Solutions
In a large building the same questions reach the reception desk all day: where is this department, which floor, how do I get there. Printed directories go out of date as soon as a tenant moves or a room changes use.
A wayfinding kiosk lets visitors search and see a route for themselves. It can help in places such as shopping centres, hospitals, campuses, office buildings and transport hubs, provided the information behind it is kept accurate.
An A to Z of tenants, departments, people or rooms that visitors can search by name or browse by category.
A "you are here" map for each floor, with a route to the destination and a step-free alternative where one exists.
Opening times, events or notices. Live information needs a link to the system that holds it, which is scoped separately.
A QR code can be scoped so that visitors carry the route on their own phone.
The visitor types a name or picks a category from the home screen.
The entry shows the essentials: what it is, where it is and when it is open.
The map draws a route from the kiosk's own position, with a step-free option where the building allows.
After a short period of inactivity the screen returns to the home screen, ready for the next visitor.
Freestanding or wall-mounted touchscreens for entrances, lift lobbies and junctions. Sizes are catalogue-listed from 21.5 inch upwards with 10-point touch, and confirmed for your design with your quotation.
A table-style screen suits site plans that groups gather round, for example in a visitor centre or showroom.
Large-format kiosks with a camera and microphone, for projects that want to explore spoken or avatar-led guidance. The assistant software would be developed for the project. It is not a ready-made product.
Touch is listed as an option for the outdoor display range, so an outdoor directory or site map can be assessed. IP65 is stated for that range and confirmed for the selected model.
A wayfinding screen is judged on whether it is right. Decide who owns the directory, where the master copy lives, and how a tenant move, a renamed department or a closed lift reaches the screen. We scope an editing tool or a data import so that your own staff can make routine changes without a developer. Redrawing maps for a new floor or building is design work.
Multilingual content multiplies the upkeep. Every label, destination and instruction has to be translated and maintained in each language, and longer words or right-to-left scripts affect the layout. Start with the languages your visitors actually use.
What this includes — and what it does not
Kiosk Craft supplies and configures the hardware, and designs and builds wayfinding software around your site. Hardware, software development and ongoing management are quoted separately. Map artwork, translation and data entry are included only where your quotation says so.
No finished wayfinding platform is implied. Links to a room-booking, tenant or transport information system depend on the agreed scope and on what the third party makes available.
Information and wayfinding kiosks
All-in-one touchscreen kiosks from 21.5 to 98 inch in lectern, totem and wall-mounted forms, for wayfinding, directories, check-in and information points.
Touch tables
A touchscreen set flat into a table, so several people can gather round one display. Sizes, height and touch technology are confirmed for your project.
AI interaction kiosks
Large-format 43, 49 and 55 inch touchscreen terminals with camera and microphone options, built to host conversational applications scoped around your business.
Outdoor advertising displays
Outdoor advertising screens from 21.5 to 98 inch in totem, wall and portable forms, with high-brightness panels and cooling options set for each model.
That should be a requirement from the start. We scope an editing tool or a data import so that routine changes, such as a new tenant or a renamed room, can be made by your own team. Changes to the map drawings themselves are design work.
It depends on the scope. A directory and maps can run from data stored on the kiosk and update when a connection is available. Live information, such as room bookings, needs a connection to the system that holds it.
It can be assessed. Touch is listed as an option for the outdoor display range, and IP65 is stated for that range and confirmed for the selected model. Sunlight readability and use with gloves should be part of the discussion.
