Touch-screen kiosk terminals have been installed in the
production halls for the new Airbus A380 aircraft.
More than 200 terminals, developed by 3M Touch Systems, will be
used by Airbus engineers in Germany to access construction plans,
technical data and employee information.
The terminals have reduced the need for staff to carry laptops
to access technical information, which Airbus said improves
security in a field where there is a constant threat of industrial
espionage or data transfer.
