Hospitals
Important in hospitals is accessibility for
wheelchair users.
An anti-bacterial pressure screen is
recommended.
Patients usually register through an ID
card or a scan by QR code.
A plan or the details of the appointments
can be printed, and if needed also the
labels of the patient.
Shops
Easily accessible…
The monitor may be placed vertically for
scrolling.
The kiosk is used to, for example, checking
stock or requesting prices.
A scanner is useful for scanning the
barcode of articles.
Exhibitions, shopping centers
A large touch-screen (40” or more) on
which the plan of the fair or shopping
center is displayed would be perfect.
On the picture, the customer preferred a
smaller touch-screen that is adjustable in
height.
Hotels, reception
Camera, speakers and microphone are
useful for remote contact.
A card reader to read the identity card, or a
scanner to read an international passport is
also required.
You can also make payments and print
tickets.
Finally, a dispenser can be built in to deliver
key cards.
Marketing: publicity, loyalty cards…
Digital Signage is a term that allows remote
control of videos or photos to appear on
multiple screens.
The marketing goes way further: the very
large screens (+45”) are becoming
affordable.
In addition, contactless card readers or card
readers for the identity card are able to
register the customer’s loyalty.
QR code readers support marketing-
focused actions.
Payment facilities
There are several options to pay through a
kiosk.
In addition to the traditional payment
options with debit or credit card as seen in
an ATM, other options exist:
- contactless card reader
- Anotes or coins acceptor
- QR code that can be scanned through
mobile
A ticket printer to print the transactions is
recommended.
Industrial, warehouse, shop floor; …
In a production house, the kiosk is made dust-
resistant, and in some cases also water-
resistant (IP65) or even fire-resistant.
The layout often plays a lesser role. The casing,
on the other hand, is made stronger so that it
can withstand powerfull hits.
Real estate, interaction via showcase
A print screen behind a display window is an
additional tool to give potential customers the
ability for browsing a catalog.
Exhibitors
It can get crowded at an exhibition stand. The
kiosk does not only give a better impression of
your stand, it is also a usefull tool to win
valuable time and to minimize mistakes.
The important thing about these kiosks is that
they are light and transportable, if needed
with some extra wheels. WIFI connection is
often an advantage.
In addition to the touch-screen, an ID card
reader or scanner is useful for quickly entering
customer data.
Museums
A museum is fun when there is some
interaction.
The kiosks are perfect for that.
All possible sensors can be built in, such as
motion scanners, temperature meters, etc.
In addition, a keyboard with trackball in
stainless steel is sturdy enough to withstand
children's antics.
Centralized telesales, customer care
A customer arrival with strong peaks can
perfectly be managed with sophisticated
kiosks.
For example, when a airplane lands, all
passengers arrive at the car rental booths at
the same time.
It is sufficient that 1 seller remains present and
the surplus by means of an interactive kiosk is
received.
In order to properly assist customers, 2
monitors may be required. Other tools such as
camera or scanners to scan documents are
useful.
Outdoor kiosks
Outdoor kiosks must be protected against the
extreme weather conditions in summer and
winter.
Extra insulation and an additional heat source
are recommended in the extreme winters,
while good ventilation is vital during the
summer heat.
In addition, outdoor columns are often
unprotected and anti-vandalistic glass and
other measurements must be taken.
