JCM's iVIZION expands into European Petrol Market

DUSSELDORF, Germany -- (PRESS RELEASE) -– JCM Global's award-winning iVIZION bill validator is among the most widely used and respected in the highly regulated gaming industry throughout Europe. Now, thanks to a cooperative relationship between JCM and Wayne, iVIZION has expanded its European presence into the petrol industry in Italy and in Sweden, thanks also to the development of Italian distributor KF.

Wayne is a GE Business and a global innovator of fuel dispensers and forecourt technologies including Outdoor Payment Terminals (OPTs). Since late 2012 iVIZION bill validators have been integrated into self-pay kiosks that are manufactured by Wayne, today reaching nearly 1,000 customers in Italy and Sweden. The self-pay kiosks are designed to withstand a wide range of temperatures, from extreme cold to extreme heat. In certain environments, an internal heating element is deployed to stabilize extreme temperatures and optimizes component performance.

JCM's iVIZION is built to withstand exceptional temperature stability with outstanding levels of security. iVIZION’s high level of security makes it perfect for self-pay applications, including un-manned applications.

"We have had tremendous success with our iVIZION bill validators inside Outdoor Payment Terminals," said Payam Zadeh, JCM EMEA general manager. "iVIZION's unit's ability to withstand a wide range of temperatures and its high level of security make it the perfect choice for operators. Looking into the future, we plan on taking these products to overseas markets, where extreme weather conditions necessitate using our products, because of the wide range temperature feature and high level of security."

The Outdoor Payment Terminal can be used in many outdoor payment applications. Its installation at petrol stations is the first deployment of OPTs with embedded iVIZION bill validators.

The iVIZION bill validator has the most diligent counterfeit protection, an RFID ICB cashbox with encrypted and web-enabled data, 64 megabit FLASH memory, a self-calibrating sensor package, modular component design, ability to read barcodes horizontally and vertically, two high-speed processors, sealed 85 mm banknote path, patented and proven removable stacker mechanism, "Blind Mate" and "Hot Swap" design. iVIZION (without stacker), modified by KF, has a wide range of operating temperature: -30° to +60°C.
