How do you validate a product card?
The validation of the product card depends on the type of Vensafe-system that is installed in the store and also on the store scanner to which the system is connected.

If you have the Vensafe Maxx classic system there are three different ways of validation ;
1 - the product card is swiped through the activation unit and sales are registered by scanning the product card in the store scanner,
2 – the product card is swiped through the activation unit and the barcode is transferred to POS (RS 2332 port or scanner AUX port required)
3 – the product card is swiped through activation unit, the barcode is transferred to POS and the card is attributed a security serial number which is printed on the receipt.

If you have the Vensafe Maxx VBS system with interface to POS through Ethernet you may utilize the current store scanners to populate the product cards.

When validated how secure is it?
The system is considered to be 100% secure as the dispenser will not deliver products with product cards that are not validated, but display the message “Invalid card”. The source for misuse is the human factor with users claiming they have not received the product even though they have.

What happens when you change a product?
1. You need to have a correct space/column for the product and also a product card in the Vensafe machine. If you have this, programming the ean code and address is easy to do, and instructions will be on the Vensafe machine screen after pushing 159 and columns
2. With VBS it will be the same as above, but it is also possible to change ean codes returned from Vensafe to POS systems. This means that it is not a need for new product cards if you have a changed code
