New hits at Passenger Terminal Expo: application for CUSS enrolment, SMART tool for monitoring and floorwalker service app

Materna will be launching its new CUSS enrolment and ID-check application, showcasing the next-generation of biometrics integration in its self-service solutions.

Materna has developed its own SMART tool to give airports a better overview of traffic numbers, maintenance requirements, failures, downtimes and peak loads. This intuitive monitoring tool allows you to analyze the performance of airport applications down to single transaction level and show them in an intuitive dashboard-based control center.

ARGUS, the new floorwalker and service agent app by Materna, will also be presented at the PTE. It provides agents with a full overview of all kiosks and stations at all times. Agents can be notified directly via Android or iOS-based smartphones if there are calls for assistance and they can also handle simple kiosk administration tasks.
