CMN System Applications Provisioning RCC services
Apps implementing an end-to-end RCC services provisioning scheme
The Remote Cash Control concept is about monitoring and controlling a geographically dispersed Cash Smart Safes population installed at merchant retail outlets, intending to safely store the cash collected during the daily commercial activities.
The smart safes network is named CMN after the "Cash Management Network" concept. CubeIQ, as an RCC services provider, deployed the CMN System as a cloud-based service, with the following key functional components:
- CashCluster
The local app installed on each Cash Smart Safes, aiming as a simple, secure and smart interface to users.
CashCluster is incorporating a synchronization agent towards the central CMN System. - CashPartner
A suite of cloud-based monitoring, control and data analytics apps, available via the web 24X7. - GeoCash
A real-time supervisory control monitoring workstation, based on a thematic geomap populated with all installed Cash Smart Safes. - CashXCell
Android mobile app connecting to CMN System, to follow your smart safes fleet on the go.
One-click view of your smarft safes status, drilling down to specific devices at will. - Incident Management – IcM
IcM is a sophisticated Incident Management system optimized for multiple stakeholder RCC systems.
Large RCC fleets now are supported by Help Desks with Incident Response Teams equipped with IcM, a strong and versatile Incident Management System, ensuring continuous health monitoring, critical events watch and communication drops early detection.
The CMN System Architecture
A "Superivisory Control and Data Acquisition" system, by design
The Cash Monitor Network (CMN) System is the center of a "star" formed network, serving as a centralized cloud-based SCADA server.
The overall network, as per the "IT Model" exchanges information between the intelligent network nodes with local intelligence
The overall network is presented in the diagram below:
As depicted in the above diagram:
- A dedicated Cash Smart Safes (CSS) network monitoring processes control is running in the CMN server, collecting near real-time CSS information across the whole network via secure web connections.
- The CSS data series is stored in a secure and resilient data base
- Compelling events are generating notifications that are relayed to the RCC system stakeholders, re: Merchant, Bank and Armored Courier Servuce (CIT).
- Selective or aggregate information is forwarded to business owners;
- Delivered on agreed timing schedule (push)
- Available via SOA on demand (pull)
