Check‑in Kiosk

Three directions for the station workers use to start a shift. Each one pairs a face camera with a large touchscreen, a scan bay deep enough to slide a phone under the QR reader, and real keys that work with gloves on.

From render to prototype

All three read the rotating QR code from the Centurien worker app with no network, and send check-ins up when the link comes back.

  1. Pick a directionOr mix them. The Atlas body with Bastion buttons is a fair combination.
  2. Build a bench rig from stock partsOpen-frame touch monitor, binocular face module, 2D scan engine, keys and an ARM board. These are the same parts the ready-made kiosks on Alibaba are built from.
  3. Test the two hard thingsQR reads off phone screens at the bay depth, at full and low brightness. Face capture under dock lights and in a backlit doorway.
  4. Print the shell and pilotThree to five units at one site for two weeks, with real shift changes.
  5. Lock the production pathCNC for small runs, molds once the numbers justify them.
