Itautec (pronounced ē-′tau̇-tek), a $1 billion global electronic equipment manufacturer from Sao Paulo, Brazil, debuted the world’s first 3D image projecting ATM at a recent trade show.

Transactions on the Adattis Touchless 3D ATMs are controlled through contactless cards and gestures, which reduces the opportunity for theft (e.g. via card skimming). Additionally, Itautec has created face tracking technology that recognizes if the person at the ATM has changed or left, terminating the session, and safeguarding customer information. The machine has patents pending.

“We’ve developed a new and safer way for customer interaction,” said Denise Damiani, vice-president of Automation Itautec. “The Adattis Touchless 3D ATM meets the global demand for secure self-service banking equipment. Our products elevate the image of any financial institution via an innovative customer experience.”

“Itautec’s Adattis ATMs are modular, so each client is able to tailor machines to their needs,” said Marcio Weltman Dvorkin, general manager Itautec America. The company reports that it has more than 50,000 ATMs deployed worldwide.

Itautec also unveiled an ATM that recycles cash deposits. With a recycler built into Adattis ATMs, cash deposits are automatically credited to the customer’s account and the same notes are made available for withdrawal. This security innovation is another step in reducing the number of times an ATM is touched.

“The cash recycler works as a currency exchange on the ATM, which will be perfect for when Brazil hosts the 2014 FIFA World Cup and 2016 Summer Olympics,” said Damiani. “The ATM cash recycler helps financial institutions minimize capital expenditure and risk.”
