The Industry Group (TIG) and Kiosk Association Advance Accessibility with U.S. Access Board

WESTMINSTER, Colo., Sept. 22, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — The Industry Group (TIG) and the Kiosk Manufacturer Association (KMA) today highlighted recent work on accessibility, artificial intelligence, payments and self-service technology. The TIG/KMA Accessibility Committee met with the U.S. Access Board on Sept. 15 to discuss how accessibility must evolve as customer transactions increasingly span kiosks, touchscreens, payment terminals, mobile phones, QR codes, voice interfaces, AI systems, identity verification and human support.

The principle is straightforward: accessibility follows the transaction, not just the device.

“In the past, it was possible to isolate a kiosk or payment terminal and treat it as the accessibility question,” said Craig Allen Keefner, executive director of the Kiosk Manufacturer Association and CEO of The Industry Group. “Today, the question is whether a customer can independently and privately complete the transaction: arrive, reach equipment, identify the service, operate the interface, pay, receive service, get help and finish.”

Discussion included EV charging, self-service retail, smart vending, lockers, parking, drive-thru systems, payment and government-service workflows. The committee emphasized that conversational AI, voice, gesture, mobile apps, QR codes and biometrics can expand access, but should not become the only route a customer can use to complete a transaction.

TIG also noted market activity across its self-service and restaurant-technology coverage. Canopee Tech, a Miami-based quick-service restaurant technology company, appointed Bruno LO-RE as chairman and president alongside founder and CEO Thibaud Denolle. The company reports deployment across thousands of North American restaurant locations and plans to accelerate international growth.

For Fall 2026, TIG and KMA updated supporter, trade-show, targeted-email and market-intelligence programs for companies planning 2027 initiatives. TIGER 2027 will launch during NRF New York in January, expanding from a one-time report into a year-round intelligence offering with implementation analysis, quarterly updates and analyst access.

TIG and KMA will also participate in the Automated Retail & Kiosk Innovation Show (ARKI), Dec. 14–16, 2026, at Loews Miami Beach. The event covers kiosks, smart vending, self-checkout, payments, digital signage, AI and unattended retail. TIG/KMA will exhibit at booth 39.

Kiosk Association Appoints Matthijs Verhagen as Accessibility Co-Chair to Advance Global Compliance Strategy

WESTMINSTER, Colo., May 4, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — The Kiosk Association (KMA) today announced the appointment of Matthijs Verhagen, European Sales Manager at Storm Interface, as Co-Chair of its Accessibility Committee. Verhagen joins Michael O’Hare (TFA Consulting) and Oscar Rozo (LG Electronics) to lead the committee at a critical inflection point for the self-service industry.

With enforcement timelines accelerating for the European Accessibility Act (EAA) and new U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Section 504 requirements, operators and manufacturers face increasing pressure to align deployed systems with evolving accessibility mandates.

FROM POLICY TO DEPLOYMENT REALITY

The KMA Accessibility Committee represents more than 100 member companies spanning kiosk hardware, software, payments, and field services—including industry leaders such as Intel, Olea Kiosks, KIOSK Information Systems, and Pyramid Computer.

Unlike policy-driven working groups, the committee is focused on deployment-scale execution—translating regulatory requirements into practical, field-tested standards that can be implemented across thousands of deployed systems.

THREE REGULATORY FRONTS DEFINING THE MARKET

Europe — EAA Compliance
With EAA enforcement approaching, KMA is aligning members on hardware, interface, and assistive technology requirements necessary for continued access to EU markets.

United States — HHS Section 504
New federal rules are redefining accessibility expectations for healthcare and public-facing digital services, requiring immediate operational planning and system updates.

Asia-Pacific — Scale Without Harmonization
Rapid self-service adoption across Asia—particularly in high-volume retail and transit environments—continues to outpace regulatory alignment, creating both opportunity and compliance risk for global OEMs and integrators.

INDUSTRY-DRIVEN STANDARDS THAT WORK AT SCALE

“The strength of the KMA is not in committee structure—it is in deployment reality,” said the Kiosk Association. “When companies like Intel, Olea, and KIOSK Information Systems align on accessibility, the result is not theoretical guidance—it is standards that work in real environments, at real scale.”

FOCUSED DELIVERABLES FOR OPERATORS AND INTEGRATORS

The KMA Accessibility Committee is actively developing:

  • EAA readiness and compliance checklists
  • HHS Section 504 implementation frameworks
  • Accessibility ROI and retrofit vs. replace decision models
  • Multi-modal interface guidance (touch, voice, and assistive technologies)

These resources are designed to help organizations move beyond compliance uncertainty and into executable deployment strategies.

ABOUT THE KIOSK ASSOCIATION (KMA)

The Kiosk Association is a global organization dedicated to advancing best practices in self-service technology. Operating under The Industry Group (TIG), KMA provides leadership in accessibility, security, and lifecycle design for kiosks, digital signage, and point-of-sale systems.

More information: http://kma.global

INDUSTRY RESOURCES (NRA ATTENDEE ACCESS)

In conjunction with the National Restaurant Association Show, The Industry Group is providing limited access to operator-focused research tools, including:

  • Retrofit vs. Replace Decision Kit with worksheet
  • Self-Service ROI Calculator
  • Voice AI in Self-Service 2026 (Drive-thru, kiosks, cost models)
  • Edge AI upgrade planning tools (Intel / Hailo / legacy systems)

Designed to answer one critical question:
“Should we upgrade what we have—or start over?”

Self Service Kiosk News for October 2024 from the Kiosk Manufacturer Association

Our booth at IAAPA features a strong lineup of partners

WESTMINSTER, Colo. and ORLANDO, Fla., Oct. 15, 2024 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Kiosk Manufacturer Association (KMA) updates for October 2024 announced. As we gear up for IAAPA in Orlando this November, we’re excited to showcase our expertise in the kiosk market. Our demos will include self-order, digital wayfinding, cash-to-card, and accessibility. These solutions are particularly well-suited for amusement parks and cruise ships, where self-service, self-order, and digital signage (such as wayfinding) are in high demand.

“Our booth at IAAPA features a strong lineup of partners, including Pyramid kiosks (two units), RedyRef (two units), AcquireDigital, and TPGi. TPGi will be showcasing a demo from imageHOLDERS,” says KMA executive director Craig Keefner. “In the digital signage pavilion, you can also find 22Miles and Elotouch, further demonstrating our commitment to collaboration and innovation. Our next tradeshow after IAAPA is NRF in January.”
