Thales (Gemalto) AT10K HR-550 OEM Document Reader
Details
High-resolution passport scanning built for OEM integration
The Thales Gemalto AT10K HR-550 OEM Document Reader is designed for integrators who need to inspect, image, and capture data from travel documents, electronic travel documents, and airline industry barcodes.
Its low profile and simple shape make it ideal for integration into self-service airport kiosks, automated passport control gates, counters, desks, railway terminals, cruise terminals, and other high-traffic identity verification environments.
With high-resolution 550 DPI imaging, intuitive passenger guidance, hoodless operation, barcode reading, MRZ capture, and SDK access to OCR data and images, the AT10K HR-550 OEM gives integrators a powerful document reading platform in a compact form factor.
Designed for kiosks, gates, and self-service travel workflows
The AT10K HR-550 OEM is built for environments where the reader needs to become part of a larger system. Its low-profile form and simple shape make it easier to integrate into kiosks, desks, and automated passport control gates.
This makes it especially useful for airport, railway, and cruise terminal applications where travelers need to scan passports, paper boarding passes, mobile boarding passes, or identity documents quickly and with minimal assistance.
Instead of requiring frequent staff intervention, the reader’s design helps guide users naturally, improving first-time read rates and supporting faster passenger processing.
Built for self-service environments where speed, clarity, and placement guidance matter.
- Low-profile OEM design for integration
- Ideal for self-service airport kiosks
- Supports automated passport control gates
- Useful for railway and cruise terminals
- Designed for infrequent traveler use
- Helps reduce queues and improve satisfaction
Intuitive passport scanning for travelers
The AT10K HR-550 OEM is the result of detailed field experience and deployed project analysis, with a design focused on self-service environments and infrequent travelers.
Its “landing lights” LED feedback arrangement naturally encourages correct document placement and reader use, regardless of whether the user is left-handed or right-handed.
Clear placement guidance helps travelers get it right the first time.
- Landing lights LED feedback guides document placement
- Designed for left-handed and right-handed users
- Helps maximize first-time read rates
- Supports faster passenger processing
Visible reading area for paper and mobile credentials
The virtually flat top, new user instruction decals, and hoodless design make the reading area clearly visible when users present a passport, paper boarding pass, or cell phone boarding pass.
This makes the scanning process easier to understand, especially in busy self-service settings where customers may be moving quickly and using the reader without staff support.
A clearer reading area means fewer mistakes and smoother self-service use.
- Virtually flat top improves reading area visibility
- User instruction decals guide document presentation
- Hoodless operation in many environments
- Supports paper and mobile boarding pass scanning
High-resolution document imaging
The AT10K HR-550 OEM reads and images multiple document types using visible, infrared, and ultraviolet light with 24-bit color and true-color image matching technology.
The high-resolution 550 DPI option, paired with a high-speed USB 3.1 host port, enables fast image capture for demanding authentication and data capture workflows.
- Visible, infrared, and ultraviolet imaging
- 24-bit color and true-color image matching
- High-resolution 550 DPI image capture
- High-speed USB 3.1 host port
Reads documents and barcodes in any orientation
The AT10K HR-550 OEM reads documents and barcodes placed at any rotation on the glass, then presents the images the correct way up based on features in the document.
This helps reduce placement errors and makes the reader more forgiving in self-service environments where users may not be familiar with the scanning process.
More forgiving placement means fewer retries and faster processing.
- Reads documents placed at any rotation
- Reads barcodes placed at any rotation
- Presents captured images correct way up
- Supports a smoother self-service experience
MRZ, barcode, and image capture
The AT10K HR-550 OEM captures OCR data from the Machine Readable Zone and reads 1D and 2D barcodes used by the airline industry on boarding passes and mobile phones.
Captured images can be accessed as BMP, PNG, or JPEG files, giving integrators flexibility for application workflows, storage, verification, and review.
- OCR data capture of the MRZ
- 1D and 2D barcode reading
- Reads paper boarding passes
- Reads mobile phone boarding passes
- Image access as BMP, PNG, or JPEG
Reliable scanning in real-world environments
Anti-glare technology helps eliminate image artifacts caused by laminates or optical variable devices, improving the quality of captured document images.
Auto-triggering detects the presence of a document automatically, helping reduce user input and making scanning more natural in integrated workflows.
Designed to capture cleaner images with less user effort.
- Anti-glare technology reduces image artifacts
- Auto-triggered document capture
- Document presence is automatically detected
- Hoodless operation in many environments
Built for easier physical integration
The AT10K HR-550 OEM includes side and bottom mounting points, making it easier to integrate into kiosks, desks, counters, and automated systems.
It also includes a hub with two ports for external peripherals, helping support more complete self-service or integrated workstation designs.
- Side mounting points for integration
- Bottom mounting points for integration
- Designed for kiosks and desks
- Hub includes two ports for external peripherals
Durable, low-maintenance construction
Low-scratch, low-iron, fully bonded glass with an oleophobic coating helps reduce maintenance and makes cleaning easier in high-use environments.
A chemically strengthened glass option without oleophobic coating is also available for advanced durability, while the internally sealed optical chamber helps prevent dust ingress.
Built for high-traffic use, easier cleaning, and long-term reliability.
- Low-scratch, low-iron, fully bonded glass
- Oleophobic coating for low maintenance and easy cleaning
- Chemically strengthened glass option for durability
- Internally sealed optical chamber helps prevent dust ingress
