Waiting it's an inevitable and even necessary aspect of human life. We wait in lines in order to purchase groceries; to be served at restaurants; to be attended to in a bank; at amusement parks; to see a movie.However complacent we have become with shuffling through queues, it is not an activity that most of us relish. And while there's no single elixir to eradicate life's many lines, there's certainly an arsenal of interactive technology that businesses can rely upon to prevent their customers from catching the disease of the waiting dead. This infographic from Kiosk Marketplace and Self-Service World illustrates the multiple line offenders the places commonly found to house apocalyptic backlogs of warm bodies and examples of how businesses are using kiosks to combat them. From airports and hotels to restaurants and retail stores, kiosks are being implemented to satisfy the growing number of consumers who prefer to use technology to expedite a transaction.

It's no surprise that interactive kiosks are popping up all over the retail landscape. Digital interactive kiosks offer innovative ways to interact with your customers, reach target audiences efficiently and thrive in today's competitive marketplace. Here are five ways interactive kiosks can work for your business: 1 Help your customers find the right product Interactive kiosks can help your customers zero in on the right product quickly and easily. Whether its selecting the right pillow, choosing a kids car seat or picking the right GPS system, kiosks can help customers to self-educate and select the right product for their needs without sales assistance. Many customers actually prefer to shop in this fashion without the need to interact with sales people. 2 Facilitate customer sales efficiently Interactive kiosks make an excellent sales assistant tool for your customer service representatives. For example, if a customer has a question about a specific product, such as a cellphone, a salesperson can lead them over to the interactive kiosk and direct them to the product they are specifically interested in. Simply by touching the screen or scanning a product, the customer can learn about pricing, view different color options, find buying guides and compare products on the spot. Interactive kiosks supplement the service from your salesperson and provide customers with the information they need even when a sales assistant is not immediately available to help. 3 Reduce "walk-outs" By keeping your customers engaged, they are less likely to leave the store while waiting for a sales representative to become available. Traffic volumes vary greatly in retail. When customers flood the store, interactive kiosks can begin the education and sales process until sales personnel are free.

Aug. 21, 2014   During peak mail seasons, with textbook arrivals and holiday cards and gifts, Loyola University Maryland students could spend a half hour or more waiting to retrieve packages, according to a press release.   At the same time, checking of student mailboxes had declined on Loyola's campus, as information technology changed. Many times mailboxes weren't checked through the year, causing additional work for university staff having to empty them at the end of the semester. One Loyola student, didn't discover a Valentine's Day card in her campus mailbox until April, the release said.   To address the issue, Loyola called on Tokyo-based Ricoh Americas Corp. to install a self-service mail kiosk, the Ricoh University Kiosk, on campus. The change resulted in more storage space and freed up 10,000 square feet for the university, the release said.   As a package arrives, students are notified via email. They pay a visit to the mail center kiosk and swipe their student ID, which automatically alerts mail staff to the characteristics and location of the student's package.   Instead of a traditional mail system, the Ricoh solution sorts mail into rolling racks. Small scanners worn on their finger allow employees to sort mail according to bar codes.  The bar codes send an automatic email alert to students who receive mail and also track wait time during pickup. Wait time has been reduced from 30 minutes to under a minute, according to the release.   Topics: Custom Kiosks , Education / Schools Kiosk , Post Office Kiosk , Self-Checkout Kiosk

Mintel has released an analysis of 2015 consumer trends.   The trends are likely to be the "most impactful for 2015," the company said. Among those are increasing demands for retail convenience and customization, "blurring the lines between digital and brick-and-mortar." The Internet transformed shopping to a need for convenience and immediacy that consumers now expect, Mintel reported. For example, the data found that 32 percent of facial skincare users are open to purchasing products on the go, such as those in vending machines and kiosks. Increasingly, shoppers are interested in new formats for obtaining products.   "At the heart of this trend is that our on-demand, instant gratification culture is spreading," said Mintel trends analyst Stacy Glasgow. "These conveniences also are not only for city-dwellers as more business models, including in-store pick-up or subscription services, bring the benefits of modern life to suburban and rural residents. This 'at-your-convenience' expectation is likely to influence other customer service-based industries, and we predict that consumers will want to see more customized, on-demand access to financial services, healthcare and more."   Topics: Retail Payment Kiosks , Trends / Statistics , Vending Bill Acceptor Kiosks

Aug. 20, 2014   Telemedicine provider HealthSpot is out to improve health care access in Ohio, the company announced in a release.   HealthSpot intends to connect medical providers and patients in Ohio's health systems by rolling out 100 telemedicine stations in the state.

As a Boulder County corporation, KIOSK Information Systems (KIOSK) is set in one of the “greenest” and most environmentally conscious regions in the country.  With the recent achievement of ISO14001:2004 Environmental Management Standard Certification, KIOSK’s manufacturing processes are proven to align with these eco-friendly values in both theory and practice.   KIOSK COO, Dan Houck explains the reasoning for KIOSK pursuing ISO14001 Certification.  “Over the years, the eco-awareness of our teams has been sharpened by designing and building very high-profile self-service deployments in bike sharing, recycling and other solution platforms where environmental health is at the heart of the project intent.  These are among many projects that prompted us to exceed normal industry standards and invest in the full-blown ISO14001 Certification of our Environmental Management processes.  KIOSK has been ISO9001:2008 Certified for quality since 2005, and we saw real value in undergoing a stringent process audit to confirm we’re providing best in class performance on all the environmental management benchmarks tied to our business.”   In order to achieve ISO14001, auditors authenticated KIOSK recycling processes for all waste stream elements including steel, electronics, cardboard, and employee trash.  Auditors also confirm OSHA standard compliance tied to responsible disposal of all chemicals involved in manufacturing processes.     KIOSK Engineering teams further effect end-solution energy efficiency of enclosures in the field through unique design elements.   Long-term power consumption demands are decreased through routine integration of high-efficiency components, alternative cooling mechanisms, and provision of off-grid solar power options. KIOSK CEO Tom Weaver states, “As a leader in green self-services solutions, we continually drive both our design and manufacturing practices to ‘push the envelope’ on footprint minimization.  Defining environmentally conscious steps throughout design and now manufacturing really helps to frame the most eco-friendly solutions available.  It’s very encouraging to see the compound effect of small changes and innovations over time.”   

Outdoor kiosks are typically two, sometimes three times the cost of indoor kiosks. The reasons are varied but can best be summarized as follows:     Kiosk Design: An outdoor kiosk needs to be designed from the ground up as a watertight enclosure. It is generally not cost-effective to try to modify an indoor kiosk model to be outdoors compliant. The primary reason for this is that the kiosk needs to have all seams watertight and must be insulated on the inner walls to protect from heat and cold. Outdoor kiosks also need to be much more durable in construction as they will more often than not, be in unsupervised environments. After all is said and done, the outdoor enclosure (the cabinet only) is twice the cost of a comparable indoor unit.     Kiosk Display: The monitor must not be susceptible to .sunlight washout.. The effect is most commonly seen on ATM machines in the sunlight: you cannot read what.s on the screen due to direct or indirect sunlight. The solution is high backlighting and this can only be done on LCD monitors. LCD monitors in themselves are a bit more expensive than CRT monitors, although the cost differences are narrowing. High backlighting more than triples the cost of a LCD. For example, a 15. LCD with touch screen and with high backlighting and will cost about $2,000. The decision to use high backlighting is up to the customer but if they decline, we will want that in writing. Before you ask, we will not deliver outdoor kiosks without the LCD solution. We will never provide a CRT solution. The CRT approach has proven to yield unsatisfactory results and we want no part of that since an unsatisfactory monitor solution is virtually assured.     HVAC: The kiosk may well require a heater/air conditioner installed to maintain an acceptable temperature and humidity inside the kiosk. Depending on the environment, we may have to use various degrees of air treatment methods, which may add up to $3,200 to the cost of the kiosk. There are some areas in the country that may allow outdoor solutions without HVAC or your outdoor installation may be in-wall where you can take advantage of air conditioning in the building for your kiosk. The issue, however, is not only heat but also humidity. Protecting the electronics inside the kiosk is expensive.       PC Hardware:  Because of heat generated by the components inside the kiosk (mostly by the LCD and the PC), we recommend the use of a very small form factor, low heat generating PC. This adds to the PC cost a bit but lowers the amount of heat that must be removed by the air treatment/conditioner system. Bigger PCs generate more heat and more heat means more expensive and capable air treatment/conditioning which costs more, etc., etc.     Kiosk installation:  This is an extra and un-calculated cost of outdoor kiosks. Typically, outdoor kiosks need to be bolted to the ground, which implies that they have a level cement slab on which to be mounted. There must be power and whatever other connectivity you will need, delivered to the kiosk (frequently underground and through the cement slab). The power cables and connections must also be watertight and in agreement with local electrical standards which vary from state to state. The site preparation for this could be costly and time-consuming, as you will have building permits, specific guidance from the state or local government, specific subcontractors that must be used and related costs and delays to complete this.
