Wayfinding Kiosk for Malls, Airports and Campuses
Help visitors find their way without a staffed desk. A large interactive directory replaces printed maps with searchable, up-to-date directions — on hardware EKINTRY builds factory-direct.
A wayfinding kiosk turns a building into something visitors can search. Instead of a printed board, a large touch screen shows an interactive map with turn-by-turn directions, a searchable directory and real-time information — and it updates instantly when a tenant or gate changes.
This page covers the wayfinding kiosk specifically: the large-format hardware that suits big, busy spaces. EKINTRY manufactures it factory-direct; your wayfinding software provides the maps.
Who custom screens are for
- Shopping malls and retail centres.
- Airports, stations and transit hubs.
- University and corporate campuses.
- Hospitals and large public buildings.
Why a wayfinding kiosk beats a printed map
In a large, changing venue the advantages compound:
- Searchable — visitors type a shop, gate or department and get directions.
- Always current — update tenants, events and closures instantly.
- Self-service — fewer questions at the information desk.
- Dual-use — show advertising or notices when idle.
The right hardware for big spaces
Wayfinding suits a larger, more visible format than a counter kiosk:
- Large 43″–55″+ portrait or landscape PCAP touch screens.
- Freestanding totem or wall-mounted, custom-branded enclosure.
- Bright panels that stay readable in daylit atriums and concourses.
- Android or Windows OPS to run your wayfinding platform.
Hardware and map software
The interactive map and directory are provided by your wayfinding software (your own or a specialist platform). EKINTRY builds the large-format touch hardware and enclosure it runs on, sized and bright enough for the space, and mounted where footfall flows.
Factory-direct across multiple sites
For estates with several entrances or buildings, EKINTRY supplies matching wayfinding kiosks factory-direct, with consistent branding, spares and remote setup support.
