Access IS (Exhibition Booth #19)

Access IS
Access IS’ LSR118 2D Barcode Reader has NFC/RFID capability, and is a fully sealed, water-resistant OEM device, designed for easy integration into indoor and outdoor self-service kiosks. Its optimised 2D omnidirectional imager ensures reliable, high-speed reading of barcodes presented on mobile phones, tablets and paper.

Access Interfacing Solutions designs and supplies innovative data capture solutions for desktop and self-service airport applications worldwide, including integrated passport-reading devices, Boarding Gate Readers with NFC capability, passport, ID card and 2D barcode readers for kiosks, and the integration of passport and credit card reading devices with tablets and mobile PCs.

At this year’s FTE Global event Access IS will be highlighting three of its state-of-the-art new products, including:

  • The OCR316 USB OCR Reader for passports, ID cards, FQTV and credit cards. The compact and robust OCR316 can be attached to a wide range of handhelds, tablets, keyboards and monitors, or can act as a standalone device – particularly when check-in counter space is at a premium.
  • Alongside it, Access IS is presenting the LSR118 2D Barcode Reader with NFC/RFID read capability. This rugged, fully sealed, water-resistant OEM device is designed for easy integration into indoor and outdoor self-service kiosks. Its optimised 2D omnidirectional imager ensures reliable, high-speed reading of barcodes presented on mobile phones, tablets and paper.

CUSTOM Engineering (Exhibition Booth #26)

CUSTOM Engineering
CUSTOM will be emphasising its Triple Feeder printing solution, which manages boarding pass, bag tag and receipt printing, as well as the KPM108H, the smallest ATB and BT combined printer.

With 20 years of experience in the airport industry’s toughest environments, CUSTOM is a leading supplier of innovative solutions for scanning pre-printed barcodes on boarding passes, heavy-duty printing for bag tags and passes and very fast printing processes. CUSTOM offers a wide range of ticketing printers for the air transport industry – for boarding passes, bag tags, RFID printers/encoders, self-service facilities and information kiosks. In addition to supplying the technology, its dedicated partners assist in software integration, guaranteeing compatibility with all software platforms used in the ticketing sector.

As the industry moves towards a new generation of slim kiosks, there is no space for a number of different printers to print boarding passes, bag tags and standard receipts. CUSTOM’s latest innovation, the Triple Feeder, can print all three types of tickets in desktop and self-service CUSTOM printers.

At FTE Global 2013, CUSTOM will also showcase the new KPM180H, the smallest ATB and BT combined printer, especially designed with excellent reliability for compact CUSS kiosks and small check-in desks where limited space is a major challenge.

DESKO (Exhibition Booth #03)

DESKO
A large multicolour LCD display for text and picture display, multicolour LEDs for clear visual feedback and an adjustable volume control (integrated buzzer and/or external buzzer) for acoustic feedback make DESKO’s BGR 504 Pro gate reader the ideal device for fast and trouble free boarding processes.

DESKO has been designing and manufacturing hardware and software solutions for automated data entry for the last 20 years, and develops leading-edge solutions in the fields of Passport & ID Capture, Paperless Transactions and Electronic Documents.

This year at FTE Global, DESKO is presenting its new BGR 504 Pro, which is based on the existing and well-established DESKO GRSK 504 gate reader series. The new BGR comes in the same space envelope and provides at a minimum serial or USB connections, making it completely plug and play to existing installations both from a mechanical as well as interfacing point of view.

Like its well-proven predecessor, the DESKO BGR 504 pro is based on a robust flatbed scan technology for highest and super-fast barcode read rates. Because of its barrier free flatbed design the BRG 504 pro allows for user-friendly mobile boarding pass reading from smart phones or large tablet displays.

DESKO’s smart device approach and optional features, such as NFC boarding, guarantee a future-proof infrastructure and protect your investment.

At FTE Global 2013, it will demonstrate the E-Seek Model 500 ID Authenticator and E-Seek Model 280 Drivers License Readers. The Model 500 will detect fake ID cards or drivers’ licenses by utilizing dual sided high resolution ID imaging designed for counter top ID verification applications. In addition, high resolution imaging will read the barcode data on drivers’ licenses, as well as the magnetic stripe information.

The E-Seek Model 280 allows for the reading and capture of all electronic data, while concurrently providing the ability to scan and capture a complete image of both sides of an ID card or License. The Model 280 reads all data from both the 2 Dimensional Barcode (PDF 417) and the Magnetic Stripe utilized on ID cards and Drivers Licenses. In addition, the ID card or license can be positioned on the scratch proof glass lens of the Model 280, and with the simple press of a button a full high resolution image (JPEG) of the ID is captured and attached to the data stream.
