Innovative Technology attended a week of exhibitions last week in London, Riga and Stuttgart. IFSEC, Casino Operations Summit and UNITI all took place over the same few days with the company showcasing their latest cash handling devices and biometric solutions at all three events.

Commenting on the security show in London, Andrew O’Brien, Product Manager for ITL’s Biometric Division said, “It was our debut exhibiting at IFSEC and we had lots of interest in our biometric solutions. ICU Pro uses facial analysis to control access to buildings or allow hygienic contactless entry whilst ICU Lite can be used for age estimation to control access to age restricted goods and services. Many visitors to the stand where impressed with the contactless nature of our access control solutions and how we use our own AI algorithms developed and trained over many years to guarantee a highly secure system, rather than algorithms that are publicly available.”

Speaking about UNITI, the trade fair for the retail petroleum and car wash industries, Thorsten Labusch, VP of Sales & Business Development (RKB) for ITL said, “We are delighted to report three busy days atUNITI with many requests and considerable interest in CashGenic and MyCheckr. Our hygienic cash automation kit, CashGenic, can successfully automate the counting and handling of cash, therefore saving time and generating greater efficiencies for retailers. Whilst MyCheckr is ideal for retailers who sell age restricted goods, assisting staff with age checks by providing an extra level of assurance when challenging underage customers for ID. Our stand was positioned next to our German Trading Partner, PerfectMoney and the collaboration worked nicely at the show.”

Feeding back on ITL’s participation at the Casino Operators Summit in Riga, Enrique Jütten, VP of Sales & Business Development (GAV) commented, “We received some great feedback at the COS exhibition in Riga.  We had an enjoyable and productive time with partners and colleagues in the casino industry after such a long break. Our NV200 Spectral was the clear star of the show for the casino market, themost technically advanced note validator in its class ensures efficient cash processing, and its’ modular design feature allows customers to easily add additional functionality such as note recycling.  Customer were pleased that we can continue to fulfil worldwide orders for all our core products.”

ITL’s next big event will be EuroCIS in Dusseldorf which takes place on 31st May - 2nd June 2022. Innovative will have their full range of solutions for the retail industry on stand 9 / A19.

Innovative Technology Ltd (ITL) will be joining industry professionals at the end of this month at EuroCIS 2022 - the Leading Trade Fair for Retail Technology. They will be showcasing some exciting new retail solutions in Hall 9 stand A19 which are set to transform cash handling for the retail industry. The event, which takes place in Düsseldorf, Germany from 31st May - 2nd June 2022, is long-awaited by many in the retail industry after a series of postponements due to the COVID pandemic.   

Commenting on their presence at the show, Thorsten Labusch, VP of Sales & Business Development for ITL said, “We have a larger stand at EuroCIS this year to allow us to bring something new to the industry! An advanced, high volume mixed bill recycler, this revolutionary innovation is designed specifically for retail checkouts to accelerate customer throughput. This new product will automate floatmanagement to keep machines running and significantly reduce expensive service calls. Plus, its significant recycling capabilities resultsin fewer refills to increase staff efficiencies.”

Thorsten continued, “Our latest biometric solutions offering anonymous age estimation will also be a focal point on the stand. We will demonstrate how easy and affordable it is to implement a highly accurate AI-based biometric age estimation solution to help retailers avoid selling age-restricted goods to minors.  ICU Lite can be implemented directly into self-checkout terminals or kiosks and MyCheckr is a stand-alone device designed for manned checkouts to give an extra level of assurance when till operators are checking age ID. Because all processes are performed locally with no recurring fees per age estimation, they provide a cost-effective solution available for all. ICU technology can also be used to perform 1:1 face match comparison for photo ID purposes and for consumer targeted advertising.”

Concluding Thorsten said, “The team will also showcase how CashGenic - hygienic cash automation solution can be used in various settings to automate the counting and handling of cash, therefore saving time and generating greater efficiencies for businesses. EuroCIS visitors will be able to demo our full retail Spectral range including our advanced recycler, the Spectral Payout perfect for multi-denomination recycling at fast speeds and Spectral BNF (bunch note feeder) for large-scale cash deposits. The demos we have planned for our stand will show how simple it is to install and combine our retail products to give an end solution ideal for retailers. We look forward to seeing existing and new customers at the show and welcome visitors to our stand anytime throughout the three-day event.”

Innovative Technology (ITL) reported a successful debut at the Retail Technology Show (RTS) last week at London Olympia.   The organisation showcased how their wide range of cash handling and leading biometric solutions for the retail and hospitality industry can be utilised to help increase efficiency and enhance customer experience.  

Chris Wright, Business Development Manager, commented, “This was our first time exhibiting at RTS, and we are delighted to announce that it was a great success.  We were really impressed with how busy the show was throughout both days. Our biometric solutions went down a storm with many show visitors trying out MyCheckr for the first time. This latest product in our biometrics range provides age estimation technology in a compact, plug-in device. MyCheckr is designed to give an extra level of assurance when till operators are checking age during the sale of age-restricted goods.  The stand-alone device with display screen, accurately performs anonymous age estimation and using an LED indicator, it informs staff when the customer is deemed under 25 and therefore needs to provide ID. It requires no integration, and has no recurring charges per age check, making it a cost-effective solution to help retailers avoid fines and support the Challenge 25 policy.”

ITL also had their traditional cash handling products for retail applications on display including CashGenic, their all-in-one solution that automates cash transactions and eliminates the need for staff to handle cash.

Chris continued, “CashGenic automates payment processes to remove the need for cash register handovers and reduce cash counting, therefore saving time and generating greater efficiencies for the business, in a secure and hygienic way. Visitors could demo the full suite of products that are utilised within the CashGenic system, such as the Spectral Payout for superior mixed note recycling and the Smart Coin System for bulk, mixed coin recycling.”

Concluding Chris commented, “Overall the show was a great success and we’ve already signed up for next year.  I am looking forward to contacting those who visited our stand over the next few weeks to show how implementing our solutions can generate real cost savings for their businesses.”
