Where Each Scanner Fits

Why Engineers Choose XTIOT for Airport Applications

Example: Airport Self-Service Bag Drop

Hardware:

• XT7590HD at check-in kiosk

• XT206M3 embedded in bag drop counter

• XT8002B PDA for ramp agents

Passenger experience:

1. Scans mobile boarding pass at kiosk → prints bag tag

2. Walks 10 meters to bag drop station

3. Holds tag under scanner → door opens

4. Places bag on conveyor → done

Time: Under 2 minutes from kiosk to bag drop

Agent experience:

• Ramp agent scans bag tag with PDA at aircraft side

• System confirms bag loaded → passenger sees "Bag loaded" in app
