Musical, the way of life
There are various opera house/theater through the entire Europe. Given the popularity and cultural roots, hundreds, sometimes even thousands of audience.

Flocking in to enjoy honor this cultural tradition. Given the nature of these events, corporation behind the mega event are looking for ways to serve and process audience in an orderly fashion, while maintaining below budget. Scanning speed and reliability would be the key features to either make, or break the deal. Traditionally, someone has to be around the main entrance to process the audience, including admission tickets, seat guidance, and presenting a brief show schedule / outline.

A modern opera house these days can easily host at least 10, 000 audiences. A typical building will have numerous entrances to divert the traffic. Employees need to be deployed at all entrances to process the guest. This creates extra management efforts and high level of customer satisfaction is difficult to maintain. With proper application, ZEBEX Z-7010 Series can be configure as automatic kiosk stand to process admission stubs, providing seat assignment guidance, and to display a brief show schedule for marketing purpose.

The Opportunity

In this circumstance, ZEBEX is lucky to have a remarkable distributor in one of Africa's largest economies. The company has technical background; its engineers write computer software and do product maintenance. It sells a variety of computer peripherals, including barcode scanner, POS and data collector. We knocked on its door with entry-level handheld laser scanners. After the relationship and mutual trust were built, we introduced it ZEBEX omnidirectional products. Now it carries 30% single-laser devices and 70% omnidirectional ones, mainly Z-6082 in-counter scanner and Innova Z-6170 hands-free scanners.

Visitor simply "wave" the admission ticket at the barcode scanner from any direction, and the omni-scanning engine will pickup and decode the barcode swiftly. After the barcode has been successfully decoded, seat information and direction to the seat is then display on screen. Visitor can simply follow the instructions to their seat with ease.

After processing the admission, additional Z-7010 Series can be deployed to display a highly interactive, touch based marketing clip for a brief show schedule.
