Hannover/Germany, 28/03/2012. (euro adhoc) - The first newly
developed inspection devices for e-Tickets developed by Hoeft &
Wessel have just been delivered to the Danish State Railway (DSB).
DSB project head Jesper Frederik Gottlieb and Hoeft & Wessel sales
head Torsten Seipelt were delighted with delivery being made on
schedule. With a weight of only about 200 grams, the small and
ergonomically designed device sets new benchmarks. In times of
e-Ticketing, as a result the conductor´s current mechanical validator
are replaced by electronic ones, which can identify and read RFID
tags, writing (OCR) and 2D barcode.

As a first step, 1,400 mobile readers of the new model series with
the product name almex.motive are to be supplied by Hoeft & Wessel to
DSB and then used by train attendants from early 2013. The delivery
of the reader is in connection with the introduction of the
"Rejsekort" e-Ticket in Denmark: the card is to be available both as
a personalised smartcard and in the form of an anonymised card
capable of being charged or topped up. Using the new almex.motive,
these cards are to be checked on board of trains in future. This will
save money and improve the level of comfort and convenience to
passengers. A special feature of the almex.motive is the ability to
create a wireless connection with a conventional handheld acting as a
host. As a result, this new development created by Hoeft & Wessel
represents a world novelty to be deployed for the first time in the
north of Europe.
