Touchscreen Kiosks with Gloves

As the world continues to tackle the COVID-19 pandemic, restaurant operators are faced with the difficult task of taking the right measures to protect employees and guests by using restaurant technology. They have to provide the things guests say will make them feel safer and more ready to come back to dining in. So it has never been more important than today for kiosk operators to ensure touchscreens are cleaned regularly – but the cleaning takes time.

Everyone knows self-order kiosks reduce order inaccuracy, reduce queue and give customers the feeling they are not being rushed to place their order. If the kiosks are now additionally operated with gloves, there is no risk of contamination for each user/customer. Pyramid was quick to address the challenge and provide a kiosk that makes touchscreen operation with gloves possible.

Here projected capacitive touchscreens, which are built in our Pyramid self-service kiosks, have an enormous advantage: In addition to a bare finger, it can also be operated with hygienic/surgical gloves or thin cotton gloves. Non-conductive gloves (commercial rubber gloves and surgical gloves) made of different materials (latex , nitrile, polyethylene, ..) react perfectly to the projected capacitive touch screens.

Thermal Sensing Kiosks

Temperature checks are becoming the new norm and will be part of many public places such as workspace, airports, stations, shops, restaurants, healthcare facilities, schools, universities, conference, concert and sporting venues.

Pyramid Computer and its software partners have developed thermal sensing kiosks to help enterprises comply with new strict health check and social distancing expectations in the current and post-Covid-19 landscape. The kiosk solutions are ensuring privacy and security for all user data, and corporate compliance with global privacy regulations. Combining contactless thermal temperature screening sensors with specific software solutions, the polytouch® kiosks offers a level of public access safety and accuracy that exceeds human-error prone processes. The turn-key market ready solution has an intuitive customizable UI / UX and ID card authentication. A contactless check-in process can be integrated into existing HR systems and can support card scanning and manual inputs as needed.

Self-Checkout Kiosks

Recently, Pyramid Computer delivered self-checkout kiosks to leading food retailers in Germany thereby revolutionizing the customer shopping experience with greater convenience, shorter queues and improved service. Since there was no comparable/matching SCO product on the market, Pyramid Computer developed a solution tailored specifically to its client. The kiosks are designed in such a way that different payment modules and checkouts can be used depending on the regional company. A scale or hand scanner can also be added as an option. Pyramid's kiosks delivers speed, efficiency and maximum user-friendliness in self-checkout. Pyramid's Polytouch® Portal is designed so that every transaction can be processed in seconds, which dramatically increases the efficiency of the payment process.

Smart Fitting Room

Our Smart Fitting Room solution offers innovative services for consumers as well as valuable insights into customer preferences. Our Polytouch® interactive mirror helps converting regular fitting rooms into smart ones. The magic mirror is fitted with an RFID reader automatically detecting the items a customer takes in to try on. RFID tags are attached to price labels which transfer data to the Mirror. In combination with an RFID based stock management system the customer would only be shown currently available sizes on the mirror. By cutting down the number of visits to the fitting room per customer and reducing the lines, customers will experience a much more efficient and less frustrating shopping journey. For a fashion retailer, the fitting room is the key touchpoint for converting customers into buyers. Our smart fitting room solution offers the potential for real customer interaction and to gain additional competitive advantage by meeting the exact wants and needs of today’s shoppers.
