As noted on PRNewswire and AP News

Editor Notes — The restaurant technology deep dive is free registration and the event takes place May 4th.

DENVER, Colo., April 27, 2022 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — April 2022 Self-Service: The Kiosk Association is pleased to announce we are sponsoring a restaurant tech deep dive with Panera Bread and Chipotle digital strategy officers as part of Nations Restaurant News (NRN). Topics include interactive digital, robotics, pickup lockers for delivery services, EV chargers and more.

Coming Events: National Restaurant Association in Chicago in May is the big upcoming event. See the dual 55 outdoor drive-thru digital menu from Keyser, a small 15” AIO for self-order and the new Clover Kiosk by Nanonation (using the Samsung kiosk). There is a social event being put on Saturday night by Intel and if interested in attended email us.

ISE in Barcelona is in May. And then June 8, 2022 is InfoComm 2022. AV is huge and especially for all forms of menu displays for outdoor (think Drive-Thru which is 75% of sales?). Big screens for EV charging stations at places like Walgreens, Kohls, and now restaurants. The free advertising on Google Maps doesn’t hurt.

2021 Library Telehealth Guide Report

New 2021 Report on Telehealth for Libraries

Nice writeup feature by Craig Settles on the state of library telehealth and its benefits. 22 pages with illustrations. Worth noting that we assisted Mr. Settles in some of his research. You can download the full report at i-telehealth.com, our telehealth and telemedicine vertical information blog.

Excerpt:

Telehealth for Libraries Guide Report

Libraries on the vanguard of transforming healthcare delivery, what is your library going to do in this moment when the federal government is committing over $7 billion to communities making a difference?

This guide lays out how to a) get to the heart of patrons’ healthcare needs, b) create something that’s never been done in your community before, and c) market your telehealth and broadband grant proposal.

More than video chats, telehealth uses intranets and Internet networks to observe, diagnose, initiate or otherwise medically intervene, administer, monitor, record, and/or report on the continuum of care people receive when ill, injured, or wanting to stay well.

I’ll take this definition one step further and differentiate between

1) real-time telehealth,
2) store-and-forward telehealth, and
3) “passive” telehealth.

Real-time telehealth are activities happening “right here and now,” often involving medical or healthcare professionals. In a library setting, a patron is video chatting with a doctor from a study room or other enclosed private space, or a traveling nurse sets up in a room to do hypertension screening with patrons and video conferencing with a doctor in another location should patrons have questions.

Store-and-forward telehealth is collecting medical data and sending it electronically to another site for later evaluation. Patrons who don’t want to go over their data cap (limit) might use a library’s Wi-Fi to send medical records, test results, or digital images. For maximum privacy and security, telehealth applications receive and send using HIPAA-compliant software.

In the context of this guide, “passive” telehealth refers to educational Web content, digital knowledgebases, and software applications that help us understand, prevent, treat, or recover from threats to our physical and mental health. Few entities are as competent as libraries for making knowledge easy to find and sort through.

Telehealth making a difference

There are at least five primary ways to impact healthcare delivery through telehealth at libraries:

Market Research Report Kiosk

Nice research report from UPS covering shoppers and what it is seeing for data.

Excerpt:

While e-commerce offers new, unparalleled opportunities for accelerated growth, most retailers also are facing unprecedented challenges, and their very survival is in question. They must keep pace with ever-evolving technology and customer expectations. And omnichannel retailers are being pushed by shoppers to deliver a compelling, seamless experience across all channels. The lines of distinction between brick-and-mortar and digital experiences are forever blurred.

Excellence across all channels is considered table stakes, and organizations are struggling with how best to accomplish these objectives while remaining profitable. With change at a rampant pace, there is no longer a universal set of answers for how a retailer sets priorities and thrives. However, this much is clear: It is more essential than ever to understand the actions and motivations of today’s increasingly savvy, tech-driven shopper.

That is exactly what this study offers — insights on today’s well-connected, in-control shopper. Retailers of all sizes are experiencing tensions within their organization about prioritizing the changes needed to remain competitive. The insights offered here are designed to help them determine the best path forward as they navigate the intricacies of a market that’s never been more challenging.

From David Haynes

This is my regular reminder to anyone looking for market research on the digital signage hardware or software industries – MOST of the research reports out there are garbage.

This morning’s Google Alerts scrape of news stories that come up under “digital+signage” has four headlines about market research reports on displays and software. The photo above is the corporate headquarters of one of the research firms – a down at the heels industrial park in Deerfield Beach, Florida – the kind of place you roll into to get auto body work or buy plumbing supplies. It is very likely HQ is a mail slot or $50/month virtual office. The 1-855 number is shared by several “research” firms.

The Asia-Pacific HQ is Pune, India – where many to most of these “research” companies are located. This one, amusingly, appears to have its offices in a hotel.

Peerless-AV® Projector Mounts for Rental and Staging

Peerless-AV® Introduces New Large Venue Projector Mounts for Rental and Staging Applications

New mounts offer quick, safe, and easy installation, supporting a wide range of large venue projector mount brands

AURORA, Ill. – July 17, 2018 – Peerless-AV®, an award-winning designer and manufacturer of the highest quality audio and video solutions and accessories, today announced the availability of its Large Venue Projector Mount (PJR250).

An extension to Peerless-AV’s projector mount product line, the PJR250 is designed to provide a quick, safe, and simple installation – making it the ideal solution in rental and staging settings where products in venues may frequently change.

The PJR250 features a low profile, pre-assembled design with a Hook-and-Hang™ system and unique dedicated adaptor plates that support all major large venue projector brands.

“In developing our Large Venue Projector Mount, our team focused heavily on the impact that the design would have on the installation process,” said Nick Belcore, Executive Vice President of Global Sales and Marketing, Peerless-AV. “Including options like the Hook-and-Hang™ feature as well as dedicated adaptor plates was a must for this solution. We wanted integrators to be able to install and un-install large format projectors as seamlessly as possible.”

Click for full image

For a quick and easy installation, the PJR250 includes a simple Hook-and-Hang™ feature, which provides a large landing area when securing a projector to the mount. In addition, the dedicated adaptor plates place the center of gravity in the middle of the mount, simplifying adjustments and achieving the perfect balance when ceiling or flush mounting a projector. A unique feature in the market, these adaptor plates significantly reduce installation time by eliminating the need to install legs, which can be difficult to stabilize and can lead to projector sag over time.

To obtain perfect image alignment, the PJR250 features horizontal adjustment up to 3″ as well as tilt (+15/-5°), roll (±5°), and swivel (360°) adjustment, which are lockable to prevent even the smallest shift to the image once installation is complete.

The PJR250 includes a safety cable for assurance when handling and installing large projectors, as well as integrated cable management, allowing the cables to be routed through the projector mount for a clean aesthetic.

Peerless-AV’s Large Venue Projector Mounts are available now through Peerless-AV direct sales representatives and authorized distribution networks.

displaying, sharing and controlling content specific to a source. CoreTouch also supports the new annotation capabilities of Microsoft’s Office Suite, allowing for annotation from the monitor over live applications like Word, Excel, and PowerPoint as well as whiteboarding.
“Combining the CoreTouch appliance with our touchscreen solutions provides for increased utilization of these interactive displays,” commented Gary Mundrake, President at TSItouch. “This improves the value proposition and ROI of room designs in a time when customers are demanding broader usage of their meeting rooms.”
“Driving additional features and capabilities through touch displays will result in additional demand and sales,” commented Rich Reiss, CEO at Layer Logic. “And with the Layer Logic mobile app, we can reduce or eliminate the need for expensive control systems – freeing up more budget to design rooms and spaces in new and creative ways.

Disabled Access – How Self-Service Kiosks Help Hotels, Restaurants

blind kiosk access

Self-Service Kiosks for Hotels, Restaurants

Article on Hospitality Tech by Vispero Feb 2020

By Laura Boniello Miller, Corporate Business Development Manager for the JAWS Kiosk program at Vispero, parent company of The Paciello Group – 02/26/2020

People with disabilities travel and dine out just like everyone else. Research conducted by the Open Doors Organization in 2015 found that “more than 26 million adults with disabilities traveled for pleasure and/or business, taking 73 million trips.” This spending has a significant impact on the travel industry, but sometimes the technology employed by hotels and restaurants is not accommodating to people with disabilities. This offers hospitality an excellent opportunity to employ self-service technology that will improve their disabled guest’s experience and capture more of their spending power with accommodations and services that support this group.

Kiosk Return Reverse Vending – Doddle and KIOSK self-service returns

KIosk Returns

From Kiosk.com Jun2020

We all know that returns are an essential part of the consumer journey, yet they can cause retailers some serious trouble to process. For instance, in-store returns are a great way to recapture lost revenue from returns, but processing them at the checkout can cause longer lines, create more work for staff and extend wait times for customers who are trying to buy something.

Retailers learn how they may recapture lost revenue from returns

While 61% of Americans prefer to return goods in-store according to UPS research, those retailers who do offer in-store returns generally have not adapted specifically for this customer journey. Customers with a return transaction often have to wait in line with everyone else to sort their return out and after their handover, may wait up to 3 weeks for credit card refunds (where these are offered).

When making an in-store return, 70% purchase an additional item

 

Alternatively, customers can book ahead using the digital portal, linked via the retailer website, and hosted by Doddle.

Google Chrome Interactive Features

Chrome Gets NFC enabled

Chrome Gets NFC enabled

Editors Note – All of the most mature Browser Lockdown products for secure desktop use the Chrome Engine. This latest device integration by Google is significant. NFC (Near Field Communications) is a core technology used often in self-service kiosks. Browsers have become the viewports for all.

Excerpt from TechRadar:

Web browsers are developing and evolving faster than ever, and this is certainly true of Google Chrome. The company has just released a new beta version the browser – Chrome Beta 89 – and it includes a number of keys updates to APIs that open up a host of exciting new features.

There are different things to look forward to depending whether you’re using the mobile or desktop version of Chrome, but Android users on the beta program have gained a new way to interact with NFC tags. Desktop users have an easier way to share content to social media, and there’s more too.

Google has enabled web NFC (Near Field Communications) by default, which means Android users can interact with displays and exhibitions at museums and galleries, sign into buildings, and more. Android devices running Chrome 89 can also write to NFC tags which has lots of possibilities.
