The point of entry into the cash center is the paying and receiving room. The operator will scan the received deposits and check them versus the advanced shipping notices transferred from commercial banks or CIT companies.

A deposit can be any individually sealed and labeled package during transportation and or processing. Typical examples include bags, trays, cassettes…. The identification is done with barcodes, according to local or regional standards such as e.g. the ECB standard.

Upon electronic receipt of the delivery the system will create the required host transactions, including the actually received deposits versus expected.

In order to automate the material handling in the other parts of the cash center, the deposits are loaded in (aluminum) containers. These Carriers are uniquely identified with fixed barcodes or RFID tags. The containers can be closed and sealed using preprinted barcode seals, or even be equipped with electronic locks, preventing unauthorized opening.
