AI Coin Counting Boosts ATM Efficiency
SLM Holdings needed a groundbreaking non-mechanical solution to modernize ATM banking. We delivered a high-speed vision system that replaced outdated hardware with real-time AI coin identification and tracking.
Revolutionising banking required modernising hardware
SLM Holdings is on a mission to redefine the digital banking landscape. However, traditional ATMs rely on mechanical coin counting systems that are outdated, prone to breakdowns, and limited to just four coin types. They needed a non-mechanical solution to count money faster and more accurately.
Built for the edge — high-speed, camera-driven, perfectly seamless
Rather than accepting mechanical limitations, Gradient Insight developed a coin counting component using AI and Computer Vision. We implemented a customised object detection model that tracks coins in real-time under varying lighting conditions and angles, optimised for instantaneous display.
Implementation of a customised object detection model for accurate coin tracking in real-time
Optimisation of processing algorithms to meet the demands of real-time recognition
Robust performance across diverse lighting conditions and coin orientations
Selection and integration of embedded hardware: microcontrollers and high-speed cameras
Creation of an intuitive PiTFT touchscreen interface for seamless user control
End-to-end integration with the existing ATM system architecture
Outcomes that matter — from proof of concept to funded reality
The deployed system didn't just solve the mechanical failures — it provided the necessary validation for SLM Holdings to secure investor funding and accelerate their product development.
