Accessorize Your Array!
Camera Technology
• IATA Resolution 740 defines “License
Plate” T-code (interleaved 2 of 5)
• Traditional line scanner technology
augmented with cameras
• No longer require bar code alignment
• The addition of camera technology
increases read rate of approximately 2%
from a standard 12-head line scanner
array

To Fill a Gap in the BHS Industry
• The Industry is in desperate need of a BHS contractor to fill
it’s needs for the smaller BHS projects
• Projects range in value from <$1M to $20M
• The “Big 4” in US market are currently overwhelmed with large scale
projects $50M to $200M and greater.
• Smaller competitors are struggling and/or unreliable
• Expedite projects
• One stop shopping with O&M
