Intelligent wayfinding, built from the ground up.
Make sense of every entry point on campus, every timetable change, every facility request — all from a single walk-up kiosk.

UNIMATE plugs into the systems your campus already runs. No new database, no data migration, no separate student records.
SSO & identity
SAML, OAuth, and direct integration with the university's existing identity provider. No student records stored on the kiosk.
Timetable data
Read-only sync against your scheduling system over REST. Cached with Redis so room changes propagate in seconds, not minutes.
Campus GIS
Building floor plans, room mappings, and step-free routes pulled from your existing campus GIS or CAD assets.
Open REST API and kiosk firmware hooks
Build custom workflows with Django REST endpoints, or listen to kiosk events directly from the ESP32-C3 firmware for your own real-time integrations. Full OpenAPI spec available.
Your identity provider, your rules
SAML, OAuth, or direct integration with your existing SSO. No UNIMATE user accounts, no duplicate passwords, no student data stored outside your university's control.
“On day one, students used UNIMATE without asking a single question. That has never happened with any other system we have rolled out on this campus.”
ENGINEERING PILOT GROUP
USABILITY TESTING, JUNE 2025
Built for procurement and IT teams, not just students.
Every kiosk ships with the same security and privacy posture your IT review board expects. No student records, no standing sessions, no retained logs.
ISO/IEC 27001 aligned
Backend built against the ISO/IEC 27001:2022 control set. Security management documentation and implementation guide on file.
Tokenised sessions
NFC tap issues a short-lived JWT session. No personally identifying information is stored on the kiosk — sessions expire automatically on inactivity.
60-second log purge
On-device logs are purged every 60 seconds. The only data that persists is aggregated analytics with no student identifiers attached.
WCAG 2.1 AA
Height-adjustable screens, voice guidance, high-contrast mode. Meets WCAG 2.1 AA across the full UI — accessibility is part of the spec, not a retrofit.
Reverse logistics
Supplier-funded take-back loop at end-of-life captures 100% of retired units for component recycling. Recyclable ABS chassis by design.
Sustainable materials
Recyclable ABS housing, energy-efficient displays, modular repairable components. Eco-Indicator Analysis runs through every major design decision.
Resources for procurement and research.
Everything you need to assess UNIMATE for your campus, from the business case to the security posture.
