ISE 2022 in Barcelona — over 40K in attendance, so not sure if the next time it will be Amsterdam. The highlight for us is a very nice video by LG Business Solutions showing their new competing kiosk (with assistive tech unlike Samsung) along with some stellar new release outdoor and indoor displays. The 400 NIT indoor 110 inch for sports bars in particular. Included is our perspective on where the market is, and where it is heading.

Editors Note — Nice to see the video intro of the new LG Kiosks. Note the assistive technology for accessibility included (unlike Samsung with no option for that). The UHD 110s are spectacular and the new 4000 nit outdoor rated displays are something else.
Perspective – For sure the use of self-order kiosks such as the McDonald’s kiosks and McDonald-like kiosks have seen a large deployment. It seems pretty clear at this stage given the benefits and cost reductions which have been measured and noted that much like payment kiosks for Verizon and AT&T that this market has only entered phase 1. The next generation(s) restaurant technology is more likely to come from companies such as LG and Panasonic which have complete ecosystems for the industry. This market is a multi-year extending to theoretically phase 10 (like Verizon and AT&T). The original startup Zivelo (with its signed contract) sold to Verifone (payment devices) and for sure that buyout has recognized as a smart tactical decision at the time, but long term they are definitely at a disadvantage and may have trouble sustaining that growth. The same could be said for focused providers like Coates..
Below are some snapshots from the video we liked + the general text and links that LG has provided. LG people will be in Chicago for NRA and available for meetings. Here is our synopsis for the show which also includes some meet & greet events by RTN and DSF.
The retail industry is quickly transitioning to a more these days.

IDmission brings verification, convenience, and security to TendedBar automated cocktail service
Jacksonville, FL – Whether it’s an NFL Game, an Elton John, Metallica, or Bruno Mars concert, or the final round of a PGA TOUR event, the last thing fans want to do is miss the action while waiting in line to get a drink. TendedBar, the industry’s most innovative automated bar service, and IDmission, a global leader in identity proofing and AI technology, announced an exciting new partnership. By teaming up with IDmission, TendedBar makes the one-time registration, onboarding, and payment processes for potential customers seamless and secure. TendedBar continues to expand business throughout the United States, with activations in Jacksonville, Orlando, San Diego, San Antonio, Austin, Dallas, and Las Vegas.
Customers will have the opportunity to scan a QR code to initiate the digital bar tab process. The web app captures a selfie, a scan of their identification document, and payment details. IDmission will authenticate the customer, validate age, and sync the customer’s verified identity/payment token with every TendedBar unit. TendedBar locations will recognize the customer, provide them access to more than 100 top-shelf cocktails, and automatically process one payment at the end of the event. This bar tab can be used again and again at any venue where TendedBar is active.
IDmission accurately verifies customer’s age and identity and tokenizes the customer’s payment information, ensuring every customer’s safety is upheld; neither the identity nor payment information are ever exposed to TendedBar, or others as part of the process.
“IDmission’s experience in secure identity-based transactions enabled us to create an efficient and effective customer journey at every TendedBar,” said Justin Honeysuckle, TendedBar Co-Founder.
“The technology behind the web application allows us to verify identity and age in seconds. Their identity technology, combined with TendedBar’s automation and payment platform, has put us on the path to being the leader in beverage automation in the industry.”
“TendedBar has created a perfect use case of digital identity being used to access goods and services in the physical world,” said Ashim Banerjee, CEO, IDmission, and:
“Tying payments to identity opens up a whole new world of selfie payments. IDmission is honored to be playing a small part in this oncoming revolution in the retail experience.”

At the Digital Signage Expo, visitors will get to see the new Self-Service Pavilion, which will display a number of kiosks and interactive displays. However, with all the activity, DSE can be a bit overwhelming. Here are a few tips to get the most out of your visit.
Key copying kiosk company KeyMe raises another $25M . The company plans to have 3,000 kiosks in the United States by the middle of next year by Steven Loeb on December 07, 2016
Periodically, the Kiosk Industry Group inducts new Hall of Fame members. Nominations are now being accepted. Inductees will be announced at DSE in Las Vegas in March 2017.
This year the Association is including a special recognition category for media and the writers, editors and tradeshow producers who have contributed to industry. Our current candidates include: James Vande Castle, Kiosk Magazine, and Mary Carlin, Edgell Publications. Also included is a special posthumous recognition for James Bickers, who died in October 2016. Bickers was among the first editors of Kiosk Marketplace and the creator and founding editor of Digital Signage Today.
Several restaurant chains are using kiosks and other technology that allow orders to be placed more rapidly and efficiently. Kiosks are fostering fears about job losses, but in reality, kiosks are serving to reallocate labor from the front to the back of the restaurant and in some cases, add jobs.
Good writeup. The Rensi/Puzder misinformation drives me crazy. What McD needs is to sell more stuff. Just like Paneras is now doing thanks to adding self-service, expanding their kitchen, and yes, hiring more people…it’s lazy journalism catering to the controversial.
KIND is not the only software and/or compliance company to be thinking about cannabis kiosks—Jane and KioWare are two other companies that also want to use automated kiosks as a solution to the cannabis industry’s financial problems. Even Jamaica’s Cannabis Licensing Authority is on the kiosk train and wants to install weed kiosks in Jamaica’s airports. Yet with KIND’s recent partnership with Microsoft to provide cannabis tracking solutions for governments, Dinenberg thinks that KIND definitely has the leg up on competition.
The company behind New York’s celebrated transformation of old pay phones into high-tech digital way stations has negotiated a 15-year deal with Miami-Dade officials to install up to 300 of the kiosks at bus stops and Metrorail stations across the county.

The National Council on Disability (NCD) has issued a report on measures to ensure access to information and communication technologies for people with disabilities. The document provides recommendations to the President, Congress, and federal agencies, as well as to the technology industry, the private sector, and state and local governments. NCD provided a briefing on the report at the Capitol on October 7 with representatives from industry, disability groups, and federal agencies, including the Access Board.
TechCrunch reports that KFC China is going to try facial recognition technology. Couple that with demographic and historical data and you can begin to approach smart ordering.
Baidu is demonstrating some of its most recent tech advancements in novel ways, including a partnership with KFC China (yes, the fried chicken KFC). The search giant sometimes referred to as the ‘Google of China’ partnered with KFC to open a new “smart restaurant” in Beijing, which employs facial recognition to make recommendations about what customers might order, based on factors like their age, gender and facial expression.
When you engage in international travel, you may one day find yourself face-to-face with border security that is polite, bilingual and responsive—and robotic.
The Automated Virtual Agent for Truth Assessments in Real Time (AVATAR) is cbeing tested to help border security agents determine whether travelers coming into Canada may have undisclosed motives for entering the country.
“AVATAR is a kiosk, much like an airport check-in or grocery store self-checkout kiosk,” said San Diego State University management information systems professor Aaron Elkins. “However, this kiosk has a face on the screen that asks questions of travelers and can detect changes in physiology and behavior during the interview. The system can detect changes in the eyes, voice, gestures and posture to determine potential risk. It can even tell when you’re curling your toes.”
Eventually, Cassady envisions the delivery hubs being of great use to large online retailers. Cutting down on the locations where retailers are sending packages will save them money. Fewer delivery points mean more efficiency for carriers and less cost for shippers.
Augmented reality technology blends virtual reality with real-world images to create immersive user experiences. Developers need to get ready — really.
Gartner believes by 2020, 100 million consumers will leverage augmented reality technology for online retail, an experience characterized as “immersive shopping.” It’s coming quickly; Gartner predicts 20% of global retail brands will adopt some form of augmented reality during 2017.
Here’s a paradox you don’t hear much about: despite a century of creating machines to do our work for us, the proportion of adults in the US with a job has consistently gone up for the past 125 years. Why hasn’t human labor become redundant and our skills obsolete?
In this talk about the future of work, economist David Autor addresses the question of why there are still so many jobs and comes up with a surprising, hopeful answer.
Forget foreign scapegoats. Tech innovation is what’s killing jobs. And the revolt after Trump will resemble the real Luddite movement.
The tech industry played an influential role in the outcome of the US Presidential election. Not just in providing the medium for fake news and propaganda. The root cause is job destruction by automation , which drove a base of dissatisfied Rust Belt voters to support Trump. Job destruction is accelerating — and if tech doesn’t get ahead of this problem there will be a significant populist backlash against the industry and its ability to progress.
This post was inspired by Bianca Al-Shamari, who is writing an article on job automation and the impact on future generations.
A recent study found 50% of occupations today will be gone by 2020, and a 2013 Oxford study forecasted that 47% of jobs will be automated by 2034. A Ball State study found that only 13% of manufacturing job losses were due to trade, the rest from automation. A McKinsey study suggests 45% of knowledge work activity can be automated.
The canary in the coal mine is trucking. Truck driver is the No. 1 job in the US of A. Driving a truck is a respectable job that pays well enough to provide for a family without a lot of education. It’s in trouble. The autonomous Uber Freight is taking orders, powered by Otto. Uber’s $680M acquisition of Otto’s 91 employees equals an effective valuation of $7.5M per employee. Or you could say $200 per US trucking job killed.
Being a Luddite in modern terms has been broadly defined as “people not adopting technology.” Like people that didn’t “get blogging.” But the term comes from the people who destroyed labor-saving devices in the British textile industry during the industrial revolution. They acted on orders from a mythical general Ned Ludd to rebel against the technology that was destroying their jobs.
Yesterday I posted The Coming Tech Backlash, on how my industry is due for a reckoning with the job destruction caused by automation. The key question people asked, and hopefully of themselves, is what can I do about it? As a small startup founding CEO, here’s my answer.
I’m leaning my product towards augmentation and job creation. And supporting emerging communities. These points are admittedly self-serving, but are therefore sustainable.
Pingpad is already collaboration software that augments the abilities of teams. We fall on the side of Augmentation from the Doug Engelbart lineage in the Automation vs. Augmentation debate.
There are hundreds of use cases for a bot-augmented wiki knowledge base. We are prioritizing those that drive job creation — customer success. Focusing on how Customer Success Teams can onboard new customers faster, resolve customer issues faster and ultimately drive more revenue through people working together. This enables customers to grow and create more jobs.
Pingpad is free for up to 100 Notes, ample enough not just for many business use cases, but great for communities organizing on Slack.
I’m also looking for opportunities to advance education for the disaffected. My particular interest is enabling junior colleges (I went to Foothill and gave a commencement speech there), which are best positioned to solve these problems, but need resources, technology and knowledge.
I’m going to keep bringing attention to the issue within the industry. And I’m looking for even better ideas that require a range of resources.

A US patent has been issued on MT series accessories for engineering innovation for transforming a tablet into a pistol grip bar code reader, then an all-in-one POS. The MT series is ideal for line-busting, inventory management, mobile payment and customer engagement.
Nike has slowly been testing how augmented reality can help customers. Last year, the company filed a patent application for an augmented reality system that helped people reach their exercising goals.

The row of four iPads is right inside the door, across from the traditional cashier station. Customers can order from their history and favorites, customize menu items, redeem rewards and pay with credit cards, just as they can at the regular check-out.
The Panera Bread at 3186 Northlake Boulevard doesn’t have the fast-lane kiosks yet, but it will eventually. Most stores will have four to eight kiosks, according to an article by USA Today detailing technology-based efforts Panera is making to reduce wait times.
The St. Louis-based company started rolling out its “Panera 2.0” improvements in 2014.
