Automated Retail & Kiosk Innovation Awards 2026

Gable builds durability into outdoor kiosks

November 9, 2026 by Richard Slawsky — Editor, Connect Media

Gable's Pillar is a dual-sided outdoor digital kiosk designed for environments where weather exposure, visibility and equipment durability present significant challenges. The system incorporates two 65-inch high-brightness displays intended to deliver digital content in outdoor settings.

The kiosk features an IP66-rated enclosure, solar-control glass and monitored thermal management to help protect its components against environmental conditions. These features are designed to support reliable operation in locations where heat, moisture and other outdoor conditions can affect electronic equipment.

Beyond its physical durability, Gable Pillar incorporates a standardized, reconfigurable core that allows the system to accommodate changing campaigns and property requirements. This approach gives operators flexibility to adapt their digital signage installations without necessarily replacing the entire kiosk structure as their needs evolve.

These features helped Gable earn recognition as one of 10 Automated Retail & Kiosk Innovation (ARKI) Award winners for 2026. The selection acknowledges the company's emphasis on outdoor durability, display performance and adaptable kiosk design.

This year's ARKI Award winners will be honored at the upcoming Automated Retail & Kiosk Innovation Show, Dec. 14-16 in Miami Beach, where one of them will be revealed as the 2026 Innovator of the Year.
