Made in Germany

With over 180 years of experience, our company has unique expertise in church heating engineering throughout Europe. The plans and documents that we had to scan in the course of our digitization and decentralization and make available to 165 employees throughout Germany were correspondingly old and varied: postcards, paper-thin carbon paper, transparent templates, technical drawings, heavy letter paper, memos, faxes, index cards, photos, and so on. In order to find the optimum scanner for this purpose, we carried out detailed tests in which the SCAMAX® prevailed over two competitor products. The decisive factors were its secure paper feed, high throughput and user-friendly software. The additional costs for its comparatively higher purchase price were offset after just six months in our requirements profile.

The company bmd GmbH supports businesses with first-class DMS and ECM solutions. Among our main strengths are document management and scanning services from the scanning of incoming mail to the digitalization of paper-based archives consisting of the documents of several thousand ring binders. We have been using SCAMAX® scanners for these tasks for over 10 years. The sturdy and reliable scanners are excellently suited to continuous usage and achieve superb scanning quality even when processing very heterogeneous original documents. We maintain a trusting partnership with InoTec in which we particularly appreciate the good service, the fast reaction times and the competent engineers.

With Germany’s largest media database, we inform our customers about the advertising activities of their competitors. Up to 2,000 new print motifs are added daily. Efficient document capture in high image quality is thus of central importance to us. Before acquiring two new high-performance scanners we analyzed the overall operating costs in detail. At first glance, the SCAMAX® scanners appeared to be more expensive, but solely because of their automatic, highly functional edge detection capacity they save us over 70 hours working time per month. That represents a cost advantage of over 10,000 euros per year. And whereas a rival product required 1,800 euros per year for wearing parts, the parts for the SCAMAX® scanner amounted to merely 200 euros. Besides, the latter delivered twice the resolution of its predecessor for the identical scanning time.

In order to establish a universal information infrastructure with fast access and to save on archiving costs, we had decided to convert to digital patient records. In the future, approximately 16,000 new records were to land in the DMS daily, among which were to be very thin note pages, X-rays, CT images and ECG recordings up to 60 cm in length. The scanning systems initially employed were not able to manage this task in day-to-day routine. Feed-in faults and downtimes of up to two days occurred repeatedly. Consequently the central archive installed a SCAMAX® scanner. Its purchase price lay above that of the previous device but its total costs below. The two SCAMAX® scanners that we now have in the central archive accomplish the same amount of work as the four former devices of a different manufacturer.

Our customer – a leading Italian DMS service provider – specializes in digitalization projects in the health sector, particularly in the digitalization of health insurance prescriptions. Every day it records more than 200,000 pages in color, in the sizes A5 and A4. A large number of downstream text recognition processes thereby requires outstanding image quality. The heart of our digitalization solution for this customer are four SCAMAX® scanners, that have already been able to prove their performance and efficiency impressively: even after five years of use with twelve hours of running time daily and over 50 million pages captured per scanner, the devices keep running and running and running. Their total cost of ownership is without doubt among the lowest in their device range.

We modernized our scanner infrastructure several years ago in order to increase the efficiency of processing of our incoming mail and to significantly reduce the manual work involved. We acquired the necessary high-performance scanners from the company InoTec GmbH Organisationssysteme. […] Our new, multi-stage process of handling our incoming mail, which besides scanning letter mail coordinates the receipt of faxes by the central fax server, the conversion of incoming mail in image formats and the subsequent transfer of all three types of mail entry to the new OCR sub-system, has proven itself in practice to be highly efficient.
