Outdoor Kiosk Overview
KIOSK Information Systems has designed and manufactured hundreds of the most widely recognized outdoor self-service solutions in package delivery, transportation, entertainment, theatres, amusement parks, stadiums, and resorts. Many successful deployments have leveraged KIOSK’s niche outdoor expertise to provide attractive, functional designs that are both durable and corrosion-resistant with proper placement and care. Over the past 25+ years, KIOSK has developed specific outdoor standards, including:

For all outdoor projects, KIOSK’s best practices recommendation is for platforms to undergo weather resistance testing. Contracted external unit testing services through KIOSK’s established partners assess the degree of exposure to the elements the kiosks need to withstand. Typical protocols include extreme hot and cold temperatures and water intrusion testing which evaluate the unit’s ability to withstand exposure to relevant conditions.
