PROVISIO GmbH was visited by Zoe, Pauline and Dexter at the Münster site. In short texts, the three describe what they experienced that day:

Dexter, 12 years old, said:

‘I was at PROVISIO GmbH on Girls and Boys Day and saw a lot: for example, a lift-and-learn solution and a chip system. With the lift-and-learn devices, you could lift an Eiffel Tower and a possible trip to Paris was shown on the kiosk display. The chip system was about how to log in and out as an employee or what to press when taking a break. We then went to the offices of the individual employees. We met marketing staff, software developers and programmers. The online shop and important things in accounting were explained to us. Finally, we met the boss. He explained to us how everything works here and what he does.’

Zoe, 14 years old, reported:

‘First, the company founder showed us some examples of how to make transfers, i.e. how the money is transferred when a product is purchased. We then looked at an interactive kiosk solution and also created our own project. We then took a tour of the company and learnt which tasks are carried out in which offices. These included the design office, the marketing department and the development area, where scripts are written and software bugs are fixed. We also looked at how the website is designed and how to buy a licence in the online shop.’

Pauline, aged 14, added:

‘We have trialled a terminal where employees can sign in and out with a chip. It shows how long they have already worked that day and which employees are not there.’

Thank you for your visit and we look forward to Girls’ and Boys’ Day 2025!

They discussed and debated how the SiteKiosk Online software could be used even more effectively in the retail market in order to fulfil the current and future needs and requirements of market players and customers.

The main topics at EuroCIS included digitalisation in the retail sector, the introduction of new innovations in the area of checkout systems and payment technologies. The increased use of RFID technologies and the integration of additional hardware into current systems for improved customer analytics were also discussed.

Our SiteKiosk Online kiosk software can be customised precisely to meet the wide range of checkout and payment system requirements and at the same time enables tamper-proof operation of the devices used.

The now available update to Version 1.4 must therefore be initiated manually one last time. Subsequently, all future versions can be performed directly through the automatic update function.

Additionally, the pages for the machine log and team auditing have been redesigned, now allowing filtering and searching for specific entries.

Two new menu designs have been added as project templates. These are available in both vertical and horizontal variants.

For accurate analysis, the Playlog for pop-ups must now be exclusively enabled in its properties. In previous versions, this was implicitly counted.

Pop-ups can be manually positioned instead of always being centered.

Furthermore, various bugs have been fixed, and technical optimizations have been implemented.

The year 2023 is drawing to a close, the festive Christmas period and a new year 2024 lie ahead of us. We would like to take this opportunity to thank you on behalf of the entire PROVISIO and SiteKiosk Online team!

We can look back on a successful year in which we mastered many challenges together, implemented innovative kiosk applications and made many (new) customers happy. It is fascinating to see how versatile, creative and effective our kiosk software is used in a wide variety of environments, areas and scenarios!

In 2023, we celebrated the first anniversary of our new kiosk software SiteKiosk Online. For us, this small anniversary is a major milestone and a real reason to celebrate!

The high product quality and the wide-ranging application possibilities of SiteKiosk Online are the focus of our motivation.  For the coming year 2024, many more innovations and features are already in the starting blocks that will further improve SiteKiosk Online.

We look forward to an exciting and successful 2024 together with you!

A core function of SiteKiosk Online is the effective protection of digital kiosk applications against manipulation and system outages. As software, SiteKiosk Online also takes over the design, centralised management and real-time monitoring of the digital media technology used. In combination with fire protection-optimised and certified digital info displays from gekartel AG, there are many new possible uses for digital media technology in sensitive areas such as public spaces. Digital building panels in the housing and property industry are among these applications and are installed in sensitive areas such as entrance areas, stairwells or escape routes.

The German company gekartel AG has focussed on the fire hazard potential and the risk of fire arising from digital media technology. On the one hand, components such as a light metal housing with a very low fire load are used. An expert opinion from MPA Dresden GmbH certifies that there is no increased fire load due to the fire protection monitors with touch. In accordance with DIN EN 13823 and DIN EN 13501, complete fulfilment of all criteria for the classification of non-combustible and flame-retardant building materials (for building material class A2-S1, D0 or B-S1, D0) has been certified. In addition, gekartel has added the first VdS 6024-certified series devices with device-integrated fire protection to its product portfolio.

Classified as electrical appliances, digital domestic panels entail an increased risk of fire. Around 33% of all building fires are caused by electrical appliances. This percentage is the leading cause of fire. This risk of causing a fire makes the digital whiteboard a potential source of danger, which in the worst case can lead to major building fires and thus endanger human life.

In close cooperation with JOB GmbH, a device-integrated self-extinguishing system was therefore developed for the Digital House Panel, the main component of which is the «smallest fire extinguisher in the world», the E-Bulb from the JOB Group.

The extinguishing system consists of a small ampoule filled with extinguishing agent that bursts at a certain trigger temperature, releasing the extinguishing agent in the housing and extinguishing the fire immediately. At the same time, the power supply in the appliance is interrupted.

The integrated fire extinguishing system therefore enables fire protection-compliant operation of digital house panels in sensitive areas in accordance with VdS 6024. This significantly minimises the risk of a device fire in escape and rescue routes, for example, and virtually eliminates the risk of fire spreading through electrical devices.

In order to minimise the time between updates and to be able to publish bug fixes and service content more quickly, we are now following a new update structure:
This separates service and bug fixing updates from the large feature and function update packages. From now on, version number-related service updates will be published with the aim of fixing minor problems and errors within the current version.

This new update structure enables us to fix faulty processes within the current SiteKiosk Online version with pinpoint accuracy and at the same time optimise the use of the software.

The latest service update for version 1.3.10046 is now available and contains the following content:

SiteKiosk Online V1.3.10046 (Bugfix & Service Release)

– Electron to version 27 with chromium 118.0.5993.89
– Fixed Smart Kiosk Control not generating a new QR-Code after logout
– Fixed project publish not working in some rare cases
– Improved the design of the licensing boxes on the dashboard
– Various bug fixes and optimizations

The next feature update for SiteKiosk Online version 1.4 is scheduled for January 2024.

In close cooperation between the Erwin Hymer Group and SiteKisok Online, a modern and secure kiosk solution was developed to display the diverse content appropriately and precisely on the 44 info steles set up and to manage them at the same time.

This case study provides insights into how SiteKiosk Online can digitise, monitor and even positively influence the communication concept of trade fair exhibitors. It also shows how SiteKiosk Online can be used to provide the many info terminals with various contents, monitor them during use and protect them from manipulation.
