Ticket scanner on smartphones
Smart phones can be a cheap entry into access control for your venue.
While mobile phones don’t have high performance imagers to read 1D- and 2D-Codes, when used under good lighting conditions scanning with the camera of your smart phone will do just fine.
It is usually difficult to restrict access to other apps on smart phones but that might be an advantage on less busy days.
Battery life can vary a lot and is usually not as good as with an industrial scanner but newer devices have high battery capacities and allow for a sufficiently long usage.
Ticket scanner on industrial scanners
We also supply go~scanners on professional industrial scanners on request. These offer some advantages over cell phones, but are usually a little more expensive.
Industrial scanners usually have a higher battery capacity. This is a great advantage, especially for long opening hours or many visitors.
Imagers in industrial scanners can read 1D and 2D codes more reliably and faster from all media (paper, screens). This enables faster checks and greater distance between supervisors and visitors.
The higher protection class of industrial scanners guarantees better protection against drops, dust and water, thus ensuring a longer service life for the devices.
Accessories such as charging cradles, multiple charging cradles, ergonomic handles, holsters and much more are available for industrial scanners.
Connection of turnstiles
Some museums rely on individualization systems for access control.
We can connect such systems or, if required, supply them together with a partner. We work with systems from Axess AG.
A middle way is often the best option, where the actual turnstile is retained, but the scanner and the logic in it as well as the visitor display are replaced.
Ticket control at the cash desk
In many museums, a separate ticket check is not possible or necessary.
For tickets that are sold online, validation can be made possible with a scanner connected to the cash desk.
This allows tickets to be checked and validated reliably and conveniently without the need for additional staff or materials.
Ticket validation when printing at the cash desk
Whether separate ticket control or control at the cash desk, it often makes sense for tickets sold at the cash desk to be validated directly.
go~mus + entry together with go~mus + cash desk enables exactly that. Tickets are validated directly when they are printed so that visitors do not have to go through ticket control.
