Bypass PIN entry

I am using GPG on windows. Is there a way to pass the user PIN of a smartcard in a gpg-agent batch file or script? I am using a nitrokey as a private key store for an unattended SFTP system. It simply runs a WinSCP script to pickup and send files via SFTP. Before the script runs I launch I run
