen - "When I wanted to renew my membership upon expiration, the page wouldn't load for five minutes! The system just cut off the power and turned off the lights, which was such a poor experience!"
Scrolling down, he saw a barrage of complaints such as "I couldn't open the door with the QR code", "The renewal process is always sluggish", and "The private room was still not powered up even though everyone was already at the door".
The backend showed that the guest in room A03 had been stranded for 15 minutes due to a delayed door-opening signal, while room B12 still hadn't automatically powered off after exceeding the time limit. Old Chen felt his blood pressure soaring.
"Nowadays, opening an unmanned chess and card room, it's easy to make an appointment through a mini-program, but it's hard to guarantee stable execution." Lao Chen smiled bitterly at the monitoring background on his phone, which kept failing to refresh the door lock status. In recent months, the entire unmanned process has frequently fallen through, and the negative reviews on the ticket booking platform have accumulated, almost filling the screen.
The invisible killer of unmanned chess room: the network collapses, and all lose
No front desk, unattended, the unmanned chess room that should be worry-free and profitable has become the biggest source of anxiety for Lao Chen:
The IoT system frequently disconnects! The IoT system is supposed to enable remote control of powering on private rooms, unlocking and locking doors, etc., but it frequently disconnects due to unstable network. Customers who have successfully made reservations through the mini-program cannot open the door due to network delays when they arrive at the store; when people enter the private room, the lights do not turn on, the air conditioning does not work, and the mahjong machine does not respond, all stuck in the power-on process. When it's time to renew the subscription, the smart speaker remains silent; when it's time to power off due to overtime, the system seems to be "disconnected" and still keeps running and lighting up. This fully automated process forces the boss to frequently "put out fires", which not only fails to improve efficiency but also reduces it. The unmanned store has become an "emergency room" that is always on standby.
The network experience is inconsistent! With limited bandwidth on ordinary APs, multiple people accessing the internet simultaneously feels like "thousands of soldiers crossing a single-plank bridge." When guests want to renew their service, the payment page keeps spinning. In the middle of a live broadcast, the screen suddenly freezes. When moving around in a private room, the signal is unstable, and when you walk to the door to answer a phone call, the Wi-Fi may disconnect.
Transit: a counterattack, why not switch to a "fiber optic heart"!
Just as Old Chen was looking at the vacant private rooms and a series of negative reviews about "failed to open, stuck in renewal", and planning to transfer the store, an old classmate who had been doing online maintenance for ten years woke him up: "The core of your unmanned chess room is the automated assembly line of 'booking, opening, renewal, and power off'. The lifeblood is the network! You have to come up with a solution that can completely cure these problems, rejecting stalls, failures, and mistakes!"
Lao Chen slammed the table (almost breaking the mouse) and said, "I'll bet on the last one! If it doesn't work, I'll quit!" His request was very clear:
·Absolutely stable! Customers must be able to scan the code to open the door instantly, and the equipment in the private room must be powered on automatically with zero delay. The renewal payment page must open instantly, and the power-off function must be executed with 100% accuracy when the time limit is exceeded.
·Absolutely secure! Most public security audit platforms must be quickly opened, while monitoring, IoT, and guest Wi-Fi are strictly isolated from each other!
·Remote controllable! The mobile APP can monitor the status of each private room in real time, and handle network issues remotely!
Action: Lao Chen personally supervised the battle and the "fiber optic core" network was launched!
Having experienced enough hardships, Lao Chen was particularly cautious this time. He didn't listen to the sales pitch and only looked at the actual results. He brought testing equipment to a competitor's store and stayed there for a whole day. After a round of "hell-level" practical testing, Lao Chen finally settled on a new generation of all-optical networking solution customized for unmanned chess rooms! He gave this solution a fancy name - "Fiber Heart"!
Why is it? Old Chen summarized four major advantages:
Zero process breakpoints, fully automated business!
The fiber-optic direct connection to the private room ensures a signal that is as stable as an old dog! Wi-Fi switches seamlessly between inside and outside the room. Customers scan the QR code upon arrival, and the door opens with a "beep" sound. The lights, air conditioning, and mahjong machine in the private room start instantly. When the session is about to end, the smart speaker reminds customers to renew their payment on time with clear and uninterrupted voice; once the time is up, the power is automatically cut off without any delay. The entire process is like a green light, smooth and unobstructed, with no human operation, truly achieving "automatic mode"!
Seamless Wi-Fi roaming, no disconnection in the corridor between rooms!
Using dual-band ceiling-mounted APs, there are no dead zones inside and outside the private rooms. Guests can enjoy stable and smooth video streaming and gaming wherever they go, with no lags or glitches throughout the process. Sharing your game results on live broadcast? Instantly successful! From the moment guests enter until they leave, they can enjoy high-quality internet access throughout their stay, maximizing their experience!
Multi-service isolation, security audit in one step!
Employees, guests, IoT devices, and monitoring systems are strictly isolated to ensure the stable operation of the IoT system from the ground up. What's more, Smart Optical Communication has connected to most of the national public security auditing platforms, ensuring quick approval of submitted materials, eliminating the fear of policy bottlenecks!
Remote operation and maintenance, manage with just one click on your phone!
Through the intelligent APP, Lao Chen can remotely check the status of all equipment while lying in bed, and monitor the usage of each room in real time. Problems can be remotely resolved, eliminating the need to run to the store in the middle of the night or wait for a repairman. Truly achieving "unattended operation, managed by people"!
Effect: from "burning the head and rotten the forehead" to "lying down and counting money"
Two months after the "fiber optic core" went online, Lao Chen's chess room changed completely:
The IoT device has zero malfunctions! The door opens instantly with a quick scan, and the power supply to the private room is swiftly established. The smart speaker provides timely and clear reminders, and it shuts off precisely when the time limit is exceeded. The entire process is automated, closed-loop, stable, and reliable, ensuring a seamless guest experience without any noticeable interruptions!
No more complaints about internet issues, and the booking rate for private rooms has reached 100% on weekends and over 80% during weekday evening peak hours!
The approval process is fast, and opening a store is hassle-free! The new branch store passed the public security inspection in three days, and Lao Chen can finally replicate the model quickly!
The best part is that Lao Chen is free! No more having to keep a close eye on the backend 24/7, with the ability to handle app anomalies and remote processing, he can manage three stores at the same time, truly achieving "making money while lying down"!
The business of unmanned chess and card room depends on operation and network
Lao Chen often sighs with his colleagues:
The unmanned chess room is not really "unmanned", but integrates human management into a more intelligent system!
The "fiber optic core" provides me with more than just stability:
It is a satisfactory experience for guests to play cards with peace of mind!
It is the reliable guarantee for IoT devices to never go offline!
It is the policy convenience of public security compliance and fast store opening!
It's the ease of managing three stores while lounging in bed!
A good network is no longer a cost, but the core competitiveness of the unmanned chess room!
Every stable connection enhances the customer experience;
Every security system is designed to mitigate operational risks;
Every remote operation and maintenance saves labor costs!
Don't let the "broken network" hinder your path to making money! Install a reliable "fiber optic core" network and become a smart owner of an unmanned chess and card game shop, sitting back and counting your money. Isn't that appealing?!
