Wireless Ronin Technologies has announced the expansion of its digital signage relationship with ARAMARK to include ARAMARK's newly launched Burger Studio brand through its Higher Education division.
Through the partnership, Wireless Ronin will provide the hardware and RoninCast digital signage software for digital menu boards and touchscreen ordering kiosks. The Burger Studio kiosks allow college students to build their own burgers and customize them with more than 30 topping options.

Once the order is complete, the kiosk prints a receipt while another order receipt prints in the kitchen area.

ARAMARK plans to open additional locations through the remainder of 2009 and early next year.
Wireless Ronin has worked with ARAMARK over the past year providing digital signage solutions for multiple ARAMARK divisions, including Healthcare, Business Dining Service, K-12 and Higher Education.

Kiosk hardware and software provider Source Technologies has announced the addition of Software-as-a-Service, or SaaS, as a delivery model for its portfolio of printing solutions.
According to a news release from the company, the software is called Software-as-a-Service for Secure Print and enables users to securely print documents with centralized administration and control.
Source Technologies says its new delivery method requires lower acquisition costs compared to traditional software solutions, and Doug Salvador, Source's vice president of marketing, says that value proposition will appeal to strapped business operators:
With today's economic climate, organizations are facing extremely tight capital expenditure budgets, yet their mission-critical projects must continue. Taking advantage of our service-oriented solution lowers the cost of ownership for these projects and gives organizations the opportunity to reallocate funds to other areas of their business.
Source Technologies says the software-delivery method is built on Web-based technology, making it easy to configure and keep current, and that the solution is ideal for printing checks and negotiable documents, healthcare and employee forms, information- or time-sensitive documents, prescriptions, shipping labels, invoices and distribution pick tickets.

REDONDO BEACH, Calif. — Unicomp Corp. of America will showcase automated registration processing Oct. 19–22 at the MGMA Annual Conference in San Diego.
Using the IMPOWER core platform and automated registration engine, Unicomp developers have created a touchscreen interface and established the POWERstation Kiosk to enable self-service patient registration.
The POWERstation Kiosk integrates and shares data with any practice management and electronic medical record system through HL7 messaging protocol and ODBC connectivity, without requiring a custom interface. Authorization and consent-form signatures are electronically captured and sealed in a HIPAA-compliant digital-document format. Optical character recognition technology converts insurance card and driver's license information into digital patient data and stores images of the documents in patient-centric folders for accessibility locally or from remote offices. Insurance eligibility is verified in real-time over the Internet, allowing co-pay and deductible requirements to be determined. Credit-card payments are collected, and immediately processed electronically, before medical services are rendered.
Unicomp selected SeePoint Technology's secure kiosk systems, which include fully integrated duplex card scanners, electronic signature pads, magnetic card readers, HIPAA privacy filters and AEGIS Antimicrobial treatments proven to be effective against MRSA and a wide range of bacteria, fungi and harmful microbes.
"SeePoint's integrated hardware is a great fit to display and drive our POWERstation Patient Registration Kiosk application. The units contain all the devices needed to drive our software solutions, and they protect all cables, ports and wires from the public," said Andy Kaplan, president of Unicomp Corp. of America. "They are a great partner to work with as they are responsive and their units are manufactured specifically for healthcare facilities."

LAS VEGAS — Flextronics, a $30 billion global electronics company, has announced a new venture to help speed the deployment of self-service applications. The program, called “Jumpstart,” offers companies a set of software plug-ins and hardware components preconfigured for faster, more effective rollouts.
Flextronics introduced its “Jumpstart” initiative on day one of KioskCom Self Service Expo in Las Vegas.
“We want to bring to market a product that will help jumpstart businesses,” said Andrew Block, senior director of Flextronics’ Self Service Solutions Group. “And we hope to jumpstart not just the product, but the industry as well.”
Block said that the self-service industry is confronting a quality problem. Not only are kiosks with poor usability being misused to premature deaths, manufacturing processes are not cranking out reliable machines. And when users encounter down kiosks, the whole industry suffers. One remedy, Block said, is to bring some consistency to the design and building of machines.
Block said that since acquiring WebRaiser Technologies and Solectron, Flextronics has benefited from the unification of self-service resources, thus becoming a major player in the industry. The acquisition made Flextronics the world’s second-largest electronics manufacturing and self-service powerhouse, trailing only Taiwan-based Hon Hai Precision Industry Co. in terms of annual sales, according to Forbes.
Headquartered in Singapore, with 20,000 employees in dozens of locations around the world, Flextronics helps customers design, build, ship and service electronics products, including kiosks, through a network of facilities in 30 countries on four continents.
