Vending machines and self-service terminals are an important part of retail, larger companies or industrial environments.

The ongoing pandemic and hygiene regulations mandate an expansion of contactless payment systems wherever possible. Equip your vending machines, self-service terminals and industrial dispensers for consumables and protective equipment now with innovative and future-oriented RFID technology with PC/SC interface. A PC/SC function enables the identification of smart cards with integrated chip. The RFID HF reader validly reads the integrated NFC chip on the smartcard. This enables payment processing – either by credit or EC function. The advantage is the complete handling of the sales process with one card.

Good to know: The PC/SC interface is a flexible connection between a smart card reader and the computer. PC/SC is derived from the terms “personal computer” and “smart card”. The interface enables smart cards to be read in the PC environment. The PC/SC standard is platform and manufacturer independent and can therefore be integrated into any operating system. Possible smart cards are customer cards, employee ID cards, health insurance cards, NFC-based EC cards or credit cards.
