ADA Kiosk – Check-in Kiosks

 

Welcome to ADA Kiosk. Regulatory agencies have a profound effect on the business of self-service. The kiosk industry group monitors ADA and the development & implementation of regulatory bodies and, where possible, we participate in the regulatory process by educating and informing agencies regarding our members & businesses.

A primary source of ADA devices for accessibility is Storm Interface. They also make rugged keyboards and other input devices.

Consulting member firms to help guide you thru the often complex laws include Assistra Technology which provides EZ-Access solution consulting.
