Word appears in Iberian Spanish brochure for an automated shipment reception platform. It only appears in lists of products and services on offer, so there's no real context. I understand it as referring to the "towers" you see in private and government offices to select and/or print out reception tickets, waiting list numbers, etc. Is there a precise equivalent in English?
Many thanks in advance

(Digital) totem
I did not know the name myself, but in fact the very same word is used in the British advertising world: Digital totem or advertising digital totem, a type of structure presenting a wide display area at its top for advertisements.

Totem advert guidance
Back to 'buzz'
The University’s 12 digital totem screens, located at key access points across campus, offer a great navigational tool for students, staff and visitors to campus, as well as providing useful up-to-date information to users.
When they are not being interacted with, the totems are ‘idle’ and can act as displays for up to four electronic adverts at any given time. These adverts are managed by the Communications and Reputation team in External Relations.
How can I have an advert on the screen?
If you would like an advert displayed on the totems, your advert must be relevant to a wide cross-section of the University.

You could also tell us more about the product, and what an 'automated shipment reception system' is in Spanish.
One common meaning of totem is a vertical structure used to advertise a business or otherwise draw attention to something. Could it be that?
