Interactive Wayfinding Kiosks That
Passengers Actually Use
The interactive kiosk: the first touch they reach for.
Where do I go next? A "you-are-here" map, step-by-step directions, and live service updates — all on a touchscreen a first-time visitor can use without thinking. We build the interactive kiosk touch display hardware; you bring the navigation software.

What it is
The interactive kiosk that answers
"where do I go"
An interactive wayfinding kiosk is the self-service navigation point in a station concourse. Passengers touch a map, get step-by-step directions to the right platform or exit, and see live service updates — all without queuing at a help desk. RisingStar is a hardware OEM/ODM. We supply the touch display; you bring the navigation software, CMS, and indoor-positioning integration.
We do not build wayfinding or CMS software; our hardware is open to yours.

Questions
Frequently asked
01
Do you supply the wayfinding software?
No. We supply the touch display hardware. The kiosk connects to your navigation software, CMS, and indoor-positioning system through open SDK/API.
02
Does the touch work with gloves?
Yes. PCAP capacitive touch with glove and wet-hand mode. Works in cold platforms and rainy entrances.
03
Are they accessible to low-vision travellers?
Hardware supports high-contrast UI, large-font and audio-readiness modes, aligning with ADA / WCAG 2.2 AA guidance. Confirm specific compliance before deployment.
04
What certifications apply?
CE / RoHS / FCC certified, ISO 9001 certified, with IP65. ADA/WCAG-aligned hardware design.
05
What about warranty and working life?
Standard warranty is 3 years, backed by long-cycle after-sales: we repair by module or board rather than replacing the whole kiosk. Working life depends on several factors — the LED backlight, the panel, driver electronics and the duty environment among them; the backlight is rated up to 50,000 h (L50), roughly 5.7 years at 24/7. Our units are rated to an MTBF of 50,000 hours, based on our reliability test data.
06
How durable is the kiosk touch surface?
The touch surface uses 9H pencil-hardness tempered glass - it resists scratches from keys, bags and everyday public use - paired with IP65 front sealing and glove or wet-hand touch. Chemically strengthened or tempered glass rated IK10 also absorbs impacts from accidental knocks. For unattended terminals, surface hardness and impact resistance together keep the screen readable across its service life.
