The company mentioned here took notice of the fact that self-service is a key part of the banking automation industry, and in response developed a new generation of innovative and competitive ATMs (Automated Teller Machines). The ATMs assist banks and financial institutions with providing more services to more customers, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

After evaluating different possible solutions, the company decided to use a PC-based architecture. Since PC technology is very mature and open-end suppliers are numerous, the availability of vast software resources and environments reduced development time greatly. To connect the peripherals needed inside the ATM, the company chose MOXA CP-168U V2. This 8-port serial card was all that was needed to link the ATM's magnetic card reader, cash dispenser, cash insertion unit, balance sheet printer, keypad, and modem.
