3M debuts passport scanner for CUSS kiosks
September 5, 2007
LAS VEGAS — 3M will use the Check-in ‘07 show in Las Vegas to showcase its next-generation full-page document scanners for kiosks.
According to a news release, the new 3M Kiosk Full Page Readers and 3M Kiosk ePassport Readers are designed for integration into the latest generation of common use self-service (CUSS) kiosks.
Used to facilitate the check-in process for airlines, hotels and car rental agencies, as well as to automate identity processing for frequent travelers and automated border control points, the new readers will offer the combined technical capabilities of 3M and Rochford Thompson in a reduced footprint. This size reduction is especially important for the latest designs of counter-top kiosks, the companies say.
