Thales Gemalto Intelligent Document Reader AT10Ki

Intelligent Document Reader AT10Ki

The Gemalto Intelligent Document Reader AT10Ki offers fast, reliable inspection and authentication of electronic travel and identity documents. Designed for demanding border management and industries like banking and hospitality, it ensures accurate ID verification in cloud and virtual environments. Its ergonomic design with "landing lights" and document hold clip maximizes first time read rates, speeding up customer processing while fitting stylishly into upscale service areas.

Scanning documents has never been so easy.

The design of the Intelligent Document Reader AT10Ki is based on a detailed and exhaustive analysis of field experience and numerous deployed projects.

A new "landing lights" LED feedback arrangement and document hold-down clip naturally encourages the correct placement and use of the reader, regardless if the user is left or right handed, maximising first time read rate for faster customer processing.

Thales has created a new stylish look to fit into the décor of the most upmarket customer facing service desks.

iSeries Overview

The Intelligent “i” series readers include an embedded Arm® processor running Linux® meaning that for networked mode all the document processing is carried out on the reader. Ready for the cloud the Gemalto AT10Ki uses web style encrypted JSON messaging to simplify application development, deployment and maintenance.

For the operator and integrator this means:

The AT10Ki can connect to any mobile device, phone or tablet
The reader can be used in pool mode connecting to multiple devices (you can create reader farms)
A single computer can connect to multiple readers
Flexible install options
Lower development and life time IT costs
Direct connection with Software as a Service (SaaS) and enterprise back-end applications
