Tidel announces Revolution cash room automation solution
November 18, 2008
CARROLLTON, Texas — Tidel Engineering L.P., a provider of cash-management systems and robbery-prevention products,announced that it is shipping its new "Revolution" solution for managing high volumes of both coins and notes in the cash room, according to a news release.
"This is truly a unique solution to automate the cash room for large retailers who have extensive sets of equipment, headcount to run the eqiupment and are inputting numbers into a database manually," said Mark Levenick, president and chief executive of Tidel Engineering L.P. "We will automate all of the cash processing down to the exact till drawer and simplify the process to the point where cashiers will start and end their shifts without interacting with anybody or anything else but Revolution."
Revolution is made up of three segments:
- A coin recycler that validates, counts, sorts and dispenses high volumes of coins. Coins are dispensed directly into a till drawer or coin cups. Coin validation, counting and sorting happen at up to 3,000 coins per minute.
- A note recycler that validates and dispenses high volumes of notes.
- Revolution Middleware, software that integrates all cash-handling functions and provides a complete set of reporting. The total solution is network-ready, which makes it easy to interface to existing applications.
The first demonstrations of the U.S. version of Revolution were shown at the BAI show in Orlando, Fla., today. Tidel is already shipping Revolution into European markets for the Euro and U.K. Pound currencies. Additional currency will be added in the coming months.
