Product Presentation
What is Kiosk Mode?
STAROS is a powerful kiosk mode and lockdown solution that enables businesses to comprehensively control and customize self-service kiosks. With flexible modes like media player, browser, full-screen browser, app, and multi-app, companies can tailor the kiosk experience to their needs. STAROS also provides advanced configuration options, including device updates, language selection, and e-commerce-enabled screensavers, further enhancing the customer-facing kiosk experience.
Single App Kiosk Mode
Restrict device access to a single application with single-app kiosk mode. This lockdown configuration, managed by IT, creates dedicated, distraction-free customer touchpoints - whether a web browser for digital signage or a custom business app for POS. By locking the device to one app, you ensure a seamless, focused interaction aligned with your needs, from public kiosks to hospitality services.
Multi App Kiosk Mode
Provide users controlled access to multiple apps and select device settings through multi-app kiosk mode. This kiosk lockdown configuration, defined by IT, enables users to navigate between approved apps while maintaining centralized control. Ideal for businesses requiring combined app functionality or limited device access, multi-app mode offers a tailored self-service experience across sectors like service, education, and logistics.
Browser Kiosk Mode
Browser kiosk mode restricts devices to specific websites or web apps, limiting users to approved informational purposes. Ideal for public settings like libraries, this kiosk lockdown ensures devices are used solely for intended tasks. Each kiosk mode serves unique business needs, balancing security and user experience through tailored functionality. Choosing the right kiosk mode is key to optimal operation and efficiency.
Kiosk Mode Screensaver
Your kiosk devices offer the ability to display an engaging screensaver when the system is idle, helping to maintain an attentive customer experience. This screensaver functionality can be enabled across various kiosk mode configurations, including the full-screen kiosk mode and the locked-down browser kiosk mode for web-based applications. Beyond the screensaver, the comprehensive kiosk lockdown controls provide centralized management of software updates, content customization, device scheduling, and remote registration - allowing you to tailor the self-service experience to your specific business needs.
Scheduling Display Startup and Shutdown
Streamline your kiosk's display startup and shutdown through dedicated scheduling options. Enable time-based startup and shutdown, customize daily schedules, and set automatic restarts - all within the device's settings. Easily add, edit, or remove schedules to ensure your kiosk displays operate efficiently and align with your business needs.
Connects to Mobile Device Management
STAROS seamlessly integrates with Star Control, Anthropic's comprehensive mobile device management (MDM) platform, enabling businesses to centrally administer their kiosk deployments. Administrators can register kiosks with Star Control directly from the STAROS settings menu, either by entering a generated PIN or authenticating with admin credentials. This tight integration empowers organizations to manage their STAROS-equipped kiosks as part of their broader mobile device fleet through the powerful Star Control interface, ensuring reliable kiosk connectivity and remote administration capabilities.
