The company mentioned here took notice of the fact that self-service is a key part of the banking automation industry, and in response developed a new generation of innovative and competitive ATMs (Automated Teller Machines). The ATMs assist banks and financial institutions in providing more services to more customers, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
After evaluating different possible solutions, the company decided to use a PC-based architecture. Since PC technology is very mature and open-end suppliers are numerous, the availability of vast software resources and environments greatly reduces development time.
To connect the peripherals needed inside the ATM, the company chose MOXA Smartio C168. This one 8-port serial card was all that was needed to link the ATM's magnetic card reader, cash dispenser, cash insertion unit, balance sheet printer, keypad, and modem. |
