OLEFA Kiosk


Schools, childcare facilities, municipalities and other organizations often have a need to communicate externally and internally.
Besides a good Internet presence the visual channel also remains an important and direct form of communication.
To easily and efficiently serve this need we have prepared some usage examples for kiosks that are based on the OLEFA platform.

In the following video we present two examples of how to use a kiosk at the entrance of a building, in a meeting room or in an exhibition in order to display useful information.
As a device you can use a web-enabled Television, a tablet or a small computer with an Internet connection. As a mini-computer you can for example use a Raspberry Pi.

Some features that can be used in such a display:

  • Timed slideshow of latest news and announcements.

  • Automatic scrolling down for larger texts.

  • Integration of videos, that are played back integrally before going over to the next slide.

  • Integration of restaurant menus.

  • Easy information management with OLEFA databases.

  • Databases can be used for both the website and the kiosk slideshow, so that the you just have to fill in the contents once.

  • Specific filters to define which information should appear in the slideshow and/or the website, or even to fill different kiosks in different locations with specific content.

  • Possibility to combine database entries from different OLEFA websites in one slideshow.

  • Possibility to switch between different slideshow modes according to your needs, e.g. display of multiple announcements / photo-slideshow from a specific gallery…
