Melitron Corp. — a manufacturer of enclosure systems for electronics and electro-mechanical products, including indoor and outdoor kiosks and digital signage solutions — has teamed with Axis Communications and Icon Media to introduce a People Count Kiosk Solution that provides retailers with a way to automate managing occupancy levels in ways that comply with regulatory requirements, such as COVID-19 and fire safety measures, according to a press release.

The solution creates an entryway experience for retailers with automated stop/go messages based on user-defined occupancy thresholds, and digital content and advertising during periods of lower occupancy to highlight a retailer's health and safety measures or in-store promotions.

The Samsung Experience Store at Yorkdale Shopping Centre in Toronto is currently using the solution.

"Retailers can rely on this all-in-one solution to create a welcoming digital experience for shoppers that ensures safe and accurate occupancy levels in-store," Mike Turner, president and CEO at Melitron, said in the press release.

The kiosk stands at just over 64 inches tall and features a Samsung 32-inch high-definition display and a dent- and scratch-resistant powder-coated finish. It is also portable with "tilt and engage" hard rubber wheels for maneuverability.

The solution comes with software and services, including Axis Communications' Axis People Counter including software, analytics and video-based IP camera; Samsung Magicinfo content management system with Datalink; and Icon's media management services, including entryway kiosk and camera installation and setup, content design, customer support and 24/7 network monitoring.
