VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Sept. 18, 2003 -- QI Systems Inc., a provider of smart card solutions, announced it is expanding and enhancing its product offerings in bulk water and ranch water control systems and that it is introducing versions of the systems for wastewater control.
The company has received orders from Aurora Bar Code Technologies Ltd., Edmonton, Alberta for upgrades to the smart card controlled bulk water distribution system installed for the City of Dawson Creek, British Columbia, Canada and for a system for wastewater control.
The Dawson Creek project has been operational for several years and will be modified with the installation of motorized card readers similar to the readers used in banking ATM machines. In addition a QI control system will be installed for a new waste water disposal station just opened at the city.
This upgrade will mark the first installation of the QI smart card system in a waste disposal application. To date the company's products have been used in bulk water (ranch water) distribution stations where large quantities of fresh water are sold. The waste disposal application provides QI Systems with a new market for its smart card control system.
QI Systems is currently in the process of signing wholesale water works equipment dealers to market the bulk water and waste disposal smart card system to municipalities throughout North America and expects the new marketing effort to have a positive impact on sales. Interested dealers are invited to apply.
