How KeyMe Is Taking Over The $7.5B LockSmith Industry

When Greg Marsh moved to NYC for business school, he and his wife got locked out of their new home. They had a horrible experience, as an unscrupulous guy showed up in an unmarked van and charged $300 to drill the lock. This experience got Marsh thinking about the locksmith industry and, later, to start KeyMe. As he researched the industry, he became really excited about the opportunity: it’s a massive, $7.5 billion/year industry in the U.S., which hasn’t seen innovation decades. He believed technology could deliver unmatched value and customer experience for key duplication, lockouts an

POS SDK Square – With New SDK, Square Wants to Open New Scenarios for POS | PCMag.com

By opening up the platform, the tech giant is empowering users to bring cloud-based point-of-sale (POS) to workflows it has never serviced before.

Before launching the SDK into the wild, Square worked with a number of select partners to build custom POS solutions by using Square’s technology. The aforementioned Shake Shack has recently been testing cashier-less stores, which it calls the "Shack of the Future," in New York City. Working with the development agency Fuzz, the burger chain built a self-service kiosk that let customers order their food and pay all by themselves. Even though it used Square’s infrastructure of security and payment support, these experimental restaurants were able to drive down wait times with a solution that was effectively customized just for them.

Kiosk research – Airport Kiosks Market 2015-2022

Research on demand — The global airport kiosks market was valued at US$ 248.7 Mn in 2014 and is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 16.1% from 2015 to 2022 reaching a value of US$ 8151 Mn in 2022. 

The growing demand for self-service among the passengers is one of the major factors which is bolstering the growth of airport kiosks market worldwide. This is primarily supported by rising passenger traffic, which is encouraging airport passengers to increasingly look for various self-service solutions such as self-boarding, check-in, bag recovery, document scanning, and flight re-booking at the airports. Additionally, the market’s growth is accelerated by rising IT spending on airports because of increasing airport privatization. 

The global airport kiosks market growth is currently restricted by the deepening penetration of innovative portable computing devices, such as smartphones, iPads, and tablets. These devices are providing more freedom to passengers to get the flight status on demand and flight booking with mobile check-in facilities. The key market players profiled in this report include NCR Corporation, IER SAS, Société Internationale de Télécommunications Aéronautiques (SITA), Toshiba Tec Corporation, Embross Group, Rockwell Collins Inc., Wincor Nixdorf International GmbH, MedinyX Corporation, Fujitsu Ltd., and KIOSK Information Systems. 

The global airport kiosks market has been segmented on the basis of components, applications, and geographical regions. On the basis of components, the market is classified into hardware, software, and services with the hardware segment leading the market in 2014, followed by the services and software segments. Demand for the hardware segment is majorly supported by increasing airport construction around the globe, which is encouraging the deployment of various kinds of interactive kiosks by the airport operators. 

On the basis of applications, the global airport kiosk market is classified into common-use self-service (CUSS), automated passport control (APC), baggage check-in, information, and others which include different retail kiosks and currency exchange kiosks (CEK). In 2014, CUSS led the global airport kiosks market in terms of revenue and is expected to follow this trend until 2022. Similarly, a substantial demand is expected to be seen for applications like APC, retail, and information kiosks owing to growing demand for border management solutions, information regarding flight status, ticket-booking, and on-demand dining facility at airports globally. 

North America headed the airport kiosks market in 2014, holding approximately 37% of the global market revenue share and is expected to continue the same trend during the forecast period from 2015 to 2022. The primary driver for the implementation of kiosks at airports in North America is the steadily rising number of travelers in the region. This is further reinforced by the growing use of APC kiosks at most of the airports in the U.S. Moreover, the rise of new airport development activities and with infrastructure upgrades are propelling demand for kiosks across Europe.

Kiosk History – the doomed weather kiosk in downtown Washington and Fake News  

The reliability of weather reports from a kiosk on Pennsylvania Avenue was a hot topic a century ago.

Source: www.washingtonpost.com

Washington’s weather kiosk was located on Pennsylvania Avenue, near E Street NW. It happened to be directly adjacent to The Washington Post building at the time.

 

Initially, the kiosk was quite popular with the public, and its reports were frequently cited by the media, particularly The Post. But after a couple of decades passed, Washingtonians began to complain that the kiosk was not reporting accurate temperature readings. The kiosk’s temperature was often 10 degrees warmer than the actual temperature, particularly on sunny afternoons.

 

The kiosk became a Great Depression-era “fake news” controversy in Washington.

Self Service News – 10 Biggest Technology Trends of 2015

Technology changes faster than people can keep up with. From the rise of remote work to the death of cable, it’s hard to keep up. With so much new information and technology coming out all the time, it’s hard to know what works, what is fantasy, and what is changing the game. To help you understand the current state of technology, here are the 10 biggest trends this year that have been changing the way people use technology:

Source: www.techzone360.com

 Digital Purse  Uber’s massive growth revealed the potential for apps to enter the consumer service industry and succeed (to say it lightly), but the company’s dominance also points out another interesting element of user behavior: people like paying through an app. It’s simple and clean. Users don’t have to worry about having enough cash or even getting out their wallet. The payment process is handled by the app. All you as a rider have to do is request the car in the first place.

This concept of the digital purse is only gaining steam, and many services have stepped up to bat. Most banks now offer mobile apps to manage your accounts, and Coinbase is even now providing regulated Bitcoin exchange in 26 countries, reviving cryptocurrency. Venmo entered the mobile payment market early and is massively successful on college campuses, but it still has security issues to work through. Recently services like Apple Pay, Samsung Pay, and PayPal One Touch have entered the market. Keep an eye on Samsung Pay’s growth because it is available in 85 percent of all stores, something no other service yet can compete with. Regardless of who comes out on top, the digital purse is booming this year.

Healthcare Kiosk at clinic helps patients get medications quickly

New self-serve technology at one East Valley medical clinic is allowing patients to quickly receive prescriptions and over-the-counter medications from a kiosk immediately following an appointment.

Practitioners at the location can send prescriptions electronically to the kiosk, which verifies patients using their ID. Patients then use the kiosk to interact with a pharmacist via telemedicine and receive their prescriptions.

 

The medications available at the kiosks – over 700 – were chosen based on a review of which drugs are prescribed most frequently by practitioners, Brite said.

 

The kiosks, which are roughly the size of a vending machine, do not include controlled substances such as narcotics or benzodiazepines.
