The whole range of digital document capture
Thanks to OCR technology and an optional chip card and magnetic strip reader, the NEPTUN chrom can capture a variety of documents and cards:
Magnetic strip cards
e.g. customer cards, frequent flyer cards and credit cards or bank cards
Tickets with magnetic strip
e.g. admission tickets
OCR camera
for the machine-readable zone, e.g. passports, ID cards and visas
Chip cards
e.g. credit and debit cards or insurance cards
In contrast to pure swipe readers such as the DESKO IDenty chrom®, NEPTUN chrom allows for a wide range of applications thanks to the efficient combination of a modern keyboard layout with full-travel keys and numeric keypad as well as a data reader. In addition to reading documents and cards, data can be input using the keys.
Multifunctional and equipped with the latest technology
The NEPTUN chrom is much more than a typical keyboard. As the preferred keyboard of airlines worldwide, it is used at many international airports. Apart from the typical keys including numeric keypad, it is equipped with an integrated swipe reader featuring an OCR camera (Optical Character Recognition) as a standard option. This camera for optical character recognition is suitable for reading out documents such as passports or IDs. In addition, NEPTUN chrom can optionally be equipped with the tried-and-tested magnetic strip reading method to read frequent flyer cards, customer cards, credit cards or bank cards. Other additional features are available for integration such as a chip card reader and/or an RFID module with integrated antenna for reading biometric passports, credit cards etc.
Despite its multifunctional design, the sturdy NEPTUN chrom is very compact and fits in working environments with limited space, for instance on tight counters for airport check-in as well as bank counters.
Water- and dust protected in accordance with IP54
Apart from its excellent functionality and exceptional ease of use, the compact NEPTUN chrom is also uniquely sturdy and is certified according to the protective class IP54. This means that the entire keyboard including keys and reading slot is protected against water and dust.
Accidentally spilled a glass of water on the keyboard? No problem – the water-resistant keyboard will remain fully functional for use.
The device’s sturdy construction prevents water from getting into the electronics. Disinfectants are no problem either, since the keys are disinfectable. Protection against water and dust enables this compact keyboard a long service life cycle. In addition, the IP54 certification ensures reduced downtimes: the reliable NEPTUN chrom supports you around the clock with your work. All this makes the disinfectable, dustproof and water-protected keyboard the top choice especially in airports and other check-in areas.
