RoboSpa terminals

Two kiosks: a compact one for the wall, a large one on a stand.

The terminals are our own development — the housing, the board and the software. The compact one goes into a wall: a 10-inch screen, cards and coins. The large one stands on its own: a 17-inch screen, it takes notes as well and gives change. The software is the same on both.

RoboSpa Kiosk Compact

RoboSpa Kiosk Compact

Compact, for wall mounting

Our own build. It recesses into a wall or a column and takes up no more room than a control panel. It accepts cards, phones and coins, and the computer inside holds the programmes, the prices and the link to the machine — no separate cabinet, no external PC.

  • Cards, phones and coins
  • Built-in industrial PC
  • 10″ screen, 1000 nits — readable in direct sun

RoboSpa Kiosk Stand

RoboSpa Kiosk Stand

Large, on its own stand

A bigger machine on its own pedestal: a 17-inch screen against the compact's 10-inch. Besides cards and coins it takes banknotes and gives change, so it copes on its own where there is no till nearby — a car park, a barrier, a site with no staff.

How it is built

From drawing to the finished machine

These terminals were not bought in and repainted. Here they are as drawings, opened up, photographed on the factory floor — and finally as they arrive on site.

The large terminal as a drawing — front and back, with the pedestal and the anchor plate.

The screen

What stands on the terminal

Frames from a terminal in service, not mock-ups. One screen — the advert on the left, what the driver came for on the right.

The programmes and the prices

The programmes and the prices

While the bay is busy, the top says why there is a wait, and under it stand the four programmes with their prices and what each one includes. Bottom right, the QR leads to the app: subscription, discounts and paying from the phone. The language changes from the header.

The advert changes

The advert changes

The left half is an advertising slot. Same screen, a different partner — changed remotely, with nobody driving out to the site. While the car is being washed, that slot is watched by a driver with nowhere to hurry.

Applications

One machine, six applications.

The terminal does the same thing everywhere: it takes the money, reads the plate, closes a relay and prints a receipt. The rest is configuration — which is why the same housing earns its keep in places that have nothing to do with washing cars.

Car washes

Starts a programme on a gantry, counts minutes on self-service and vacuums, and takes subscriptions and loyalty. The camera recognises the car and offers the programme it bought last time.

Car parks

The plate is read on the way in and the fee is worked out on the way out. No ticket, no barcode, no lost slip of paper. Season-ticket holders drive through without stopping.

Access control

Barriers and gates at company yards, residential complexes and warehouses. The plate list is kept in the portal, and visitors get a one-time code.

See more

EV charging

On-the-spot payment for a driver without the operator's app. It releases the charger, bills by time or by kilowatt-hour, and prints a receipt.

See more

Launderettes

One column for the whole room: pick a machine, start it, pay by coin or card, and see how long is left on each.

Campsites and marinas

Electricity, water and showers billed by time or by consumption. The column stands outside all year and works when reception is closed.

Worked example

A monthly parking subscription, start to finish with no staff

The most expensive thing in a car park is not the barrier — it is the person who issues passes, keeps a ledger and opens the gate by hand. Here is how that goes away.

  1. 1

    The driver scans the code on the column, picks a monthly plan and pays by card. Their plate joins the list the same minute.

  2. 2

    Next time in, the camera reads the plate and the barrier lifts without the car stopping. There is no card to forget and no pass to issue.

  3. 3

    A month later the card is charged automatically. If it is declined, the driver gets a notification and a link to add a new one — nobody walks to a booth.

  4. 4

    If they stop paying, the plate drops off the list that day and the barrier simply does not lift. Nobody takes a pass back and nobody argues.

  5. 5

    A one-day visitor pays at the column itself — coins, a note or a card, with change given. Subscribers and casual drivers use the same entrance.
