Sand Studio, an enterprise mobile device management provider, has introduced a kiosk mode function to its AirDroid Business MDM solution, according to a press release.
The feature enables users to turn any Android mobile device into a kiosk and manage it remotely, with the ability to maintain and customize software deployment through the cloud-based AirDroid Business admin control center.
«We developed kiosk mode in response to a strong demand for the capabilities to remotely manage kiosk devices within the already well-equipped AirDroid Business suite,» Anson Shiong, CEO of Sand Studio, said in the release. «Our customers wanted a feature that would enable them to remotely manage their kiosks, from locking devices for a specific function, customizing device interface, to monitoring kiosk status, all without having to physically visit the kiosks or incur the cost of sending out a technician.»
With the increasing costs of establishing and running a digital kiosk business ranging from $6,000 to $30,000, AirDroid Business' Kiosk mode is designed to shift the view business owners have on digital kiosks as a viable investment for their business, as well as reducing the running and maintenance costs for businesses that already utilize digital kiosks at part of business operations.
«We've worked on removing the need for businesses to invest large amounts of capital to integrate digital kiosks, like ad signage, interactive ordering kiosks and information stations, into their business operations. Now, AirDroid Business users have the ability to turn any Android mobile device, like a tablet, within their network into a digital kiosk or billboard,» said Shiong.
The AirDroid Business kiosk mode enables users to remotely manage their kiosks with capabilities for complete branding customization, device access settings, password protection so devices can't be tampered with, and app whitelisting, where only whitelisted apps are visible on the app.
