Once images are scanned, they are output based on the clients' needs or transferred to an imaging package provided by Alos Docuware. The system features auto cropping, deskewing, and auto scaling. This eliminates the need to post process images before distributing them to clients. The results were immediate, as operators with little experience can now scan 8,000 to 10,000 mixed documents each day, as well as 20,000 same size documents. According to Williams, the Kodak scanners feed continuously, not stopping and starting with every batch or poor scan.
Operators now concentrate on image quality, as the unit almost never jams.
Williams is also impressed with Kodak's MVCS software. Because training employees is easy and service quality is high, operators used to running cameras immediately adopted to using the scanners. Operators have found it easy to see images and troubleshoot documents on the fly. Williams also found a hidden benefit. The speed and accuracy in which images are OCR'd and processed went from 40 percent accuracy to almost 90 percent accuracy.
