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.

Did you know that Disney in Orlando has over 200 restaurants and covers 43 square miles? Did we mention free passes? We have those too.

“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.”

DataByte: The latest India datamart report says “kiosk market 64B.” That is for 2032 and more than half of their numbers are ATMs. This data is significant for us as it underlines the trending growth in the kiosk market. There is double-counting (KFC deploys 5000 kiosks & so does ACRELEC America who makes them for KFC. McDonalds deploys 10,000 kiosks? Diebold Nixdorf does too. And for triple counting Pyramid Computer makes the McD units for DN.

Kiosk Industry October 2023: Self-Service Association Exhibiting IAAPA and NRF

WESTMINSTER, Colo. /ScoopCloud/ -- Kiosk Industry and Kiosk Manufacturer Association News: Trade Shows - IAAPA is next month and here is our preview. Outdoor ticketing, wristband dispense.

Restaurant News -- Samsung with new VXT CMS for AI-powered voice order menu boards going into White Castle. New digital-only Whataburger. Outdoor pickup. Nice case study with Aramark.

ADA -- December 2023 brings the new self-service & POS guidelines from the U.S. Access Board. Several notable entries for Braille and screen-readers.

Industry Buzz Around Our Watercooler -- Couple of big deployments supposedly planned in restaurants. Charley's is in progress and it might be Burger King will follow McDonald's example and put in a thousand or so self-order kiosks. On the SCO front, it appears that Walmart is deploying its own SCO units (with lidar). That also would mean replacing the current software driving registers (Fastlane by NCR?). Our guess is the service people at NCR Bentonville are getting nervous. Costco is being sued for their website allowing all types of user info to be tracked by 3rd parties. Link below.
