JCM Global’s ICB ASAP® Earns Gold for Leading Productivity Innovation at GGB iGB Awards

“ICB ASAP® has transformed the count room and redefined the concept of productivity enhancement. Simply put, it is a groundbreaking innovation in the casino industry that has forever revolutionized the entire drop and count process. It is the most significant technological advancement to come to the count room since JCM introduced its ICB® Intelligent Cash Box system more than 20 years ago, and we are honored to be recognized by the industry for our efforts,” said Dave Kubajak, Senior Vice President of Sales, Marketing, and Operations.

ICB ASAP stands for Intelligent Cash Box with Automated Secure Asset Processing. The system automates the count room, enhances productivity, reduces human contact, boosts security, improves throughput, and increases reliability.

ICB ASAP is the first and only automated secure asset processing solution available on the market. The system consists of four industrial-grade robots and industry-standard automation equipment, all operating within a secure automation unit that meets all robotic safety standards, improving the overall efficiency and reduces total processing time of the count process. 

ICB ASAP simplifies security monitoring by providing real-time or archived video feed of the bank note/TITO ticket removal process, complete with time and date stamps of when each asset is processed.
 
The system is compatible with JCM’s UBA® Pro and iVIZION® cash boxes and can process up to 240 cash boxes per hour, equating to 4,000 bank notes/TITO tickets per minute, nearly twice the speed of the fastest count sort machines, dramatically accelerating the count sort process.
 
ICB ASAP was developed to be compact while optimizing installation, operator movement, accessibility, safety, maintenance, and service. ICB ASAP can be moved through standard-sized doors and be fully operational within just a few days.
 
The first trial installation of ICB ASAP took place at MotorCity Casino in Detroit, where it processed more than 180,000 cash boxes in less than a year. The system has handled more than 450,000 cash boxes thus far.
