Spanish term or phrase: Regulador turno
I have a list of equipment used at a bank, which includes everything from a bill counter to a meat slicer. One of the entries on the list is "regulador turno". Anyone know what this is called in English?

Thanks in advance.

queue management system (QMS)
Explanation:
We'd need more context to know if "regulador turno" refers only to the machine that delivers numbered tickets to clients, or to the whole system, often including display screens showing the numbers currently being served, software to control the system, etc.

agree  Charles Davis: I think this must be what "turno" refers to. It may refer to one particular part of the system, but if so we can't tell which, and I think this is the best bet.
