Palmer Digital Group Ships First Battery-Powered Kiosk Solutions

Palmer Digital Group has started shipping its first battery-powered kiosk for retail and hospitality environments including QSRs and fast casual restaurants.

Previewed at the National Restaurant Association Show in May, the kiosk provides a highly sustainable and portable options for indoor and outdoor environments while retaining the rugged durability and exceptional craftsmanship of PDG’s DC-powered kiosks and digital menu boards.

Available in single- or dual-sided configurations, PDG's new Digital Portable Poster Stands across empower businesses to showcase products and services in any scenario. With four screen size options (24, 32, 43 and 50-inch), long battery life, diverse color options and a selection of portable casters, the kiosks are built for presentation and mobility in versatile promotional applications. That includes dynamic retail environments such as popups, experiential activations (such as museums and exhibits), or even scheduled audience gatherings for tradeshows and live events.

The long battery life is the most valuable benefit for customers, offering up to 24 hours of juice and quick-charge capability for immediate deployment. Safety and dependability are also paramount with the choice of specialised, eco-friendly batteries that offer wide temperature tolerance, low toxicity and an extended lifespan with more than 3000 charge cycles.

That battery life, along with its smooth mobility and sturdy structure, also raises opportunities for retailers to gather data on customer journeys. That application is supported through a wireless occupancy sensor built into the base of the kiosk that help businesses generate actionable insights by monitoring dwell time and passing traffic, while informing merchandising decisions. "Businesses can gather this data within a five-to-50-foot radius, and when appropriate, easily move and reposition to new strategic positions that capture the typical customer’s path through the store," said Chuck Lewis, Vice President, Palmer Digital Group.

Lewis added that the ability to use different casters makes it viable for movement across standard floors inside as well as outdoor concrete or blacktop surfaces. There also the ability to quickly lock down the wheels for a more permanent or multi-day position where heavy foot traffic. The structure also supports built-in speakers for accompanying audio tracks to the visual presentations, supported through LTE mobile connectivity, WiFi networks, or optional media players.

PDG will also offer customised screen options to support touch-enabled applications such as mobile ordering and wayfinding, as well as high-brightness displays (1000-3000 nits) for optimised performance in direct sunlight.
