ASPods - Empowering event entry, verification and scanning

Contact-free event entry with ASPods

ASPods (Autonomous Scanning Pods) use clever tech to deliver an improved user experience at the same time as increasing the efficiency and performance of your event entry process. Not only that, these free-standing wifi-enabled units can be used for entry, verification and scanning. Use them around your event, wherever you need to manage the flow of your attendees.

  • ASPods work with BARCODES from mobile devices, badges or paper printouts.
  • They provide a contact-free experience.
  • The ASPod allows attendees to self-scan their badge on entry to an event and at key check points such as entry to seminars.
  • The data collected provides event organisers with detailed measurement and reporting outputs.

Managing event attendance has evolved

Managing attendance at an event has evolved and with it the tech to deliver a smooth, uninterrupted experience. The desire to reduce touchpoints without compromising the level of data that can be acquired has resulted in the development of these sleek, portable units.

The ASPod gives event organisers the data they need to measure the performance of their event, meeting or conference programme and at the same time, a reduction in physical touchpoints.

What's more, the ASPod unit is wifi enabled which means you can position them around the venue, wherever you need to gather data.

The tech behind them has the power and the tools to manage entry scanning, session/seminar scanning, attendance and capacity control, verification scanning, access control and more!

Managing event attendance has evolved

Entry scanning

Allows your visitor to present a barcode to scan on entry to the event. Enables the event organiser to obtain attendance reports.

Session/Seminar scanning

Attendance – record attendance at sessions, visitors scan their badge before entering the session room.

Capacity control – for capacity-controlled sessions, see at a glance if the person is booked for that session and can enter the room. If the attendee hasn't booked and there is capacity remaining you can allow entry. If the attendee hasn't booked and there isn't capacity you can refuse entry.

Verification scanning

Verify the status of the visitor for specific activities or privileges such as a lunch entry, VIP bag, session entry and more.

Access control – confirm the visitor status for entry on a specific date or for access to specific areas.

Print scanning – allow badge collection from a designated badge collection point.

Q. What happens if they stop working?
A. Our onsite technicians will ensure the ASPods are working at all times. With their knowledge and expertise you need not worry.
