I did this with a COVID screening kiosk; we sold 120 units at $4,000 each, BOM costs of about $1200, about 1600 hours of engineering time and 4 hours each of fab time - you could buy Chinese kiosks cheaper than that by a large margin, but we integrated with customer RFID tags, time clocks, and door lock systems on a per-customer basis. It was helped by the fact that we had an industrial laser cutter and press brake to fab the mechanical aspects, a large network of existing customers, and a team of MEs, CEs, and fabricators to put everything together who were short on our usual B2B automation equipment work.
