Developing Unified, Connected, Lightweight Terminals with Multi-Channel, Multi-Collaboration, and Comprehensive Mobility

For a long time, promoting financial innovation and ensuring financial security have been significant issues in the financial technology field. Based on HarmonyOS, Agree Technology is gradually building a new business ecosystem for branch operations with multi-channel, multi-collaboration, and comprehensive mobility through its innovative financial channel business terminals.

Focusing on OpenHarmony, Agree Technology has launched lightweight service terminals for the financial industry, replacing traditional self-service and counter channels, truly achieving ‘All in Pad.’ This new branch ecosystem centres around OpenHarmony tablets, which collaborate with counter bases, branch robots, smart large screens, and other devices to create a new model for branch operations. This approach reduces the disconnect between bank hall services and counter services, providing users with a more intuitive and visually impactful service experience.

Yu Xiongwei, Deputy General Manager of the Research Institute at Agree Technology, stated, ‘We hope that the lightweight service terminals based on HarmonyOS can expand into broader industry service fields, not limited to the financial sector but also including government services, law enforcement, telecommunications, healthcare, and many others, bringing innovative experiences to all external service units.’

Agree Technology’s OpenHarmony smart financial service solution debuted at the China International Financial Expo in July this year. The same year, it collaborated with a state-owned bank and a local commercial bank to initiate the construction of OpenHarmony commercial branch operations. Leveraging OpenHarmony’s capabilities, Agree Technology has broken through traditional financial service interaction models, using innovative financial robots, OpenHarmony large screens, and OpenHarmony series terminal products to achieve multi-terminal unified connectivity. This helps financial services flow more dynamically and, with the support of embodied intelligent capabilities based on large models, entirely constructs a complete ecosystem for financial branches, showcasing immense potential and application prospects across various fields. In the future, Agree Technology will continue to leverage its collaborative advantages with OpenHarmony, actively promote industry applications, and continuously expand into multiple industries and scenarios, exploring the future of interconnectedness with partners.
