Just a hop, skip, and a jump from Walmart home offices in Rogers, Arkansas stands historic Store #1, which, despite the impressive nomenclature, is really just one of many Walmart supercenters scattered across the country. From time to time, however, Store #1 serves as an experimental testing ground for the latest and greatest Walmart services, technologies, and other developments.
As reported by Hayley Peterson of Business Insider, Store #1 is currently showcasing an impressive feat of retail technology, one that may give some shoppers pause: “Is Walmart teleporting people now?”
No, but the retailer is striving to make in-store pickup as easy as possible for time-strapped shoppers. Currently in the beta testing phase, when fully operational this BOPUS (buy online pick up in store) machine will automatically distribute (i.e., without employee assistance) pre-purchased goods to users of Walmart’s in-store pickup service.
As the video demonstrates, mobile solutions firm Field Agent recently dispatched several agents to Store #1 to use this BOPUS machine. All participants were first directed to walmart.com where they shopped for, purchased, and designated for in-store pickup an item costing at least $5.

Nice article by ZDNet. Restaurants such as McDonald’s and Panera Bread are leading the charge toward automation in the quick-service food industry, which offers an important example of how the labor market is transforming.
Frank Olea of Olea Kiosks is quoted in the article extensively. Frank makes the point that brands can see the ROI. The $15 per hour minimum wage coming also began the thought process on cutting head count and how to deal with labor costs.
Out with the old, and in with the new. Microsoft yesterday stopped providing Windows 7 Professional and Windows 8.1 licenses to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), including its PC partners and systems builders. This means that, as of today, the only way you can buy a computer running Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 is if you can still find one in stock.
Driving people like me to the Embedded channel. Many still buy computers with Windows OS and one of the snafus with Windows 10 for consumers is that automatic updates are mandatory.
EMV system compliance has taken longer than many expected due to the complexity of integrating certified hardware with software and processors. Part 1 in a two-part series explores why the transition has taken so long, especially in the unattended retail sector.
“It does seem like it could be going better on the deployment side,” said Frank Olea, CEO of Olea Kiosks Inc., a kiosk designer and manufacturer. He said the payment processors have to become familiar with EMV-compliant hardware, which takes time.
“The retailers all have to change to this technology, so there is a rush on equipment, and there’s a rush on certification,” said Paul Burden, director of software a Meridian Kiosk.
“EMV requires communication in both directions [between the processor and the chip card],” said Greg Burch, vice president of strategic development at payment equipment manufacturer Ingenico Group. “The complexities of that are much more than traditional magstripe.”
“It’s a more complicated integration,” agreed Rob Chilcoat, president of operations at UCP Inc., an EMV compliance consultant that assists companies with EMV migration. “Every link in the chain has to be certified.”
“These smart terminals actually package and encrypt the data before it ever leaves the device, which is a concept called point-to-point encryption,” Chilcoat said. “Combined with Derived Unique Key Per Transaction, that is what ultimately provides the security assurances to the merchants and the kiosk providers that their system won’t ever be the source of a significant breach of customer card data.”

The installment includes three outdoor models located at the Richmond Plaza Shopping Center, the Rockingham Dragway and the Hamlet Depot, as well as twelve indoor models placed throughout Rockingham, Hamlet, Ellerbe and Hoffman, NC.

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.
