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.”
