L-DCS cutomated Boarding is the gate application responsible for controlling the boarding and
reconciliation of passengers.

Use of cTB2 and 2D bar coded boarding passes and boarding gate readers leads to fast, positive
reconciliation. ½unning totals and missing passenger lists allow agents to continuously monitor
boarding progress from any workstation, giving a truly integrated Local DCS solution.
