The heart of the automated cash center is the vault. The vault is the storage place for sealed containers, loaded with coins or notes. An integrated automated storage and retrieval system (ASRS), which will automatically pick up the containers, store them in the racks and finally retrieve them for processing or cash orders.

Using an Automated Storage and Retrieval System has a very positive influence on bank security and floor space. The unique concept of our ASRS design allows very dense 4-deep storage of coin and notes containers in a relatively small highly secured area.

The transport between the vault interior and the different processing and receiving rooms is done via AGV systems. The AGV’s or Automated Guided Vehicles receive their transport tasks from the cash center management system, which will create, schedule and monitor the execution.

The combination of both automated material handling systems is preventing human vault access during the cash center operation hours, and creates a detailed physical trail of all cash movements in the cash center.

The management system controls every physical transaction on the cash and electronically enforces the bank security procedures. The management system supports and integrates all individual steps, such as cash receipts, cash orders, storage, sorting, bundling, canceling and destruction.

The management system works independent from, but is integrated with other central bank systems taking care for reconciliation, invoicing and clearance.
