A passport scanner designed for integrators
The Thales OEM Document Reader AT10K is designed to inspect and image travel documents, including electronic travel documents and 1D and 2D barcodes used by the airline industry on boarding passes and cell phones.
New in our document reader solutions, the reader's low profile and simple shape make it ideal for integration with self-service airport kiosks and automated passport control gates. The reader can also be used in many other locations such as railway and cruise terminals.
How to scan a passport? It's easy.
This new feature-rich OEM version is the result of a detailed and exhaustive analysis of field experience and numerous deployed projects.
There's more.
Its intuitive design is based on new research using infrequent travellers, typical of the self-service environment.
In particular, Thales has designed a new "landing lights" LED feedback arrangement which naturally encourages the correct placement and use of the reader, regardless if the user is left or right-handed.
The result?
This feature maximises the first-time read rate for reduced queues and greater traveller satisfaction.
The virtually flat top with new user instruction decals and no hood makes the reading area visible when presenting a paper or cell phone boarding pass or passport.
