Today's government organizations are using kiosks to give citizens better service and support, and ultimately, a lower-cost government. In a networked environment, "client" services can easily be delivered via a touch-enhanced workstation in libraries, the post office, other government offices, or even high-traffic areas such as shopping malls. Local officials can easily conduct surveys and solicit local opinions safely and securely from a public access kiosk-unattended, if required-with touchscreens that are resistant to public abuse, such as scratches or dirt. In fact, no matter how busy or demanding the location, an Elo touchscreen never tires, and delivers consistent service to users.

Elo rear-mount touchmonitors for kiosks are the industry's first sealed touchmonitors designed specifically for kiosk applications. With a custom-designed chassis and sealed bezel surface, versatile Elo rear-mount touchmonitors integrate easily into your kiosk design. The touchmonitor can be mounted from its front or base, eliminating the need to specify and purchase brackets and supports. Elo also maintains fixed outside dimensions of the rear-mount touchmonitor much longer than the average plastic-case monitor manufacturer, reducing the chance you will need to redesign your kiosk around a monitor component change.

Elo countertop/desktop touchmonitors and touchcomputers are perfect for a wide range of government kiosk applications where cost, mobility, and flexibility are top criteria. Countertop/desktop displays can fit into 25-50% of the footprint of a freestanding kiosk enclosure. Interactive displays can easily be moved around to meet changes in floor space layouts. They come packaged in different form factors designed to be placed on existing fixtures such as shelving, countertops, or customer service desks.

Kiosk touch products are available with a host of touch technologies. Surface wave is the most widely used touch technology for kiosk applications. If the application is CRT based, iTouch touch-on-tube technology provides the best set of features, including superior optical and image quality along with resistance to scratches, breakage and vandalism. For LCD products, IntelliTouch overlay touchscreens are widely used. SecureTouch technology provides an additional measure of resistance to breakage and vandalism because of its tempered glass construction. CarrollTouch infrared technology is the best choice for outdoor kiosks that may be exposed to harsh weather conditions and may require the combination of watertight sealing, optical performance, and vandal resistance.

Elo also provides a broad array of custom touchmonitor and touchcomputer manufacturing services. Elo's Custom Solutions are a great resource for your specialized touch requirements.
