BranchAnywhere Makes PLA Debut
We had a great time at PLA in Portland and we’re glad to see the excitement surrounding our new library materials vending system, BranchAnywhere.
Our booth had a modern green and white vibe and even featured a glowing green tornado! But the star of the show was BranchAnywhere. Glass sides allowed visitors to see the machine’s robot arm as it delivered books to attendees and hundreds of people stopped by to ask questions, take pictures and make suggestions for future models.
The BranchAnywhere that was seen at PLA is a prototype and we are happy to take suggestions on how the machine can be modified or changed for its release this Fall. You can send suggestions to support@evancedsolutions.com, via Twitter @branchanywhere, or via Facebook.
See you in Portland!
