California – Wednesday, May 03, 2006 – Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation, the U.S. affiliate of Swiss-based Novartis AG, recently installed touch screen kiosks, manufactured by Redondo Beach, California based SeePoint Technology, at its headquarters in East Hanover, New Jersey.
Novartis Pharmaceuticals operates from a 200-acre property, employing 11,200 people who work from more than 20 buildings spread out across the sprawling campus. Novartis looked to SeePoint to devise a self service solution that would help the pharmaceutical company manage the influx of hundreds of visitors who come to the East Hanover site each day.
The kiosks provide Novartis with two important benefits. First, every visitor must check in at one of the kiosks upon arriving at the campus. Novartis can use this information to determine almost instantaneously who is on the premises at any given moment. Second, visitors can also use the kiosks to view and print three dimensional maps with step-by-step instructions on how to get from the check-in point to the visitor’s ultimate destination.
The sleek profile and elegant appearance of the SeePoint’s Sterling™ stainless steel kiosks made incorporating the systems across the campus easy. Designed for style and engineered for performance, the Sterling systems provide and convey all the best qualities of stainless steel – superior performance, longevity and reliability. Unlike many products, all of SeePoint’s touch screen kiosks, including those in the Sterling line, are fully integrated systems which do not require on-site assembly, cabling or wiring. The Novartis systems were assisting visitors out of the box.
Novartis also selected a number of add-ons to enhance the effect of the kiosk installation. The kiosks feature a 19 inch touch interface to display the campus maps. Additionally, thermal printers provide full size (8.5 inch wide) printouts as a takeaway for visitors to navigate to their destination on the campus. These printers provide all the advantages of laser printers such as clarity and detail with the reduced maintenance and cost of thermal printing. Overhead signage on the kiosks instructs visitors to the kiosks’ purpose and use.
