CASH HANDLING An area that does give cause for concern is the


implementation and utilisation of modern technology by the fraudster. Highly sophisticated devices are now being used, communicating directly with machine peripherals and in some cases the machine processor board.


Violeta Perez: There are several operational issues


associated with low-denomination cash handling, such as petty theft from staff, the operational cost of collecting the machines, and the long coin counting and wrapping sessions which are huge time- consuming tasks. There are also labour costs when technical staff


have to clear coin jams, machine vandalism because of the coins in the cash boxes, and – in the case of locations that make periodic or weekly collections – there is an inability to be proactive, because there is no real-time accounting.


John Carroll: The biggest challenge is to account for


the flow of coins and bills. Casino International: What is the most


important piece of advice you would offer to businesses looking to invest in cash handling and validation systems?


Miren Jiménez Calvo: The operator’s profit is directly


related to the machine management costs and to the cash collected. Therefore they require reliable payment systems that avoid machine stoppages, reducing maintenance costs and increasing income.


Phaedra Marsh: Don’t take the least expensive


option – since you are going to spend the money anyway, make a wise investment in a system that is effective and reliable and can give you a good return. Operators should also look at products with


enhanced validation technology and manipulation protection. We invest a lot in research to make money


F 38 JULY/AUGUST 2010 Product focus: JCM iVizion


ollowing their long road of successful product introductions, JCM Global set the standard once again when they presented this year’s latest new product innovation; iVizion, a bill validator that JCMsays will


change the way the industry looks at banknote validation. What makes this bill validator so unique is its


intelligent software, superior sensing technology and fastest banknote processing speed in the industry. The intelligent software is designed to not only validate currency, but also to assist in cash management. The contact image sensing technology captures the full image of the banknote or ticket. This full image capture provides the highest level of security and the highest level of


handling more secure, which means maximum fraud protection and lower service costs, which easily make up for the higher initial price. A higher-quality product means lower running costs for operators and higher customer returns and satisfaction.


Adam G. Steinberg: Choosing the right system and


system vendor is critical. A cashless system will lie at the very heart of the business and must be rock-solid reliable and be well-supported in the market. At Embed we say that you buy the system once but


you operate it forever, and for that reason it is important to work with a company that will be there for the future, will deliver a high level of ongoing support and and will continue to innovate.


Polly Wiseman: How much cash do you need to


handle? Can you reduce the amount? Can amounts of cash be held in secure areas to limit the amount spread around a location? To limit fraud risk, what type of validation


technology is employed on equipment? Low- risk items of equipment are rarely subject to repeated coin frauds and as such can utilise lower-priced and less sophisticated validators. In comparison, a


£500 B3 machine should employ a high-technology coin validator, note validator and hopper – greater expense for greater protection.


Violeta Perez:


Among the most important things operators should focus on when

acceptance. Because the sensing technology optically centers


the note, the banknote to banknote processing time is the fastest in the industry. When it comes to security, JCM is well known for providing good secure products, and iVizion continues with this tradition. With a combination of sophisticated optical security and patented mechanical anti- stringing, iVizion detects and prevents manipulation or mechanical cheating. Even more remarkable benefits of iVision include


expanded memory capacity which allows iVision to accept up to 100 banknotes, all four ways, so multicurrency use is no problem. iVision has been designed with ease of maintenance in mind. New features include a modular design, a sealed banknote path to keep dust and water out, and a self calibration feature. Stacker up or stacker down, just select which option best suits your operation.
