ARINC Inc. certified the compact IER 918 common use self service (CUSS) check-in kiosk for operation with the ARINC enhanced SelfServ CUSS kiosk platform.

Certification followed several weeks of integration and testing of the advanced functionality of the IER 918.

"Many small and mid-sized airports will now be able to afford CUSS systems…" Keith Margerison, senior director, ARINC Airports Factory Division, said of the certification.

The new IER 918 is a counter-top kiosk that can also be installed on a standalone pedestal or integrated into a counter.

Standard features include:

  • Advanced touchscreen.
  • 2D barcode boarding-pass printer.
  • Hybrid reader for magnetic and smart cards.

Options include:

  • Bag-tag printer.
  • Full-page e-passport reader.
  • Barcode scanner.

"Matched with ARINC's enhanced SelfServ technology with Java, it will support thermal receipts, passport readers, 2D barcodes and more. And it will easily accommodate future applications, such as biometrics and identity card recognition," Margerison said.

ARINC SelfServ deployments include more than 1,135 multi-airline CUSS kiosks supporting 29 airlines at 29 airports, and a number of sizable CUSS projects recently undertaken in Asia.

Additional information about the IER 918 is available on the IER web site at http://www.ier.aero.
