Kaba Wins Frankfurt Airport Contract
Kaba has won the tender to install ‘self-boarding gates’ at Frankfurt Airport. Lufthansa AG and the company which runs the airport - Fraport AG - promote self-service passenger processing in order to increase the comfort and flow rate of passengers through the airport considerably. They chose Kaba to produce the sensor barriers required at access points to security areas and the boarding gates. The new generation of the so-called “self-boarding gates“ grants further optimisation of single-handed boarding at the gates. The goal of this is to accelerate the whole boarding process and make it more comfortable for the passengers. Initially four sensor barriers are installed at Lufthansa gates A 26 and A 65 at Frankfurt’s Terminal 1. At first, in routine operation the boarding process will be monitored for the sake of further adjustments. During the coming three years it is planned to equip more than 50 Lufthansa gates with Kaba‘s new ”self-boarding gates“.
At airports, access to controlled security areas is exclusively restricted to persons with valid
access authorisation. In future, boarding pass control at access points to the security area will be operated with support of automatic e-gates. Kaba’s solution is based on automatic sensor barriers equipped for boarding card control with a Desko 2D boarding pass scanner, display and printer. Fraport’s first e-gates will be installed at the boarding pass control in Terminal 2.
Cairo International Airport Implements Quantum’s BagScan
Cairo International Airport has implemented Quantum Aviation Solutions' BagScan, baggage reconciliation solution (BRS), at Terminal 3 serving EGYPTAIR and Star Alliance members. In addition to providing baggage reconciliation and tracking, BagScan facilitates improved baggage performance within Star, by proactively alerting their baggage operation of hot connecting baggage and related flights. Quantum Aviation Solutions enhanced BagScan’s workstations and hand held scanners
to allow users at CAI access to the system in Arabic or English. User documentation is also provided in Arabic and English to assist with training and operations.
AD Aerospace Announces Launch Customer for CabinVu Witness
AD Aerospace has signed a deal with a major European airline as the launch customer for CabinVu Witness, a digitally recorded video camera security system which covers not only the flight deck door, but also the entire passenger cabin. The deal covers an entire fleet of more than 40 aircraft of several types and represents a major investment by the airline in enhanced security for their passengers, setting them apart from the competition. The new CabinVu Witness system uses the familiar CabinVu cameras interfacing
with an ethernet accessible Video Server. This allows footage to be viewed live on the flight deck using a stand-alone monitor, as well as being recorded for later review. The Video Server is an upgraded version of the unit which has been available on new Boeing aircraft since 2005, and using the latest technology, offers increased processing power as well as reduced weight and size.

Partnership Enables Rapid Integration and Deployment of Fujitsu Palm Vein Identification Technology Using M2SYS Biometrics Software
M2SYS Technology has announced a strategic alliance with Fujitsu Frontech North America (FFNA) that will result in the widespread growth and adoption of PC-based palm vein biometric recognition systems. Under the partnership, M2SYS has added support for the Fujitsu PalmSecure™ biometric authentication system to its Bio-Plugin™ biometrics platform. Bio-Plugin™ enables software companies to rapidly integrate and deploy an enterprise-ready biometric recognition system without the development and ongoing support challenges that are associated with low-level biometric SDKs (software development kits). Unlike other forms of biometric technology that
can produce inconsistent results due to skin damage, environmental conditions, age, ethnicity, or other factors, the Fujitsu PalmSecure technology uses a near-infrared light to scan beneath the skin’s surface to capture a user’s unique palm vein pattern, resulting in extremely low occurrences of both false positive and false negative readings despite poor skin conditions.
