- An exit path or power recovery that has not been checked on the sample can stop the self-service flow.
| Deployment type | Typical build layer | Acceptance check |
|---|---|---|
| Single-app kiosk | One approved app, locked launcher and restricted settings | Boot, app recovery, exit path and reset behavior reviewed. |
| Multi-app managed device | Managed home screen, allowlist and role-specific app set | User can access only the curated app surface. |
| Fixed public terminal | Mount, continuous power, display behavior and service access | Power recovery, screen orientation and install assumptions checked. |
| Shared workforce device | Enrollment, labels, charging plan and handoff instructions | Batch staging and operational support notes prepared. |
Dedicated Android Devices and Kiosk Tablets for Validated Rollouts

Brief: define the public or workforce task
Dedicated Android devices are built for a fixed function: check-in, self-service, pickup, training, signage, shop-floor instruction, shared workforce tasks or public terminals. The brief should define the app surface, user role, physical location, mount, power, network, service access, reset behavior, update method and who is allowed to exit or change settings. In stores, those roles usually sit inside a wider retail and POS device program.
Build: lock the app surface and the physical deployment together
Which of those controls belongs to the launcher, to lock task mode or to fleet policy is a decision in its own right, worked through in custom launcher vs kiosk mode vs MDM; the dedicated-device mode the kiosk runs in is compared in dedicated vs fully managed Android devices. A kiosk build can include single-app mode, multi-app managed home screen, app preload, launcher control, restricted settings, blocked sideloading, MDM enrollment, continuous power, wall, desk or vehicle mount, screen orientation, packaging and installation notes. The device is not considered ready until both the software surface and the mounting/power path are validated.

Validate: test exit paths, reset behavior and recovery
Kiosk validation focuses on whether the user can accidentally or intentionally leave the approved surface. Vantora checks boot behavior, app crash recovery, home/back/recent behavior, notification shade, settings access, sideloading posture, factory reset, safe mode, update flow, captive portal and service access. The result is a project-specific validation record, not a generic promise that every Android model supports every control.
- Single-app or multi-app launcher behavior review
- Settings, notification shade and sideloading posture check
- Factory reset, safe mode and recovery-path review
- Mount, power and reboot behavior validation
- Known limitations documented before batch approval
Takeaway. Record the exit path, power loss, and maintenance entry on the sample. Leave the result blank until that check is done.
Stage: prepare devices for installation or operator handoff
Batch staging can include app preload, enrollment assumptions, device naming, asset labels, packaging groups, mount and charger packing, installation notes and support instructions. For public-use deployments, service and replacement assumptions should be recorded before the devices leave staging.
Takeaway. Record who installs the unit and how power returns. This page does not certify the installation.
Rollout: keep the kiosk build repeatable
A kiosk rollout depends on repeatability: the same app version, launcher behavior, mount, power path, screen orientation and reset posture must appear across the batch. Vantora records the accepted build and staging checklist so later re-orders can be checked against the approved sample.

What to send us
| Item | Why we need it | Example format |
|---|---|---|
| Allowed and blocked actions | The acceptance row has to say what must remain and what must be absent | Apps or settings to allow, and apps or exits to block |
| Mount and power | A device that passes the app test can still fail at the dock or the vehicle feed | Vehicle or fixture, ignition or dock power, and which ports must stay free |
| Reset and recovery | The sample should show what returns after reset and who can recover it | Factory reset expected result, and the support path |
| App package and version | The sample has to match the build you intend to ship | Package name and version code |
| Quantity and reorder | A planning band is not a delivery guarantee | A range, and whether you expect a reorder |

Pertanyaan Umum
Can a dedicated Android device run only one app?
Yes, on suitable models and management paths. Single-app kiosk can lock the device to one approved application and recover to that app after reboot.
Can users exit the kiosk mode?
Exit paths are restricted and tested against the agreed matrix. The exact controls depend on the selected model, Android mode, MDM and launcher path.
Can kiosk devices be permanently powered and mounted?
Yes. Wall, desk, vehicle or fixed-location mounting and continuous power can be included in the device and staging requirements.
Can the device support more than one approved app?
Yes. A multi-app managed home screen can expose a curated app set while blocking other apps and settings.
Can devices ship ready for installation?
Yes. Batch staging can include app preload, enrollment, labels, mounts, chargers, packaging groups and installation notes.
