Kiosk Worker Catalog Multi-Vendor

Westminster, CO September 2020 — The kiosk association (KMA) is proud to announce the first multi-vendor kiosk solution catalog for COVID-related kiosk “worker” solutions. Over twenty different solutions related to COVID and Temperature are available for purchase. CAKCEK, our authorized distributor, has been actively bidding this catalog of solutions in various RFPs in the SLED and Federal markets. Put qualified technology to work for you.

Compliance Issues

Temperature kiosks come with a Certificate of Compliance regarding sensor accuracy. They are designed and manufactured by members which meet the KMA ADA conformance requirements in ADA, Accessibility, FDA, and PCI to name some of the relevant regulatory issues. Kiosks solutions manufactured primarily in the US are available.  Members from the UK and Germany with offices in the U.S. also are available.
ada KIOSK CERTIFICATION

CAKCEK has been established as the authorized distributor for KMA conformance solutions. The owner of CAKCEK, Craig Keefner says, “We’ve been monitoring the temperature and thermal imaging market closely. The proliferation of Chinese-origin devices with undisclosed components both software and hardware into this market has been disconcerting at best. Almost all of those units come with facial recognition, artificial intelligence, and a general inattention to regulatory and legal issues. This raises serious liability issues, especially for healthcare-oriented deployments, down the road as well as the general health concerns of false positives. By offering a catalog of KMA approved choices our first priority is to inform and educate buyers in the marketplace.”

FAQ Questions

Our brochure includes a set of 23 questions that you should be asking before any purchase. Examples include:

  1. Many Chinese kiosks facial recognition use blacklisted Chinese tech firms.  This is a distinct liability for deployers in health care industry.
  2.  Chinese-made relabeled units are marked up anywhere from 100% to 600% and can be reviewed at Alibaba.
  3. Have you read the FDA enforcement letter and understand it? We have a FAQ. It appears that the window of forgiveness is starting to contract introducing liabilities
  4. We recommend opinion post on Chinese software for more background.

Security Issues

Most of the Chinese-origin units employ facial recognition in concert with inexpensive thermopile temperature sensor. The technology employs algorithms and server connections from blacklisted Chinese tech firms such as Dahua and HKVision. This brings privacy concerns to the forefront.
