As self-service equipment evolves & expands into new application areas, ensuring the security of this equipment is essential to protect kiosk contents & the personal data of users.
From point of sale (POS) self-service touch screen supermarket checkouts, information points, airport check-in kiosks & parcel collection lockers, to temperature readers following COVID-19, our reliance on self-service technology has never been higher.
Increased Demand Of Self-Service Equipment
As a result of the increasing demand of consumer electronics & rising adoption of touchscreen in commercial applications & kiosks, the global touch panel market was valued at US $59.06 billion in 2019 & is projected to reach US $137.19 billion by 2027.
The importance Of Intelligent Security
Stand-alone kiosks feature expensive equipment & are located in a wide range of locations, often unattended. They can store valuable products, give access to valuable services & utilise technology to capture personal & financial information. As they are connected to corporate transaction networks they are susceptible to hackers.

EAS that incorporate electronic locking & access control devices offer a proven & easy way to add physical security to self-service kiosks without interrupting industrial design.
