TOKEN MANAGEMENT
Any successful establishment in the pursuit of providing services (S) will experience people gathered and waiting to be served. In such cases, it becomes essential to have some means of forming queues in an orderly fashion to ensure that people are served on first-come first-serve basis. It is definitely not desirable to form physical queues. Instead, everybody can be assigned a number (token) indicating their turn and allow them to estimate and manage the waiting time in their own way, without having to stand in a line.
The Token Management System is designed to address the above-mentioned requirement. This system helps in issuing a token, segregating the tokens for different services, routing them to proper service provider and enables the service provider to announce a token number chosen from a particular queue, both visually and aurally.
FEATURES
- Designed around RISC based micro controller with STAR topology reliability.
- Compact Token Calling Units with LCD display to reduce power consumption.
- Token Calling Units are designed to get powered by the data cable itself (does not need separate AC supply)
- The system is designed to be maintenance free
- The system can be configured to suit variety of establishments
- The Token Displays are designed with inbuilt voice module to announce the token number in two different languages
- Provision is made for auto printing of multiple copies of token
THE SYSTEM COMPRISES OF THE FOLLOWING MODULES: TOKEN HUB
This is the main module of the entire system which receives request from all the Token Dispensing Units and maintains one queue for every service. Similarly, it can maintain up to maximum of 8 service queues. It can get connected to a maximum of 15 dispensing units and accepts service requests from all of them. It can also get connected to a maximum of 15 Token Calling units and 15 Display units. On any of the Token Calling Unit requesting for a token to be called, the hub will determine from which queue it has to pick-up the token and put that token on the Token Display Unit and announce the token number in two different languages.
