SIASUN Internet Ticket Vending Machine (Itvm) (iTVM)

A station that depends on a staffed counter for every fare is a station where queues grow at the worst moments. The SIASUN Internet Ticket Vending Machine (Itvm) (iTVM) answers that problem with a self-service kiosk built around non-cash ticketing, recharging and guided help, so that passengers can deal with routine transactions on their own while staff attend to the things only people can solve.

The product is available through this page, by quotation.

Background

SIASUN and its rail transit focus

SIASUN is known across the robotics trade, and this machine shows a less familiar side of the company. SIASUN concentrates on urban rail transit automatic fare collection technology and integrated monitoring technology. From that base it provides metro automatic fare collection system solutions, system software and terminal equipment, as well as metro integrated monitoring system solutions and system integration.

That lineage matters for a buyer. A ticket vending machine is not a standalone gadget. It is a terminal inside a fare collection system, and a manufacturer that also supplies the system software and the integration work understands what the terminal has to do once it is installed in a station. You can see the wider range of the maker on the SIASUN category page, where industrial and mobile robotics products sit alongside this transit terminal.

Positioning and key technology

The iTVM is a front-line passenger terminal. It provides non-cash ticketing, recharging, ticket inquiries, intelligent customer service and voice inquiries. In other words, it covers buying, topping up and asking, which are the three things most travelers need at a station before they reach the platform.

Inside the cabinet sits a built-in high-reliability industrial computer. Passengers can work with the machine by touch or by voice, and the interface is offered in Chinese and English. The overall design follows ergonomic principles, so the way a person stands, reaches and reads at the machine has been considered rather than left to chance.

The machine also keeps the operator in mind. A built-in maintenance terminal handles ticket addition, ticket clearing, accounting, fault diagnosis and operational parameter settings, which means routine servicing does not have to wait for outside equipment.

Technical Specifications

Specifications as published by the manufacturer; confirmed against the datasheet at quotation.

The manufacturer has not published the dimensions, the weight, the power consumption, the display size, the operating temperature, the IP rating, the list of accepted payment methods, the ticket printer specifications, the operating system, the communication interfaces or the contents of the box; they are confirmed at quotation.

What makes the iTVM easy to keep in service?

Most ticket machines are judged on a good day, but they earn their keep on a bad one. The iTVM is built so that a fault does not turn into a long outage. The machine has a small footprint and a modular design, and its modules can be pulled out on rails for maintenance. A technician reaches the part that needs attention without taking the whole cabinet apart, which supports a quick response to faults.

The built-in maintenance terminal adds to this. Ticket addition, ticket clearing, accounting, fault diagnosis and operational parameter settings are all available on the machine itself. Staff who restock media, check the accounts or look into a problem do so at the unit, using the same cabinet the passengers use.

Because modules are optional, the configuration is not fixed at one pattern. The machine supports customer customization and optional payment methods, so a project can be shaped around what a given operator needs. Payment choices are a point to settle when the quotation is prepared.

How is the machine built to handle public use?

A kiosk in a public station gets touched, bumped, cleaned and sometimes abused. The materials here are chosen with that in mind. The panel is tempered glass, which is scratch-resistant and impact-resistant, so the surface passengers touch most keeps its clarity. The entire machine is constructed from corrosion-resistant stainless steel, with smooth edges and an attractive appearance.

Stainless steel is a sensible choice for operators in warm, humid or coastal settings, where corrosion is a constant concern for metal equipment. Conditions at the installation site should be reviewed with us before an order is shaped.

The ergonomic design and the dual touch and voice operation also serve the public. A passenger who prefers to speak, or who finds a touchscreen awkward, has a second way to reach the same services, and the intelligent customer service function is there for questions that do not fit a simple menu.

Who is the SIASUN iTVM for?

The first group is the metro and urban rail operator that wants to move routine fare transactions away from staffed counters. For these buyers the combination of non-cash ticketing, recharging and ticket inquiries in a single unit is the core attraction.

The second group is the systems integrator or project contractor who delivers fare collection or station equipment to a transit authority. The optional modules, customizable configuration and optional payment methods give an integrator room to match a specification, and the modular, rail-mounted construction helps when the operator asks how the unit will be serviced.

A third group is the public transport planner or facility owner who is studying self-service in busy passenger buildings. The interface in Chinese and English, together with voice operation, suits sites that serve travelers from more than one language background.

If your interest lies in factory automation or mobile robotics rather than passenger terminals, the better route is the SIASUN category, which lists the other equipment we can quote.

What is the SIASUN iTVM used for?

1. Non-cash ticketing. Passengers buy tickets at the machine without handling cash.
2. Recharging. Passengers top up their fare media at the kiosk instead of queueing at a counter.
3. Ticket inquiries. Travelers check ticket information on the machine itself.
4. Intelligent customer service. The machine answers passenger questions and offers guidance at the point of need.
5. Voice inquiries. Passengers can speak to the machine when touch is less convenient.
6. Station-side maintenance. Staff use the built-in maintenance terminal for ticket addition, ticket clearing, accounting, fault diagnosis and parameter settings.
