Fully Connected. Operated Through One Platform.

Every unit ships with Bobnet OS pre-integrated — the device-resident operating system that standardizes electronics control, payment processing, connectivity, and real-time telemetry. From the moment the device goes live, it is remotely accessible: administrators can configure catalog and pricing through the Backoffice Web App, field teams manage replenishment and stock via the Ops Mobile App, and end-users interact through the on-device Kiosk UI or the End-User Mobile App. There is no separate software to deploy — the platform is already there.

Operations are governed through the Chain Management System, the orchestration layer that holds business logic — assortment rules, pricing models, access policies, payment flows, and reporting — and applies it consistently across every device in the network. Monitoring runs continuously through the Technical Console, which tracks device health, transaction anomalies, connectivity status, and inventory drift, routing exceptions into actionable workflows before they become operational problems. The result is a system that stays consistent, diagnosable, and scalable whether you run one unit or a hundred.

Available as Single Unit or as Part of a Chain. How This Device Operates in a Chain

This solution is available for deployment as a single autonomous unit — operational from day one, with no dependency on other devices. It connects to Bobnet OS and the Chain Management System independently, giving you full software visibility, cashless payments, and remote management from a single point.

Single Unit Deployment

  • Plug & Play
  • Independent
  • Full software stack

Chain Deployment

  • Unified rules
  • Coordinated fleet
  • Scaled operations

For organizations running multiple locations or higher-volume environments, this device is also available as part of a Chain — a structured group of units operating together under unified rules, shared catalog, and coordinated telemetry. A chain removes the need to manage each unit individually: pricing, replenishment workflows, and reporting are governed centrally, while each device executes autonomously on-site.

When deployed as part of a chain, this device becomes a managed node within a coordinated operational unit. The Chain Management System assigns it to a defined group — alongside other devices of the same or complementary type — and governs the entire group under shared rules: one product catalog, one pricing model, one replenishment policy. Each device in the chain executes those rules autonomously on-site, while all data — transactions, inventory levels, health states, alerts — flows back to the same unified reporting layer. There is no need to configure or monitor each unit separately; the chain behaves as one system.

Chains are the foundation of Human Free Process and STAFF FREE Networks — the higher automation levels where multiple device types work together to cover complete operational flows without on-site staff. A single chain of this device type can handle a discrete routine end-to-end: product access, payment, receipt, and exception handling. Multiple chains, connected through Bobnet OS and the Chain Management System, can cover an entire site or a multi-location network under one operational model. The architecture is designed to grow: you start with a chain, and when the business is ready, you extend it — same platform, same rules, larger network.

Automation coverage

Families self-serve activity kits independently.

Quantified impact (per location)
Key Operational Assumptions
Operational volume

Pickups per day: 10

Staff time per pickup: 4 minutes

Operating days per year: 365

Manual workload

10 × 4 = 40 minutes / day

40 ÷ 60 = 0.67 hours / day

0.67 × 365 ≈ 243 hours / year

Automation effectiveness

Automated share: 90%

Adoption rate: 85%

Routine work eliminated

243 × 90% × 85% ≈ 186 hours / year

FTE

186 ÷ 2,000 = 0.09 FTE

Net operational impact
≈ 186 hours eliminated per year
≈ 0.09 FTE reallocated

FAQ

How does the Smart Kids Activity Locker reduce pressure on my team? +
The locker lets families browse and collect activity kits entirely on their own, with no staff involvement needed. This frees your team to focus on higher-value guest interactions rather than managing requests for entertainment items, which is particularly valuable during peak periods when resources are stretched.
What kinds of products can it dispense, and can I change the offering over time? +
The locker is designed to hold a range of kids' activity kits and entertainment products, and your inventory can be updated to reflect seasons, promotions, or guest demand. This flexibility means you can keep the offering fresh without any significant operational disruption.
How quickly could we realistically see a return on this investment? +
By monetising a service that many venues currently offer for free or not at all, the locker creates a direct new revenue stream from day one. Combined with the reduction in staff time spent on guest entertainment requests, most operators find the unit pays for itself faster than they expect.
What does deployment actually look like — is it a big project to get up and running? +
Installation is straightforward and designed to cause minimal disruption to your day-to-day operations. Once placed, the locker operates largely autonomously, so there is no need for dedicated staff training or ongoing management beyond routine restocking.
How does this improve the experience for families, and does that have a measurable impact on my business? +
When families can instantly access engaging activities for their children on demand, it reduces stress for parents and creates a noticeably more positive atmosphere. Happier families stay longer, spend more, and are far more likely to return or recommend your venue — all of which have a direct impact on revenue and reputation.
