Beyond the screen

Real hardware.
Part of the same test.

In mission-critical retail and payment ecosystems, the riskiest part of the journey is the part no UI tool can reach. Cinnamon360 drives the terminal, the printer, the scanner and the drawer as ordinary test steps.

Retail peripherals validation

Five physical surfaces.
Every release.

Each one runs unattended, produces evidence, and resets itself so the next transaction can start.

Robotic payment interaction

6-DOF SYROBOT arm

A six-degree-of-freedom robotic arm performs human-like actions on payment terminals — swiping magnetic-stripe cards, inserting chip/EMV cards and tapping contactless cards or devices — with accurate, repeatable mechanical interaction on every cycle.

  • Custom application to define, record and repeat robot actions
  • Cost-effective and customisable to your terminal layout
  • Consistent contact force and position across every test run

Automated PIN entry

3-axis SCARA robot

A separate 3-DOF SCARA robot with a stylus-based tool mounted on the robot head handles touch devices and customer numeric keypads, simulating secure PIN entry without a human tester repeatedly keying in sensitive data.

  • Stylus tooling for capacitive touch and physical PIN pads
  • Removes human handling of sensitive credentials
  • Repeatable key-entry sequences under test control

Receipt validation

AI-driven OCR

A high-resolution camera captures the printed receipt and AI-driven OCR validates items purchased, transaction totals and taxes, timestamp and merchant details, and the receipt format itself — then compares it against the expected values from the test script.

  • Printer hardware tested with every POS software release
  • High-accuracy capture and image processing
  • Automated comparison for complete billing accuracy

Barcode & QR simulation

No physical merchandise

A dedicated digital screen presents barcodes and QR codes representing real retail items, so POS scanners read on-screen codes exactly as they would physical products — validating scanning accuracy and item recognition with no stock room required.

  • UPC-A, UPC-E, EAN-13, EAN-8, Code 128, Code 39
  • ITF, GS1 DataBar, QR Code and PDF417
  • Scanner hardware tested with every release

Cash drawer synchronisation

Sensor + actuator

A microcontroller and magnetic sensor detect cash drawer activity while a smart actuator automatically closes the drawer, returning the POS system to a transaction-ready state for the next test without human intervention.

  • Accurate detection of drawer open/close events
  • Automated drawer handling for unattended runs
  • Reliable transaction readiness between cycles

IoT & robotic automation

An API-first control layer,
built in house.

A dedicated IoT communication service coordinates robots, motors and microcontrollers — and exposes secure APIs so other platforms can drive it too.

  • In-house built, API-first IoT control application
  • Dedicated service for IoT communication
  • 6-DOF SYROBOT arms and 3-axis SCARA robots
  • Servo, stepper and DC motors (with encoders)
  • OpenCV integration for vision (beta)
  • Secure, well-defined externally exposed APIs
  • Record and replay robotic and device actions
  • Concurrent multi-controller coordination

Watch it happen

Live streams from
the physical setup.

When a robot is driving a payment terminal three time zones away, you need to see it — securely.

Live hardware streaming

Optional
  • Live stream of the hardware setup over a secure WebRTC framework
  • Multiple camera streams at the same time
  • Authenticated, one-way viewing
