Eco Kiosk coming to America

June 4, 2012

ZIVELO, an American-based kiosk and digital signage manufacturing company, now has an greement with EcoTech Computers, a developer of green self-service technology, that grants ZIVELO exclusive rights to North American sales of the Eco Kiosk, a solar-powered stand-alone kiosk.

"ZIVELO have proven themselves as a market leader within the kiosk industry, and we are very excited to work with them to expand the offering of our outdoor, green kiosk solution," Peter McManus, founder and CEO of EcoTech Computers, said in a company press release. "The steps that ZIVELO has taken to be a green manufacturer have also influenced our decision to form this partnership. I am confident that both teams will work very well together to deliver this fantastic new product to the world."

The Eco Kiosk integrates cutting-edge green energy development with a patented power-management system to operate solely on solar power and an optional hand crank — eliminating the need for power and data access. Not only does this system reduce the power consumption of the kiosk, it can also predict upcoming power availability by monitoring local weather forecasts to predict sunshine levels. With hybrid models that can incorporate battery or electrically-wired backup systems available for areas with intermittent sunshine, the Eco Kiosk is a powerhouse in the outdoor kiosk market, McManus said.

"The Eco Kiosk is the apex of green self-service technology, with each deployed terminal saving an average of 9.5 tons of carbon dioxide emissions per year," Ziver Birg, CEO of ZIVELO, said in the release. "Not only do these kiosks eliminate electricity costs, but they offer unlimited outdoor placement options — breaking down the barriers of today's conventional kiosk limitations."
