Computing Platform
Every kiosk runs on an Android industrial-grade mainboard with an integrated 21.5-inch multi-touch display. This is purpose-built hardware designed for 24/7 unattended operation — not a repurposed consumer tablet or a hobbyist single-board computer.
Why Android Industrial Boards?
| Aspect | Consumer Tablet | Android Industrial Board |
|---|---|---|
| Designed for | Intermittent use | 24/7 unattended operation |
| Thermal tolerance | 0–35°C | -20–70°C typical |
| Touchscreen | Capacitive, outdoor-glare prone | Industrial capacitive, sunlight-readable options |
| Power management | Battery-dependent | Direct DC power, no battery degradation |
| Reliability | Restarts, app crashes over time | Watchdog timers, auto-recovery |
| Longevity | 2–3 years | 5–7+ years with consistent supply |
AWS Cloud Infrastructure
The management dashboard and all kiosk-to-cloud communication runs on Amazon Web Services (AWS) — the same infrastructure trusted by Netflix, Airbnb, and Commonwealth Bank.
- 99.99% uptime SLA — Your dashboard is always available
- Australian region hosting — Data stays local, low latency
- Automatic scaling — Handles peak demand without slowdowns
- Enterprise security — Encrypted connections, SOC 2 compliant
- Real-time sync — Kiosks push data to the dashboard in seconds, not minutes
Remote Management Built In
Because the system is cloud-native:
- Over-the-air updates — New features and security patches delivered automatically
- Remote diagnostics — We can see what’s happening before you call
- Configuration push — Product changes, pricing updates, and machine settings sync instantly across all kiosks
- No on-site IT required — Venue staff never touch the kiosk software
Customisation Options
Every venue is different. Our kiosks are built-to-order, not off-the-shelf — you get exactly what your facility needs.
Custom Planogram & Layout
- Custom locker configurations — We design the planogram (cell sizes, layout, arrangement) to match your equipment mix. Need wider cells for padel rackets? Taller compartments for squash bags? Done.
- Bespoke compartment sizing — Not locked to one cell size. Mix small cells (balls, grips, accessories) with large cells (racket bags, full kits) in the same cabinet.
Colours & Branding
- Custom colours — Match your venue’s brand colours. Not just a sticker — the cabinet finish can be colour-matched.
- Decals & wraps — Full-body vinyl decals with your logo, sponsor branding, or venue artwork. Kiosks that look good get used more.
- Custom branding: From $500 AUD + GST
- Premium finish options: From $300 AUD + GST
Material Quality
- Polycarbonate windows — Not glass. Polycarbonate is 250× more impact-resistant than glass, won’t shatter, and stays clear after years of use.
- Industrial-grade FM levelling casters — Stable on any surface. Lock in place or reposition as needed.
Built for Australia’s Climate
Australian summers are brutal. Our kiosks are engineered to handle extreme heat and harsh indoor/sheltered conditions that would kill consumer-grade equipment. Important: our kiosks are not waterproof. They must be installed under a roof or shelter, protected from rain, splashing, and direct water exposure.
Thermal Management
- Rear ventilation system — Active heat dissipation through rear vents keeps internal electronics cool even at 40°C+ ambient.
- Rugged industrial design — Built to operate in unconditioned spaces: sports club foyers, indoor courtside areas, sheltered outdoor alcoves. Must be protected from rain and water — not waterproof.
- 110V–240V auto-sensing — Universal power input, stable operation through voltage fluctuations.
Smart LED Lighting
- All LED illumination — Zero heat from lighting, minimal power draw. Stays bright for years without bulb replacements.
- Dusk-to-dawn auto-off — Programmable light schedule: lights off after dark so your kiosk doesn’t become an insect magnet. No mosquitoes, no flies, no moths clustering around the screen at night.
- Ambient light sensor ready — Hardware supports automatic brightness adaptation (configurable per venue).
Connectivity: Never Offline
Your kiosk earns money 24/7 — it needs internet 24/7. We support every connection type so you’re never down.
| Connection | Type | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Ethernet | Wired (default) | Indoor installations with nearby network ports |
| WiFi | Wireless | Flexible placement, guest network isolation |
| 4G LTE | Cellular | Standalone operation, no IT dependency |
| 5G | Cellular | Future-proof, ultra-low latency |
| Starlink | Satellite | Remote venues, rural locations, backup link |
Redundancy: Combine any two — e.g., Ethernet primary + 4G LTE failover. Your kiosk stays online even if the venue WiFi goes down.
FAQ: Hardware Deep-Dive
Can I customise the locker layout for different equipment sizes?
Yes. We design the planogram to your specifications — mix large cells for racket bags with small cells for balls and accessories in the same cabinet.
What colours are available?
Any RAL colour. We colour-match to your venue’s brand palette. Combined with custom decals, your kiosk can carry your full venue identity.
Can the kiosk survive outdoors in Australian summer?
Yes — for heat. Our kiosks have rear ventilation for active heat dissipation, industrial-grade components rated for high ambient temperatures, and are deployed in unconditioned spaces across Australia. However, they are not waterproof — must be installed under shelter, protected from rain and direct water.
Does the lighting attract insects at night?
No. Our LED lighting system can be programmed to auto-off at dusk. When lights are off, insects have no reason to congregate. During the day, LED lights produce negligible UV — far less attractive than fluorescent alternatives.
Can I use Starlink for internet?
Yes. Any standard internet connection works — Ethernet, WiFi, 4G/5G mobile data, or Starlink satellite. For rural and remote venues, Starlink is a fully supported option.
