Hong Kong International Airport (HKG) has implemented an automatic self-verification system for passengers at inspection points as part of a package of enhanced security measures. The new system relies on barcode imagers from UK-based data input technology company 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 the 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 very user-friendly for passengers to use freeing airport staff for other activities.
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 benefits from a bright green indicator and a sounder confirms a good read. It’s a compact gadget at 12cm x 7cm x 9cm, weighs 120g and operates from a 4.5V to 5V power supply.
Since the introduction of its first boarding gate readers (BGRs) in 2006, Access has become the market leader and supplies BGRs, magnetic stripe readers and keyboards to over 100 major airports worldwide.
