This involves reading the PDF code on the boarding pass with a Datalogic bar code reader as well as verifying airport employees and suppliers through their badge,” Berzuini commented. “This system provides an additional element of security, allows the airport to track peoples’ position inside the airport and also creates a smooth flow of passengers queued at the security gate or when the airport is crowded.” About Datalogic Scanning Datalogic Scanning is the worldwide leader in fixed position retail scanning offering both in-counter and on-counter point-of-sale scanners and the best known provider of handheld scanners in EMEA, with the most complete line of general purpose and ruggedized handheld scanners in the world.
