Entry control is easy with a barcode scanner
Ticketing whether mobile or stationary
Regardless of whether it is a seminar, a trade fair, a theater performance, a football match or a music concert, it is particularly important to the organizers that the relevant tickets are genuine and valid and that the visitor is entitled to take part in the event. Access controls are the safest and most reliable method for entry and visitor registration, regardless of whether a stationary or mobile ticket reader is used. It is irrelevant which ticket scanning method is used because both variants ensure a timely check and determine whether the ticket is valid and the visitor is granted access. This gives the organizer important information related to further planning.
The mobile admission control
Come to the mobile admission control MDE devices used and these offer many advantages. It can be used in both online and offline mode. The scanner allows admission controllers to check just-in-time whether the ticket is valid and the cardholder is authorized to enter or not. The status of the ticket can be read directly on the display or played acoustically. With offline control, the device is loaded with the permitted ticket numbers before the actual event, either via docking station or SD card. After scanning the ticket code, the employee immediately receives the most important information whether
- the ticket is valid
- the ticket has already been scanned
- the ticket number exists or does not exist
This allows the inspector to act directly and, for example, reject the visitor if necessary. Once the event is over, the recorded data can be fed back into the central ticket system using a docking station. The offline variant is not suitable, for example, if there are many entry locations, because there is no comparison between the scanners. MDE devices that are connected to the ticket system online via WLAN or UMTS/LTE are practical here. The scanned ticket is checked in real time and the user receives immediate feedback, even if the ticket has already been scanned at another gate, for example. The flood of information collected from the data is collected centrally and is immediately available and evaluable.
The stationary entry control
Stationary admission controls are also often used. Permanently installed scanners are attached to a gate, a turnstile or a wall, for example. The visitor simply has to hold his ticket under the scanning area of the device in a clearly legible manner and will either be granted access or not if he is not authorized to do so. Visitor data that is imported is compared directly. The gate or turnstile is usually connected to a higher-level system where data can be evaluated directly.
