All required equipment, including ATMs, bolts, tools, and programming devices, were procured in advance to ensure seamless execution. A well-organized logistics plan was put in place to guarantee timely delivery of materials to each site.
Installation Process
The installation process began with a team of skilled technicians arriving at each location. The following steps were followed for each ATM installation:
Site Preparation
- The designated area for ATM placement was cleared of any obstructions.
- The location was confirmed to meet security and accessibility standards.
ATM Installation
- Each ATM was positioned and securely bolted to the floor to prevent unauthorized removal.
- Precision was maintained to ensure the ATM was level and aligned for user convenience.
Wiring and Connectivity
