紙幣還流装置「G600」

FTEC, with many years of experience based on designing and building bill and media recycling units and using its abundant technology and expertise, has succeeded in developing the Global Bill Recycling Unit "G600" based partly on the results of a strategic business alliance between Fujitsu Limited and NCR Corporation that was formed in 2002.

The G600 is capable of depositing almost every type of bank note worldwide ranging from large-size bills such as 1000 Swiss franc notes to small-size bills such as 5 euro notes, and its bill validation templates support the US dollars, the Chinese yuan notes, the euro, UK pound notes, and many other currencies from different regions. In addition, the entire body of the G600 can be placed in highly secure CEN-4 compliant safes, allowing its slot-type presenter with a maximum bunch size of 200 bills (*3) to configure "Through-the-Wall" (*4) ATMs and devices mainly seen in North America, Europe and China. These features enable the G600 to be securely built into various ATMs and devices in banking and other facilities throughout the world.

With the launch of sales of the G600 in China and other Asian countries, FTEC plans to expand its sales in global markets. FTEC will also work together with manufacturers and vendors worldwide with the aim of delivering products meeting a broad variety of market needs, such as increased serviceability in depositing and reducing operating cost by recycling.
