Detecting counterfeit money in retail requires precise detection electronics and the ability to operate the testing machines as error-free as possible. The company Ratiotec commissioned us to design the test device interface.

The design of the two Soldi Smart and Soldi Smart Pro banknote checkers was developed for our long-standing partner and one of the largest and most innovative cash processing companies in Europe: the ratiotec GmbH & Co. KG.
In addition to other aspects, these two products also focused on the development of a clearly understandable interface.
Particularly in large retail chains with frequently changing, sometimes low-skilled employees at the cash desk, incorrect operation when detecting counterfeit money must be avoided.

The Soldi Smart is very popular, as the banknote validator is the only control element with only an on/off button. The reliable authentication simply leaves the cashier to the machine.
When inserting a banknote into the banknote tester, the user receives a quick and clear result. The Banknote Checker checks euros, British pounds and Swiss francs in just three tenths of a second and provides immediate feedback. The result of the test is displayed via two colour-backlit and clearly understandable symbols. In the case of genuine banknotes, the frame around the display glows green, if there is a suspicion of counterfeiting, it glows red. The LED display shows suspicious security features of the banknotes and can be displayed in five different languages.
As additional security, if counterfeit money is detected, the banknote is not returned to the front, but remains on the back of the verifier. In this way, employees can safely avoid accepting counterfeit money despite the flashing red warning symbol and alarm sound.
With the integrated USB interface, the tester can be easily updated via the PC. If required, the Soldi Smart Pro can also be used on the go.
