Instill Safety & Peace of Mind as Travel Reopens

February 22, 2021 By Stephen McKay Leave a Comment

Over the past year, our daily lives have become increasingly focused on the health and safety of ourselves and those around us. With the importance of face coverings and frequent hand washing, it’s essential to clean a clean environment for each and every hotel guest and staff member. When soap and water are not readily available, the CDC encourages the use of hand sanitizer with at least 60 perfect alcohol upon entry of a public space. As a key measure in protecting yourself and others, frequent hand sanitation provides a safer public environment by keeping germs under control.

With Digital Signage Hand Sanitizing Units from RC Stars, the safety of guests and staff is a top priority. The auto-dispensers provide touchless sanitation while displaying customizable information and graphics, bringing convenience and cleanliness to any hotel space. With metal body housing, tempered protection glass, and water-resistant casing, Digital Hand Sanitizing Units from RC Stars provide top-of-the-line construction in a sleek exterior. Available in both freestanding and wall-mounted dispensers, the kiosks are equipped with Remote Management Software, delivering content updates to your web browser when sanitizer levels are running low.

Freestanding vs. Wall-Mounted Units

Ideal for high-traffic locations, the 21.5-inch freestanding model stands seamlessly in any space. The kiosk is maneuverable and can be reconfigured to assist with traffic slow and sanitation, providing lobbies guests with convenient access to hand sanitation.

Perfect for smaller areas, the 21.5-inch wall-mounted unit is an excellent choice for saving space. With a sleek, contemporary design and durable construction, this kiosk is a health-conscious addition to any wall.

The Best Places to Use Your Digital Signage Hand Sanitizing Unit

Digital Signage Hand Sanitizing Units from RC Stars are an excellent addition to any hotel lobby. With customizable text and images, the kiosk provides guests with hotel news and information while encouraging proper hand sanitation. Ideal for high traffic areas, the freestanding unit allows for frequent reconfiguration to assist with traffic flow, guaranteeing a simple and sanitary experience for guests upon entry.

Fitness Centers

With zero-contact hand sanitation, hand sanitizing units are ideal for a health-conscious fitness center. Available in a freestanding unit for open areas or a wall-mounted unit for confined spaces, these kiosks are perfect for providing guests with important information while encouraging frequent hand sanitation. With customizable information and graphics, digital signage units are ideal for displaying your mask policy, instructions for sanitizing equipment, or simply requiring hand sanitation upon entry. 

Elevator Hallways

With a variety of frequently touched surfaces, it’s important to ensure proper hand sanitation in elevator hallways. With space-saving construction, the wall-mounted digital signage unit delivers convenient, touchless hand sanitation. Equipped with Remote Management Software, each unit delivers content updates to your web browser when sanitizer levels are low, providing easy management of multiple kiosks.

Whether the unit is installed in a lobby, fitness center, or elevator hallway, guests and staff members will enjoy the convenience of digital signage and hand sanitation in a compact, sleek kiosk.

Single Entry Level Screening in the current and post COVID World

October 20, 2020 By John Wills Leave a Comment

Just as the tragedy of 9/11 changed our lives forever, most of us agree the Corona Virus pandemic will be just as impactful.  Not only will businesses and governments slowly and carefully reopen offices and public gathering spaces, and but will be tasked ongoing to provide a “safe place” for employees and customers.  In other words, it won’t just end with this pandemic but rather place a duty of care liability on employers and government well into the distant future.

The practices and methods to best create a safe workplace or public gathering are being explored and implemented.  Almo Corporation endeavors to provide solutions for not only our own operations and employees but for our reseller customers as well.  We have created a basket of Health & Safety products & tools such as PPE, decontaminating “Fogger” Kits, Digital Signage Hand Sanitizer Kiosks, etc.

One set of solutions we offer are single-entry, level 1 triage Temperature Scanning Systems to facilitate a safe entry into a business or public space.  In short, single-entry solutions must provide technology that efficiently supports a safe assessment of a person desiring entry.  In the beginning, we interviewed a number of potential end-users regarding perceived needs in search of a solution.  Two points consistently surfaced.  First, all agreed that they need a solution; and secondly, none of them knew exactly what they needed.

The first point is obvious.  Employers and businesses agree that a safe work or gathering environment is paramount to moving forward in the post COVID-19 world.  This won’t be the last battle we’ll face as a society so having technology that supports a reasonable solution for the present and future is needed.  In response this summer, a “bull rush” of products flooded the market with a myriad of products.  Most of these products performed as designed but are not flexible beyond a “Pass-Fail” assessment.  Some may be able to pass signals to open doors and measure faces with masks on but can’t adapt to new processes or reporting needs.  They are what they are.

Fortunately, the full opening of offices and business have been somewhat delayed giving time to develop and evolve safe entry practices.  The market is anxious to buy yet hesitant to invest in one-trick ponies that won’t provide flexibility down the road as needs change.  Our search focused on finding solutions that not only serve the immediate needs of today but those in the future as well.  Our search has found solutions that not only provide reliable single-entry Level 1 triage body temperature scanning but support processes and reporting as well.  Processes such as matching employee pre-questionnaires with temp scanning and in-out tracking are accommodated.  And back-end reporting for administrative purposes is provided as well.

Our search settled on software platforms functioning on small format touch displays and tablets coupled with a temperature scan facial camera or wrist-sensing arrays.  One such solution uses tablets from Mimo, a manufacturing partner known for high quality displays and tablets with PCAP touch.  They partnered with a software platform from Revel Digital.  These tablets attach the temp scanning arrays via pogo pins.  The pogo pin connection scheme provide USB connectivity and power for the temp scanning arrays.  Revel Digital, in turn, provided the Android-based programming and CMS to not only control the temp scanning process but provide reporting and digital signage capabilities as well.

We have other hardware platforms and hardware solutions to offer our dealers and their end-users.  The key to our solutions is the ability to customize to end-user requirements now and in the future.  We have a team of specialists that can assist dealers in the end-user interviews to determine requirements and solutions.  These are not short sell-cycle hardware solutions.  It includes SaaS (Software as a Service) license fees in addition to hardware purchase.  These solutions can adapt as end-user needs evolve.  Our Almo Sales Reps and Specialists stand ready to start putting solutions together.

What other products can you see businesses needing to implement in order to provide a sense of security to returning workers and customers?

Digital Signage Information

The Digital Signage Federation defines Digital Signage as a network of digital displays that is centrally managed and addressable for targeted information, entertainment, merchandising and advertising. Now Digital Signage means different things to different people. It could be a digital display at a supermarket checkout line showing information about products and promotions; it could be a television in your local deli or pizzeria showing live programming and advertising for businesses in the area; it could be a welcome sign with the day’s events in a hotel lobby; along with a nearly unlimited number of other purposes. Here at Almo Pro A/V we are experts in all areas of Digital Signage. We would be happy to help you with any of your Digital Signage needs. Want to know more about Digital Signage? On this page we have a collection of our blogs all around the topic of digital signage.
