ABOUT APENHEUL
introduction
The concept of Apenheul (Ape Hill) was developed in
the ’60 when a passionate monkey expert decided
to open a park where monkeys run free. In 1971
the park was officially opened. The visitors park is
divided in 9 areas. In most of the areas the monkeys
run free. For decades, Apenheul has been
researching the behavior of monkeys. Apart from
visitors, Apenheul also welcomes primatologists.
More and more event parks introduce E-ticketing. Apenheul started
working with this system last year (2007). The barcodes on E-tickets
contain information which, when scanned, is checked and stored
in the central database. Apenheul can herewith monitor the profile
of its visitors. The involvement of Logic Lines and the experience
Apenheul already has with Opticon products, made Apenheul chose
for this new Opticon hardware.

CASE STUDY
Access Control: PHL7112
SOLUTION
The PHL7112 is a rugged terminal, ideal for
outdoor situations. The pistol grip enables
extra comfort while using the device. After
scanning the barcode on the E-ticket, the
WiFi-network immediately sends the data
to the host system. The software of Logic
Lines gives the staff a clear overview of
the number of visitors and the visitor
frequency. Last year (2007), Apenheul
CHALLENGE
An E-ticketing system can help
organizations register and manage visitors
in a fast way. One of the requirements
of the new system was to be able to
analyze the visitor frequency in realtime. Therefore, the E-tickets are supplied
with a barcode, so that the ticket can be
identified by a barcode scanner. As soon
as the scanner recognizes the barcode,
the visitors can access the park. Apenheul
has not worked with barcode scanners at
the entrance before. During the research
process several scanners from different
suppliers have been tested. Apenheul
chose for the PHL7112 of Opticon.
“E-ticketing helps

a fast way”
PHL2700
started working with E-tickets. Visitors
can now order and pay the tickets online
and print them. Visitors with an E-ticket do
not have to wait at the cash register and
check-in anymore. They can directly walk
to the entrance of the park. The number
of E-tickets increases monthly. At the
moment 27,5% of the tickets is bought
online.
Apart from the PHL7112, Apeheul also
uses the PHL2700. This programmable
terminal is suitable for different wireless
applications. Apenheul uses the PHL2700
for inventory activities in the souvenir
shop. The terminal is equippe with 8 MB
memory, enough for intensive use. The
large display makes it easy to electronically
generate and check order lists. The scaners
are batch collection devices. The identified
information of multiple scanners can be
uploaded to a central database. The solid
housing of the PHL2700 is rugged enough
to resist drops up to 1.5 meter. This makes
the terminal suitable for use in lightindustrial situations
