SUBSYSTEM 04
Adaptive Check-In Gate
Every vehicle and every travel document read at the check-in lane, tied together into one identity record — and handed to your check-in system before the driver reaches the window.
CAPABILITIES
What the Adaptive Check-In Gate handles
Four things happen at the lane, all of them recognition. The kiosk, the barrier and the sign are your integrator's — what we remove is the part that needs a person to read, type, and check.
Plate Identification
Einar cameras read the plate as the vehicle pulls up and post it to your check-in system in under a second — so the booking is on screen before the driver speaks.
Travel Document Reading
The Osmond Advanced Passport Reader captures the NFC chip and MRZ at the lane and authenticates the document — the slowest part of a manual check-in, done in seconds.
One Identity Record
Plate, document and lane are bound into a single time-stamped record with image evidence, stored in GDS and exposed through documented APIs. Wiring that record into your check-in system is an integration we scope with you — every port asks for it differently.
Exceptions Made Visible
Low-confidence reads, unreadable documents and mismatches are flagged with their evidence, so your staff handle the handful of cases that need a human instead of every vehicle.
SEE IT IN ACTION
The Adaptive Check-In Gate, in 13 seconds.
A truck arrives at the kiosk. ANPR reads the plate and posts it with the document data to the check-in system, which clears the booking and releases the lane; the LED panel and the driver-monitor sign turn from Wait to Go, and the barrier lifts. From pull-up to release — no operator at the booth, no clipboard, no paper. The kiosk, sign and barrier in this lane are the port's own equipment.

HOW IT WORKS
Check-in, validation, boarding — in four moves
The Adaptive Check-In Gate supplies the recognition half of the transaction — plate and travel document — and your check-in system supplies the decision. From driver pull-up to vehicle release: typically 35 seconds end-to-end, with no agent on the line.
Identify
Einar cameras read the plate as the vehicle arrives at the kiosk, and the read is posted straight to your check-in system — so the booking is on screen before the driver lowers the window.
Confirm
The driver confirms the passenger count at the kiosk and presents travel documents to the Osmond reader, which captures and authenticates them. Low-confidence reads are flagged with their evidence for a supervisor.
Assign
Your check-in system matches the record to the booking and makes the call. Its lane LEDs show the deck assignment and its barrier opens — driven by the decision, not by the camera.
Settle
The identity record — plate, document, lane, timestamp, images — is stored in GDS and available through documented APIs. Your ticketing system settles the transaction and updates the manifest.
WHAT WE PUT IN THE LANE
Four units, and the platform under them
This is the whole of our delivery at a check-in lane. Everything the driver actually touches — the kiosk, the sign, the barrier — comes from your integrator and connects to these.
Einar Camera
Reads the plate at the check-in lane and posts it to the port system the moment the vehicle pulls up.
Osmond Passport Reader
Captures the NFC chip and MRZ and authenticates the travel document — the EES-ready half of the check-in.
Gate Control PC
Industrial fanless PC that runs the lane, buffers locally if the network drops, and speaks to your systems over documented APIs.
Globessey Data Server
Optional. Stores the identity record with its image evidence, on your own hardware, and serves it to whatever needs it.
THE RECORD
What we hand your check-in system.
One identity record per vehicle, complete with its evidence — and nothing more. The booking match, the fare, the lane decision and the barrier stay in your systems; this is the input they were missing.
Values shown are one illustrative event. No booking, fare or entitlement is evaluated here — that decision belongs to your check-in system.
BORDER-READY · EES & ETIAS
Read the travel document at the lane.
As EES and ETIAS add checks for non-EU travellers, the data side of every crossing can slow the gate. The Osmond Advanced Passport Reader by Adaptive Recognition captures and validates the document right at the kiosk — and the same GDS platform stores it.
Reads the passport NFC chip and machine-readable zone (MRZ) and authenticates the document
EES/ETIAS-ready document capture, linked to the vehicle and booking via ANPR
Flows into the Globessey Data Server under a GDPR-by-design regime — data minimisation, retention, audit trail
The mandated live biometric capture (face and fingerprints) and the immigration decision remain with Border Force and the EES kiosks — Osmond handles the document and data so everything around them moves faster.
SCOPE OF SUPPLY
What we deliver — and what stays yours.
We supply the recognition layer: the cameras, the readers, the engines that turn a moving vehicle into a record, and the data platform underneath. The lane itself — its civils, its power, its steel and its screens — is procured and installed by you or your integrator, to your own standards and suppliers.
Delivered by Adaptive Recognition
- Einar cameras reading the plate at the lane
- Osmond Advanced Passport Reader for the travel document
- The industrial gate control PC
- Globessey Data Server, on your own hardware (optional)
Provided by the port or its integrator
- Self-service kiosks and the software running on them
- LED displays and driver signage
- Barriers and traffic lamps
- Electrical cabinet, power supply, cabling and network
- The check-in logic itself — matching a read to a booking, clearing it, and commanding the barrier
We identify the vehicle and read the document, and hand that record over. The booking check, the lane decision and the barrier command belong to your check-in system: no validation runs on the camera or inside the Globessey Data Server.
Where Adaptive Check-In Gate earns its keep.
Wherever vehicles need to be matched against bookings, schedules, or permits, Adaptive Check-In Gate keeps the line moving.
Ferry Boarding
Plate and document read the moment the car pulls up, so your booking system can clear it, route it, and update the manifest before the ramp.
Ro-Ro Freight Gates
Every incoming truck identified at the Ro-Ro gate, so your booking system can match the cargo, route the rig, and clear hazmat in one pass.
Restricted Port Access
Reliable identification for restricted port zones, crew-only lanes, and bonded areas — your access rules run on the record, and exceptions surface to the harbour master.
