Swisslog's software-controlled air tube systems have added considerable muscle to the security of cash-handling at two of Johannesburg's busier supermarkets.
At the recently built Pick 'n Pay outlet in Northcliff, a Swisslog point-to-point air tube system was installed and commissioned during the construction phase, so that it was fully operational by the time the supermarket opened for business late last year. The system ensures that carrier-encased cash is transported safely and securely to a back office, through 110 mm diameter PVC tubing (made specially for Swisslog) at speeds of up to 9 m/s.
"The system is working very well. It is a big improvement on the conventional cash-handling methods used in other stores," said co-owner Zorba Miltiadou.
Swisslog air tube systems are already widely deployed in South Africa's retail, commercial, and food-processing sectors, for the secure transportation of 'sensitive items', such as cash, documents and laboratory specimens.
