DESKO was founded in 1991 by Werner Zahn and Bruno Geyer. With their years of experience in digital data capturing and a lot of innovative ideas in mind, both dreamed of establishing their own company.

The name of the company was found quickly: DESKO, an acronym for Data Entry, Solutions and COncepts. DESKO, not just a name, is the description of what the company provides to its customers.

From airline and airport industry, to public authorities, to banks and hotels, DESKO´s fields of expertise are many, and helped, to became a successful international company with subsidiaris in the USA and Singapore, and sold products to more than 100 countries worldwide.

  • Boarding Gate Reader for Integration or Standalone

    Our BGR 504 pro is the state-of-the-art boarding gate reader, perfect for integration into counter, kiosk or gates. It can also be used as standalone solution at the boarding gate. The scanner is extremely efficient and easy to use thanks to its large scanning area and built-in barcode engine for 1D and 2D BCBP reading. Its multicolor display and two large LEDs on each side give an immediate and highly visible feedback, whether the scanned ticket is valid or not, to the passenger as well as the agent.

    The DESKO BGR 504 pro is based on a robust flatbed scan technology for highest and super-fast barcode read rates. Because of its barrier free flatbed design the device allows for user-friendly mobile boarding pass reading from smart phones or large tablet displays (i.e. iPad).

    A large multicolor LCD display for text and picture display, multicolor LEDs for clear visual feedback and an adjustable volume control buzzer for acoustic feedback make the BGR 504 pro the ideal device for a fast and trouble free boarding process.

    DESKO’s smart device approach and optional features like NFC boarding guarantee a future-proof infrastructure and protect your investment.
