NCR
Corporation, the global leader in consumer transaction technologies,
today announced the availability of a major software release to NCR
Wayfinding, a next-generation software platform for creating and
managing airport content across kiosks, mobile devices and more. The
software will be available for demo at the 2014 ACI-NA Annual Conference
& Exhibition, September 7-10, 2014 in Atlanta, GA at Booth #440.
NCR Wayfinding is a dynamic solution that helps passengers easily locate
products and navigate through large, complex buildings; eliminating
confusion and improving the passenger experience. Highlights of the new
features include graphical enhancements such as data-driven 3D maps, and
endpoint supported and gesture supported map navigation. It enables
passengers to search on a touchscreen for gates, flights, restaurants,
shopping, restrooms and more. Passengers can easily toggle between
multi-lingual maps, and it incorporates airport-standard symbols
enabling usage by speakers of different languages.
For the first time, the solution is now truly omni-channel, allowing
facility managers to easily manage and publish maps and all requisite
location information, via kiosks, the web site, and mobile apps (iOS and
Android). Maps are 3D, support multi-touch zooming and rotation, and
reveal multiple layers of detail as users zoom in, similar to popular
street-level mobile mapping apps do today.
NCR’s solution has a back end tool that allows airport operations staff
to update their content in real-time to respond to changes in
operations. For example, if a restroom or other facility is closed or
out of service, the staff can instantly change the map and all endpoints
will update automatically.
“Beyond improving the passenger experience, interactive wayfinding is
quickly becoming a core component of an airport’s retail strategy to
drive non-aeronautical revenue at retailers and concessionaires
throughout the terminal,” says Jerry Zeephat, Travel Solution Manager,
NCR Corporation.
NCR’s larger wayfinding kiosk implementations include Methodist Hospital
in Houston, one of the biggest in the U.S., with wayfinding kiosks
throughout its campuses, and Dubai
Airport, the busiest international airport in the world.
