Smart card systems provide the ideal platform on which to integrate cashless vending systems into access control and security suites.
Utilising the proven MIFARE smart card as our chosen technology, our cashless vending solution delivers a powerful range of benefits for both users and system operators.
As well as being used for access control purposes (with the access control number either programmed into a sector, or through use of the chip serial number CSN), the MIFARE card can also be programmed with a monetary value for use with a cashless vending system. It can also be used for a whole range of other applications library services, car park entry etc.
Integration to the cashless vending software application is also possible if the system uses an ODBC compliant database, allowing the cashless vending system access to, and direct use of, all of the users, cards and events within the access control system.
“When a customer arrives on site to access their own storage unit, they present a fob to open a weatherproof, vandal resistant box that holds the finger print scanner. Here they must enter their individual PIN and scan their finger print. Once authorised the gates open and customers may proceed to their own unit. As soon as their fingerprint is recognised, they are authorised to access the keypads that protect their individual storage unit and so to access it. This dual protection level is very unusual in our industry; ordinarily sites only have perimeter access control protection with a traditional lock protecting each individual unit."
