SmartClaw.app
Real claw machines, run from your phone — and from a dashboard, anywhere.
What it is
A connected arcade platform that brings physical claw machines online. Players play remotely from a mobile app. Operators manage their entire fleet from a single dashboard. Cashless payments work without anyone touching a coin.
The complexity
- Bridges three worlds at once — physical hardware on the floor, a cloud platform in the middle, and a consumer mobile app on top.
- Every cabinet has a small computer inside that talks to its own machine in real time and stays in lockstep with the cloud — so when a player taps a button, the claw moves within a fraction of a second.
- Cashless payments wired directly into the play session — no cash run, no operator gymnastics.
- Live video from each cabinet streams straight to the player so remote play feels like being there.
Outcomes
- Operators run their entire fleet remotely — diagnose, reconfigure, and tune machines from anywhere.
- A new revenue channel: customers who never set foot in the venue.
- Per-cabinet revenue, win rate, and uptime visible in real time.
- Cashless venues opt in and skip the coin run entirely.
Where Think New helped
Think New designed and built the whole stack — the hardware integration, the operator platform, and the mobile app.
