- Issuing RFID cards for visitor management
- Use in conjunction with access controls for customer-specific access scenarios
- Interface (API) for administration of the automatic machinery and devices by external applications
- Data export according to the recommended standard description from by the tax authorities
The following areas of application are considered:

The machine supports interactive operation in a modern design and with innovative features such as detecting the presence of people. The high-resolution monitor with “Full HD” supports a responsive design, offers a wide range of options for user interface design of the control elements. The lighting for the tile panel elements reacts intuitively and supports the user during operation in the respective application scenario.
The software architecture is based on using a hierarchical form of so-called state machines. The advantage of this strategy allows for very stable and reliable operation, whilst controlling the individual payment components in an automatic pay station. Transaction-secure processing of payment functions can only be ensured by this method.
Data transfer can be mapped via a local server or via the cloud variant. For optimum breakdown reliability, a network connection with a connected Internet connection is absolutely definitely required, in order to guarantee the greatest possible fail-safe characteristics by remote control maintenance.
