Following its launch in mid-2008, the NV200 quickly established itself as the default product for many leading manufacturers and operators. Other benefits are “its low cost of ownership, future proof technology, four-way barcode reading and ease of maintenance.” The NV200 can be further enhanced through two add-on modules, SMART Payout and SMART Ticket. The SMART Payout mixed-denomination bill recycler boasts up to 70-note ‘true’ mixed denomination recycling. “This technology offers significant benefits to operators. As it stores all denominations of a given currency it reduces the requirement to refill machines with coins, increasing operational uptime by eliminating coin starvation, SMART Payout , an add-on module for the NV200 , is a mixed-denomination bill recycler that accepts high-value currency and can store up to 1,000 notes in a lockable removable cashbox whilst reducing maintenance time and costs” explains Mr Cowan. “Auto-centering technology straightens notes before reading, quickly accepting all genuine notes. The unit accepts high-value currency and can store up to 1,000 notes in a lockable removable cashbox, ideal for busy applications.” The SMART Ticket, an add-on module for the NV200, is a combined bill validator and ticket printer unit. “The unit can be used to accept and print tickets and receipts, eliminating the need for separate printers and bill validators—giving added value and flexibility to customers,” says Mr Cowan. The company’s commitment to innovation and expansion has seen a new 1,700 square meter bespoke state-of-the-art head office in the UK, the addition of 2,500 square meters of manufacturing capacity at its factory in Shenzhen, China and three new offices opened in the past 12 months. Innovative Technology’s expansion in Europe entailed setting up its own offices as well as developing a network of leading distributors in key markets, an approach it is now looking to replicate in the Asia- Pacific region. “Over the last few years we’ve grown our client base across Asia- Pacific as manufacturers and operators have been impressed with our ability to bring innovative, secure, cost-reducing products to market. We’re now looking to expand further and intend to follow the same approach here as in Europe and are currently in discussion with a number of leading distributors,” says Mr Cowan.
