MXP Protect is an array of important new features and hardware, that seamlessly integrate in the MXP application platform or can be used as standalone application. MXP Protect allows cruise companies to implement controlled processes across critical areas of shipboard operation and to ensure the safety of all onboard.
The following features will be available:
• MXP Mobile Security and Gangway App: Thermal scanner with facial recognition technology
• MXP Mobile Check-In App: Port specific health questionnaires and health certificate collection
• MXP PMS: Management of medical and health documents
• MXP Mobile Housekeeping App: Quarantined cabin management and logging of cleaning/sanitization of cabins and public areas
• MXP Digital Menus: A part of the MXP mobile POS solution, this self-service app allows guests to place orders for in-cabin delivery
• MXP HR: Manage pre-existing conditions, improve scheduling and consider travel restrictions
• MXP eLearning: Teach crew about new procedures (even before they come back on board)
• MXP Mobile Time & Attendance: Thermal scanner with facial recognition technology and continuous health checks of crew members
• MXP Mobile Restaurant Reservation/Seating App: Control capacities to prevent overcrowding

Advanced thermal scanner hardware with face recognition technology can be used in the terminal, at the security checkpoint, during check-in, at the gangway or at strategic locations around the ship. Data is continuously synchronized, and alerts are triggered. Those scanners will be fully integrated with the various MXP mobile applications and can also function in the terminal without ship Wi-Fi.
“The health of guests and crew is of utmost importance. The new functionality comes as free upgrade for all existing clients and the cost of licenses will be deferred until next year for new clients”, says Hannes Lindthaler, Managing Director of MarineXchange Software.
