Trade fair

At exhibitions, it is usually difficult to get to the right. The trade fair visitor is all the more pleased when he finds a machine that can help him to find his way. At airports or hotels, terminals can provide up-to-the-minute information at an early stage and / or interest in a visit to the fair. Via the interactive touch screen, users can inform themselves without having special computer skills.

Separate video, animations or television can be displayed on separate screens – controlled by time or depending on the interactive touchscreen. Visitors can register themselves at vending machines and receive a high-security passport (e.g., using RFID technology) and avoid unpleasant queues for so long. In the inner area, terminals can show a current map. Through intelligent search functions visitors can find all exhibitions or lectures (filter criteria: company name, brand name, product category, location etc.). Even routing systems with display or printout of an optimal plan to achieve the goal are possible.

By combining different applications, particularly innovative solutions can be integrated, such as, for example, The advice for the visitors interesting exhibitions according to individual preferences (Guided Visit). No more visited companies can then contact the visitor (Express Visit). Of course, the terminals can also display other information that is held or offered parallel to the event. Interestingly, there is also information on the local situation, e.g. Restaurants. In addition, visitors can contact the trade fair organization directly to ask questions or make suggestions. It is also suitable for answering surveys as they are offered at the end of the fair

In shopping centers, terminals are perfect as routing systems, so that every visitor can search the shops for criteria (e.g., product names, brands, or product categories). Maps, which can also be printed out, show the best way to the business. Your customers can buy products at the terminals independently, and pay them immediately cash or by credit card. You will then receive a receipt immediately after purchase, and you can get the product sent home as you wish.

Of particular importance here is, of course, the careful design of the screens and the processes. This is not primarily about design, but on effective design, which is made possible by years of experience. With these advantages, hotels can increase customer satisfaction. They can also easily integrate bonus systems, e.g. Collect points and redeem them in the form of bonuses.

With the terminals, customers can be optimally informed about all the hotel’s amenities. In the case of hotel chains, the terminal is also suitable for reserving bookings in partner hotels. Additional revenue can be obtained through the placement of advertising. With the terminals, not only hotel information, but also city information can be presented optimally. Online bookings can be used to make bookings or to make phone calls.

By means of terminals, the complex financing offer can be communicated pleasantly and transparently in order to attract new customers.

Simulations can be easily carried out and forms filled in. Smartcard authentication allows transactions to be legally secure. Via separate displays, which are controlled by the terminal, contextual videos of the topics can be displayed to create a comprehensive experience. With the kiosk, interested parties can communicate directly with the bank, to ask questions, to send suggestions or to answer surveys. Interested customers are able to retrieve exchange information promptly and also manage their portfolio. You can create analyzes of stocks directly (using analysis tools), buy funds or stocks and get up-to-date background information.

Where appropriate, the geo-oriented applications can be linked to other services: e.g. Payment of bills for water, electricity, gas, or telephone.

Municipalities and authorities

Terminals offer all citizens the same way to retrieve public information from the authority without owning a computer. They are therefore necessary to implement accessibility, that is, To enable full access to information. As only one-third of the population has access to the Internet, those who do not otherwise have the possibility to use electronic services can also use terminal services to manage administrative procedures.

Over height adjustable solutions that can be changed by motor, wheelchair users have very easy to operate the interactive screens. Through the use of touch screens, the public can be intuitively advised, ideal for those who are not used to working with computers. The fact that all devices, such as card readers, printers or document scanners, are integrated in the device itself, completely secured processes are possible.

In case of problems or extended consultation, the citizen can establish a connection by phone or videoconferencing to a call center, thus obtaining a human contact person. With the terminals, citizens are given the opportunity to communicate directly with the administration, without increasing the administrative costs. These new virtual bureaus can be placed not only in official buildings, but also in shopping centers, universities or in public places.

Industry

A terminal always welcomes its visitors with an easy-to-navigate user interface. In case you need an access card to enter the building, you can request and print it yourself. Friendlyway terminals are designed to help control the control by allowing only those people who have successfully identified themselves. We are relieved of finding friendlyway terminals when we enter a building, commercial area or an unmanageable place.

Within buildings, visitors are constantly informed about important news. The friendlyway terminals are easily able to control other screens (e.g., large plasma, TFT displays, or projector presentations), e.g. Impressive multimedia content. For example, terminals are perfect as routing systems that display the simplest way to reach the chosen destination, both dynamically on the screen and printed on paper

  • Students can read their own e-mails through the university terminals, and thus learn important information at an early stage. You can browse the Internet or only in the university’s own network to get the information relevant to the lecture.

Museum

Terminals can especially support museums to explain the medium of art, archeology or other exhibits interactively. Depending on the application area, there are many possibilities.

At the entrance:
Via interactive touch screen menus, visitors can easily buy tickets, eg. Processing of group tickets or special tariffs (for example by means of identity card scanner). Use of cash, EC card or credit card. Printing the tickets on specialty paper, or using the 3-dimensional barcode on plain paper (counterfeit-proof alternative). When buying a ticket, a selection of specific museum areas can be made, which can be checked by scanner systems. Terminals can automatically offer recommendations. Separate screens can show videos or animations to the current exhibition, and the current prices or offers due to a low visitor volume.

Inside:
Terminals can inform visitors about the properties of the exhibited works within the halls. If only a part of the museum has been exhibited, the non-existent pieces can be exhibited interestingly and interactively via the terminals. Terminals can have didactically prepared explanations about the archaeological work, the restoration work. Parallel to the current contents, information for the successor exhibitions can be shown. Visitors who are particularly interested in specific information can register at the nearest terminal of the object (via the through-ticket) and receive it by e-mail. Visitors can make real orders at the terminal, and these may be e.g. At the exit (for art prints, CDs or printouts of information). Visitors can send greeting cards with the subject of the object to friends, which can then be invited to the exhibition.

Outside:
Visitors can be asked for suggestions for improvement, and the museum can further improve the experience, for schools, the terminals can carry out knowledge surveys to check the knowledge and then print out a list of the points for the entire class. Visitors can use the opportunity to read their e-mail, send electronic postcards or video mails as friends or relatives.

Health and pharmaceuticals

In hospitals, the optimal and cost-effective care of patients is the most important, and terminals are an optimal way to achieve this goal. Through terminals, visitors and patients can very easily get in contact, and the availability in several languages makes registration or other processes easy. In this way, administration can be significantly relieved. The systems help with the orientation in the buildings, and can indicate by minute support, by means of digital door signs, which space is occupied for which activity.

The visitor can, if necessary, print out the way to the patient, and no longer has to look for the unknown building. In certain waiting areas, the terminals can display the areas of activity of the physicians and even refer to the information from the Internet. In this way, patients are informed about the lump sums which have been binding on the hospitals for some time (G-DRG system). As the lump sums still cause a lot of discomfort, the systems can provide an optimal information supply for the patients. If new dates are planned, they can also be booked via terminals and confirmed immediately. With the new health card, the processes can safely be processed in the future.

At the hospital bed, the interactive information systems show special strengths. The patient can inform about the hospital services, book food in advance, watch TV, and even make phone calls. The invoicing is done via your own hospital card or health card. The information required for the patient, such as dietary guidelines, or gymnastics information can also be displayed. A combined TFT / plasma display can be used to control certain content such as television on the opposite wall. Via terminals, questions can be asked directly to the hospital, so they are immediately passed on at low cost. If a patient is expected to visit, restaurants, hotels or shopping centers can be found nearby.

Gas station

Petrol stations are a place with high public transport, but a relatively short dwell time. Moreover, in the last few years, the supply of goods, which is not directly related to the tank operation, has increased considerably. The service station is thus a suitable place for digital signage and interactive kiosk applications.

It can be advertised with screens for the product offer and thus additional sales can be generated. Mobile service providers can address a wide audience in the service station for additional services that would otherwise have to go into a telecom special shop. With interactive terminals, customers can easily contact or advise. With Internet terminals, prospective customers can explore the surroundings of the petrol station and thus also orient themselves to tourism.

Seasonally can be advertised for special services of the service station, e.g. For changing the summer / winter tires or for fitness programs for the car. You can install terminals that can be used to purchase Kinokarten, Theaterkarten or similar.

Car trade

The biggest problem of car dealerships (but also real estate companies, travel agencies, etc.) is the optimal presentation of the complex product offer. With terminals, the complex product range can be optimally presented, with the support of multi-media content such as videos, animations or music. Through interaction, the product catalog becomes a product experience – the customer experiences the product world on his own. The terminals allow for a low contact threshold so that the customer is able to deal with the products without a too motivated vendor could scare him.

Touchscreens enable them to be interactively experienced – even for people who are rather unfamiliar with computers. Of course, the interactive application and the screen design have to be optimally designed and the years of experience of friendlyway in the field of interaction / automotive is decisive. Depending on the customer’s wishes or ideas, certain products can be highlighted.

The systems support the customer loyalty system optimally, as points can also be managed and converted into premiums. In the automotive sector, lead management is particularly important for new customers (especially for cars such as the IAA or Geneva Autosalon). Even customer cards that guarantee exclusive services such as lounges can offer attractive add-on services in interactive terminals (for example, vouchers for events, test drives, etc.)

With an interactive touch screen, and at attractive locations, the products can be optimally presented 24 hours, 7 days a week. By complementing large displays, you can show spectacular videos, such as Emotional car trips. Attractive locations such as airports, conference centers or shopping centers allow you to reach and manage many new customers.
