The Autumn Coin-Op Show (ACOS) 2017 took place at on 11 & 12th October at the Conference Centre (Level 3) at London Olympia.  A key industry hot topic at the event was TITO (Ticket-In Ticket-Out) and how interest is growing significantly across the UK amusement sector.  
 
Andy Bullock, Business Development Manager, commented, “An electrical fire at Chelsea Football Club led to a last-minute change of venue the day before ACOS 2017 was due to start but despite this the event was busy overall. As the use of TITO technology is growing we decided to use our stand at ACOS once again to highlight our complete range of ticketing solutions alongside our established coin and note handling products.”
 
Andy continued, “Our ticketing products proved very popular on the stand, in particular the NV12+ which is a revolutionary compact validator and ticket printer. It dramatically reduces operational costs by eliminating hopper starvation and reducing cash handling tasks. Its modular design combines an NV9 USB+ banknote validator with a high-performance printer unit and integral barcode reader, delivering a market leading ticketing system. The NV12+ accepts standard industry barcode tickets and has an unrestricted ticket print length, enabling it to print end of day audits as well as single tickets.”
 
As well as the popular NV12+, ITL had a range of other printing solutions on offer. From standalone coupon printers that allow unlimited branding opportunities to combined banknote validator and ticket printer products, all designed to suit several different applications. ITL’s newest product, the NV200 Spectral was also on display at the show. The NV200 Spectral has state of the art spectral sensors which offers complete note image capture (highest spectral coverage) to authenticate the validity of notes. The unit boasts 99%+ first time acceptance of new and street grade notes, has a note to note processing time of 2 seconds and delivers outstanding fraud protection by using optical and mechanical anti-strimming technology.
 
Andy concluded, “This was our fourth ACOS and it’s always a great opportunity to meet with our existing customers and display our latest products.  With the round £1 coin demonetised on the 15th October we had a number of enquiries about our coin handling products. We reminded customers that they can visit our website to download the latest datasets to ensure their products are up-to-date removing the old £1.  We were pleased with the overall feedback and the high interest shown in our ticketing solutions and were very impressed that the organisers managed to find another venue at the eleventh-hour to enable the event to go ahead. We look forward to a busy 2018 which kicks off at EAG and we’re excited about several new products that we will bring to the market.”

The 9th International PLUS-Forum 2017 took place on 4th & 5th October at the Sokolniki Exhibition and Convention Centre in Moscow where Innovative Technology Ltd (ITL) showcased their expanding retail and banking product portfolio.
 
Commenting on the show, Lina Trofimow, Business Development Manager said, “The exhibition was busy with organisations from across the region interested in cash circulation and self-service. A key industry topic which was talked about at length during the show was the growing use of cash across the region, highlighting that ‘cash is still king’ in the region. This year we had established products to promote that are ideally suited to both the banking and retail sectors.  Visitors to our stand showed lots of interest in our game changing new validator, NV200 Spectral – the most technically advanced note validator in its class. Of significant interest was the fact that, the NV200 Spectral has passed and is now certified by the Central Bank of Russia’s (CBR) - due to its notoriously stringent requirements. It’s value for money, plus the fact that it has add-on modules to allow note recycling or ticket printing capabilities proved very attractive.”
 
ITL’s NV200 Spectral has state of the art spectral sensors which offers complete note image capture (highest spectral coverage) to authenticate the validity of notes. The unit boasts 99%+ first time acceptance of new and street grade notes with a note to note processing time of 2 seconds. It also delivers outstanding fraud protection by using optical and mechanical anti-strimming technology. 
 
Lina continued, “Another particular highlight was our SMART Coin System. A market leading coin capacity makes this unique unit suitable for a number of different applications combining an advanced bulk coin validator, mixed coin hopper and recycler in one. The unit validates, discriminates and stores mixed coins, eliminating coin starvation & the need for multiple hoppers. Visitors were keen to hear how the SMART Coin System significantly reduces operator collection costs, eliminating coin starvation.”
On its debut outing in Russia was ITL’s SafeCash Collect. A new unit that combines a tamper evident bag system (TEBS) with live data collection and reporting. Although this concept is still under development it was another popular talking point on the ITL stand. The unique barcoded bags allow for full audit traceability.  This reduces shrinkage, eliminates counting cash and accounting errors. The system dramatically reduces cash in transit collection costs and as updates are pushed out from one central location, there is no need to visit multiple sites.
 
Lina concluded, “International PLUS-Forum 2017 provided us with an ideal opportunity to exhibit our retail and banking products to the growing industry in Russia. We expect a lot of interest in NV200 Spectral and SafeCash Collect from the Russian retailers over the next 12 months. We are pleased with the overall feedback and interest we obtained and are delighted with the growing awareness and trust in our products.”
