Scheidt & Bachmann provide systems for cash register and access control systems as complete solutions. These systems mainly differ in the access medium. In addition to the solution based on barcode tickets, the environmentally-friendly ChipCoin technology provides plenty of highlights and has many pleasant conveniences; the reusable ChipCoin can initially be used as a "locker opener" in the changing rooms and can then be worn in a coin holder comfortably and protected against loss on the wrist. It also serves as a means of payment in the gastronomy or health and beauty area, or also for access or passage control into other areas.
ChipCoin
The ChipCoin is a non-contact, printable and scan-compatible medium in coin form that is easy to handle, resistant to the environmental influences common for a leisure facility (water/heat) and in which all relevant data can be stored.
The data-storage capability of the ChipCoin guarantees that operation will not be disrupted, even in the event of a breakdown of the central computer. Additionally, this medium is designed so that it can also be sold via automatic sales points without any problems (mechanical issuing from a magazine). This ensures fully automated cashier operation during low volume periods and the support of the manual sales device by the automatic sales points.
Barcode tickets
The barcode ticket is a printable medium that can be scanned without contact, is easy to handle and is suitable for application in swimming pool facilities. It has a cheque-card format in order to enable sufficiently large printing of tariff, date and time, in addition to advertising on the rear side.
The form and design of the ticket allow it to be issued mechanically from a magazine (carton with a capacity of approximately 4,000 fanfold units). The barcode ticket can be diversely implemented, e.g., as an single, permanent or multiple entry ticket, as a club card, gift certificate or money-value card.
