DORTMUND, Germany, February 28, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --
News solutions for biometrics, bag drop and New ADA-compliant
kiosk
At PTE 2017 in
Amsterdam from 14 to 16
March, Materna will present its complete
end-to-end passenger journey, from
home to destination, and show how seamless
travel is a real benefit for passengers.
To accelerate the whole passenger
handling process, Materna has added
biometrics to their passenger touch point
solutions to take passengers through the complete
integrated process with a single token ID. You
will find us at stand 5040.
Seamless biometrics integration
Materna has now integrated biometrics within the passenger
journey: While checking-in at home using a mobile app, or later at
the airport-kiosk, a biometric photo of the passenger is taken.
This information is stored as a biometric token which enables the
passenger to be recognized at every point along their journey from
then on. This biometric face enrollment is carried out as a
background process that saves a lot of time, accelerates the whole
passenger journey and avoids unnecessary stops for passengers as,
for example, they are then identified automatically at the
pre-security or boarding gates. For this biometrics identification
process to work efficiently, it is necessary to integrate all the
steps along the passenger journey from check-in to boarding.
Unique solutions for bag drop
Visitors at stand 5040 can experience the whole range of
self-bag-drop solutions designed for one- or two-step bag drop
processes, all based on intuitive graphical user guidance. The
solutions are CUSS- and CUWS-compliant. Materna, as the leading
supplier for self-bag-drop, offers a range of solutions to airports
and airlines based on retrofit or kiosk models of different sizes.
Each kiosk can handle up to 4,000 boarding passes and up to 1,200
bag tags before they need to be refilled. All Materna standard bag
drop solutions already include multi-airline payment options and
linerless bag tag printing.
The customer-proven solution at London Gatwick, which has the
world´s largest self-bag-drop installation, will be presented by
Gavin Jackson, Project Leader at
Gatwick, in a live talk at the conference on 16 March, and visitors
can meet him in person at the Materna booth.
New ADA-compliant kiosk
Materna will also be showcasing their brand-new ADA-compliant
kiosk for the first time at this year's PTE in Amsterdam. This new kiosk is much lower than
the well-known Materna standard kiosk. It is compliant to the
American Disabilities Act (ADA) Standards for Accessible Design
published by the US Department of Justice in September 2010. These standards state that all
electronic and information technology must be accessible to people
with disabilities e.g. wheelchair users and people with visual
handicaps. The new kiosk is equipped with additional controls, e.g.
a large panel with hieroglyphic buttons.
