Kodak Alaris’ Kodak S2085f and Kodak S3000 Series of document scanners can empower SMEs
Expanding its existing fleets of document scanners, Kodak Alaris has launched a new line of low-volume production scanners and a refresh of its web-based capture software. Yes, the company has introduced Kodak S2085f and Kodak S3000 Series of document scanners in the world market.
Based on the award-winning i2900 and i3000 Series Scanners, the new Kodak S2085f and Kodak S3000 Series are faster and more powerful while offering network connectivity and a better user experience. New models include the 85 page per minute (ppm) Kodak S2085f Scanner (A4 paper size) and the 100 ppm Kodak S3100f Scanner (A3 paper size). Also new to the Kodak Alaris portfolio are the 60 ppm Kodak S3060 Scanner, the 100 ppm Kodak S3100 Scanner, and the 120 ppm Kodak S3120 Scanners, which are all A3 scanners.
Don Lofstrom, President & General Manager, Alaris division of Kodak Alaris., said, “Document capture is the critical first step to automating paper-based business processes. “Too many organizations are frustrated by bottlenecks created by inefficient scanners and software that slow down business processes and increase costs. Removing unnecessary manual intervention when processing data is key to saving time and money, and ensures valuable information flows seamlessly into business systems”.
Lee Davis, Associate Director, Scanner Analysis and Software Evaluation for Keypoint Intelligence, opined, “Most businesses have a strong desire to automate business processes to save time and eliminate mistakes”. “But when it comes to automating certain kinds of processes, like those where paper-based information needs to be entered into a digital process, things get tricky. The new scanners and software from Kodak Alaris simplify this intersection, providing customers with an automated portal for integrating paper-based information into digital workflows and archives”, added Davis.
The S2085f and S3000 Series of scanners deliver smaller file sizes, which minimizes storage costs and speeds up retrieval. Perfect Page technology automatically turns poor-quality originals into crisp, high quality images while scanning at full-rated speeds.
Their larger color touch-screen displays, make easier to send documents to pre-defined capture workflows right from the scanner. The Scanners also provide advanced user options on the display such as maintenance counters and productivity counters.
At the same time, improved enterprise-grade security protocols safeguard scanned images between hosts and scanners when scanning over the network. TLS encryption ensures privacy and data integrity, and secure boot validates ‘trusted’ firmware before executing boot, preventing ‘hackable’ software. This is extremely beneficial for election and ballot processing solutions.
Intelligent Capture of Contents
Users can extend the capabilities of document scanning with Kodak Info Input Solution v6. The web-based and mobile application enables faster capture and access to information at the office or remotely.
Info Input Solution now offers advanced document classification and separation, which reduces the need for document preparation. For example, a BPO or scanning service bureau can load multiple document types in the feeder and Info Input will separate, classify and extract data without the need for barcodes or patch sheets. This capability will help BPOs expand their offerings by enabling true self-service to customers for a fee.
When purchasing Info Input Solution, customers can now choose what cloud engine to use for data extraction and indexing: Google Vision AI, Amazon Recognition, or Microsoft Azure AI. The cloud engines use optical character recognition (OCR) and intelligent character recognition (ICR) to capture and translate handwritten characters on structured forms.
