NORTH CANTON, Ohio – Wright Patterson Air Force Base pharmacy customers are getting an air lift: drive-through, pneumatic kiosks to deliver their prescriptions.
The new Diebold Inc. (NYSE: DBD) product, called a Drive-Thru Kiosk, is designed specifically for mass merchandisers and grocery stores with pharmacy operations. Diebold is a leading kiosk and ATM manufacturer.
Diebold's Drive-Thru Kiosk, which comes in a variety of models, provides drive-up access in a typical pharmacy location, such as under an existing canopy next to a building or in an out-of-the-way area where no canopy is present, such as an open parking lot.
The pneumatic tube system provides a smooth, cushioned arrival of the carriers, protecting the contents delivered to customers. A two-way closed-circuit television allows face-to-face communication between the technician or pharmacist and the customer.
Diebold manufactures several models of its Drive-Thru Kiosk:
- Remote Island Kiosk and Canopy - A stand-alone kiosk and canopy for remote use. Uses overhead tubing that loops through the kiosk and runs underground.
- Small-Island Kiosk - A stand-alone kiosk for island use. Uses both overhead and underground tubing with an optional canopy.
- Wall Mount Kiosk - Three-sided kiosk with aluminum back for use against an existing building. Uses both overhead and underground tubing with no canopy.
- Wall Mount Kiosk - Three-sided kiosk with tall aluminum back that allows for an optional canopy.
- Optional Canopy - May be used with Small-Island Kiosk or the taller all Mount Kiosk.
With the addition of its Drive-Thru Kiosk, Diebold now has 12 configurations of Drive-Thru systems for the retail pharmacy industry. In addition to drive-through products, Diebold also offers cash management equipment, premise security and surveillance solutions, and secured pharmaceutical storage cabinets.
Diebold Inc. provides self-service delivery systems and services. The Canton, Ohio kiosk and ATM maker employs more than 10,000 associates with representation in more than 80 countries.
