PlastiCard Systems is an experienced provider of check readers, check imagers, and magnetic stripe reading equipment.
For more than 25 years, we have watched the technologies behind check and mag stripe readers evolve. While the physical changes in the devices that capture the information have been subtle or invisible to the end user, the improvements in efficiency, security, and economics have been non-stop.
Change is driven not only by industry requirements but also by changes in platforms to which they are connected. The PS/2 port introduced in 1987 for keyboard and mouse is no longer appearing on most new computers. USB has quickly become the most popular interface for computer peripherals. Blue Tooth and RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) are rapidly moving into new applications.
You may have the need to utilize any one or any combination of these in your day to day business processes. But, this is not your area of expertise. It is ours, however.
