Hong Kong automated

by msecadm4921

Hong Kong International Airport (HKG) has an automatic self-verification system for passengers at inspection points as part of security measures.

 

 

The new system relies on barcode imagers from UK-based data input technology company Access Interfacing Solutions (Access IS) which read electronic boarding passes on mobile phones and conventional printed versions presented by passengers.

 

The HKG specified Access IS’ LSR110 counter-top reader, which scans and authenticates the unique bar code sent to a ticket purchaser’s mobile phone, allows passengers to cross more quickly into the secure part of the airport called the ‘clean zone’ and onwards to boarding gates. Besides providing a paperless solution, the LSR110 is said to be user-friendly for passengers to use, freeing airport staff for other work.

 

The LSR110 2D omni-directional bar code imager captures common linear, PDF417 2D stacked and Aztec 2D bar codes within a second of presentation in any orientation, even in full sunlight. With a customer-facing scanner, the device has from a bright green indicator and a sounder confirms a good read. It’s a gadget 12cm x 7cm x 9cm, weighs 120g and operates from a 4.5V to 5V power supply.

 

The Reading-based makers add that they supply BGRs, magnetic stripe readers and keyboards to over 100 airports.
