Scheidt & Bachmann has extended its activities in access control of fairs and stadiums. In the large project of "Neue Messe Stuttgart" (New Stuttgart Exhibition Centre, Germany), Scheidt & Bachmann both furnishes the entire access control system of the exhibition centre and the ultramodern parking system. The high-performance access gate XTS35 is equipped for the Exhibition Centre of Stuttgart with an omni-directional bar code scanner and with a 10.4" TFT colour screen. The bar code scanner reads bar codes on tickets of various sizes, e.g. also “Print-at-home tickets”, which fair visitors can print on their own PC printers in A4 size.

On the colour screen, the visitor can view, apart from his personal data, also interesting messages, information and logos of current events.
In another project, the fair tickets are provided with one-dimensional and two-dimensional bar codes. The one-dimensional bar code serves for quick and reliable access control, as before. The two-dimensional bar code includes additional visitor data, permitting off-line recording, for instance for person control or for contact data recording at the individual fair stands.
