Kiosks Self Service Nov/Dec

Featured – Our IAAPA kiosk update is the main focus, and self-checkout, self-order, digital wayfinding, cash-to-card, and accessibility will be demoed. Code for free pass. Exhibitors in the booth include Pyramid kiosks, RedyRef, AcquireDigital, and TPGi in our 10×20.  Amusement parks and cruise ships are natural for self-service, self-order, and digital signage (wayfinding, e.g.).  Disney in Orlando has over 200 restaurants and covers 43 square miles. And NRF in NYC is just around the corner too.  We’ll be handing out 2024 best kiosk design awards.  

Announcement — We want to say thanks to new members Crane CPI, SKG Manufacturing, EasyPay, Ventus(Digi), POSBank with great POS systems and DPL Wireless for their support. Membership has grown such that we are now limiting entry. Having someone with experience to talk to is great, but there is only one of us. For advertising dollars we recommend Google Ads.

Events — Our IAAPA kiosk update this month.  Updated trade show events page. The US Access Board had their October meeting. Here is a clip of most relevant comments.

Personal Thoughts:  The election altered many things.  Bitcoin interest has shot thru the roof (see IBIT ETF or Coinbase) for example. The “probable tariffs” of 60% coming in February via EO has elevated Chinese goods (and American) for the time being. They will cost substantially more in 2 months.

DataBytes — Cash use globally will fall 40%, displaced by the successful globalization of UPI and Pix (Forrester). 2025 will mark an inflection point for markets where cash has been sticky. For more numbers, see running log — Stats Smorgasboard. Also version 26 of Market Stats.
