The Vertera 6G cash recycler from Glory Global Solutions represents the state of the art in automated cash recycling. It offers new and improved features, particularly in terms of storage capacity and space requirements. Helbling developed the entire mechanical system for the banknote storage unit, from the preliminary project phase through to the pilot series. The sixth generation of the Vertera cash recycler needed to be developed on a very tight schedule and was focused on three goals: cutting manufacturing costs, boosting the banknote storage capacity and installing all of the features in a smaller space. These changes were not to come at the expense of reliable system performance, however. To solve this task, Helbling drew on its extensive experience both in the area of general device development and the development of systems that process and transport non-rigid elements, such as paper or cardboard. At the same time, Helbling contributed the know-how it had amassed through countless projects on ways to significantly reduce product costs.
