Branch Automation - Data Transfer Application

Cash processing (cash handling) equipment such as counters, sorters, and currency discriminator are functionally developed to accompany tellers' daily routines. These machines produce valuable data related to the cash that is processed. Some of these are listed in the following:

• Date and time
• System ID of cash processing (banknote handling) equipment
• Operating mode of machine
• Currency (if multiple currencies are processed)
• Total amount and number of denominations
• Total amount and number of operations
• Serial numbers of valid banknotes
• Teller ID
• Number of counterfeit banknotes

Cash processing (cash handling) data may differ in content and format depending on the make, model and purpose of the equipment that delivers it. While some machines can only give the denomination and counting information; some also deliver the serial numbers.

There is not a common data standard that these machines comply with. The level of computer control that can be attained on these equipments may also vary depending on the sophistication of that particular equipment which process the cash.

Maestro data transfer application is a smart integration layer that can communicate with and control cash processing equipment of all sorts.

It supports common communication interfaces such as RS-232, USB, parallel ports, and TCP/IP, but thanks to its open-ended design, we can develop drivers for any type of proprietary equipment without a hassle, given that communication protocols and data formats of that specific equipment is available.
