Vending System

The Acronym's Vending System works with RFID readers/recorders and a control software.

With this software it's possible to load credits in the cards that can be discounted in vending machines, playgrounds or turnstiles.

The software allows the credits charging or transfer and stores a log with all the transfers and charges made by the cash operators.

The credits that will be discounted by the readers, with autonomous operation, connected to vending machines or turnstiles, are saved in the cards.

The data security is guaranteed through a password system, encrypted data and data crossing.

Control turnstiles, vending machines or playgrounds without real money! Only with cards...

Applications:

- Vending machines - the reader can activate a machine to give a product after decrementing the credits in the previously loaded card;

- Access control - the reader can activate doors discouting existing credits on the card. Once there are no credits on the card, the reader does not allow the acess until the card is recharged;

- Turnstiles/canteens - the reader, together with a simple turnstile, lets you control who has access to a meal. For each use is decremented a credit in the card;

- Playgrounds - a reader must be connected individually to each playground machine. Each of the readers can be configured differently with respect to the time that the machine remains on as to the credit amount that it decreases on the card;

- Bus – the credit is deducted from the card on each trip. The passenger is granted with a credit thus ending the reader will signal an error.

The Vending software allows that an operator responsabile for managing the cash can load the cards with credit that was given to him.

The system works with a cascade credit transfer. A Master card can load credits in the cash operators cards. Thus the holder of the Master card will have full control over the amount of money it injects into the network. The operators cards can pass their credits to the final users.

The Vending software manages all credit transfers as well as it keeps track of cards in use and the amounts/credits transferred.
