Passport Scanning Efficiency Through Innovative Product Design
Innovative “shark fin” document guides featured in the HID ATOM full-page document reader ensure that even the most widely traveled passports quickly slide onto the glass, automatically easing down bent corners for a perfect first-time read.

For the Ultimate Document Reading Flexibility in Passenger Processing
When passenger processing requirements change quickly in the terminal, you need a device that can respond accordingly and read passenger documentation on demand.
The BGR750, with ethernet connectivity, can be deployed rapidly and in any location, enabling passenger documentation to be scanned without needing a PC connection.
