BANKNOTE SCANNER – Efficient Mobile Banknote Identification and Documentation

Simplifying Banknote Documentation and Evidence Management

Insights From the Article

Law enforcement officers regularly have to identify, count and record banknotes as evidence. This process is often done manually, which is both time-consuming and error-prone. To simplify the evidence management of banknotes, kinegram.digital developed the BANKNOTE SCANNER. This mobile app is designed specifically for identifying and documenting banknotes directly with the duty phones.

Stefan Gabriel, Head of Digital Business at kinegram.digital, confirms: “The solution can be integrated seamlessly into existing police investigation or case management systems. This way, forces can easily scan banknotes with their duty phones – in batches, fast, efficient and secure.” The app identifies the respective currency, adds up the notes’ value, and records the serial numbers, alongside taking pictures of all scanned notes which can afterwards serve as visual proof.

This eliminates tedious and error-prone manual work, both in the field and in the ensuing evidence management, making BANKNOTE SCANNER a valuable tool for police patrols, criminal investigations, and evidence collection. As it runs fully offline on duty phones, it also meets strictest security and compliance requirements. The captured data can later be transferred to other systems.
