DALLAS -- Fujitsu Transaction Solutions has introduced the latest member of its Series 8000 ATM line, the 8031 island drive-up unit, which the company says is designed to withstand all climate conditions while providing all the services of a full-function, walk-up ATM.
The self-contained Model 8031 has a high-contrast color display for easy reading on the
brightest days and a small footprint for easy deployment, according to a news release.
Other features include, according to the release: a lockable steel enclosure with UL 291 safe and enhanced alarm package to ensure security; full Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliance, including text-to-speech synthesis for the visually impaired; and a Microsoft Windows operating system that supports both traditional financial transactions and advanced transactions.
"Fujitsu's Model 8031 ATM has performed well since it was installed in July, which is the hottest time of the year in New Mexico. The day it was installed, the temperature topped 110 degrees," said W. Everett Crawford, chairman of the board and chief executive officer of the First National Bank of Artesia in Artesia, N.M. "(Customers) like the 8031's easy-to-read screen and cool-to-touch feel in extreme heat, and our transaction volume didn't slow at all after the it was installed."
FiSource Inc., a Fujitsu business partner and ATM value-added reseller headquartered in Albuquerque, N.M., installed the first Model 8031 unit at the First National Bank of Artesia.
