MF S700 -
Efficiency
at all levels
microform announces new product in time for
DMS EXPO 2010 in
Stuttgart.
Microform's impressive new MF S700 high-performance scanner
system offers high productivity and user friendliness.
microform GmbH, based in Waiblingen, near
Stuttgart, Germany, and a leading supplier of capture solutions
for the high-volume segment, will be hosting a world premiere at
this year's DMS EXPO in Stuttgart (Hall 7, Stand 7D37) – its new
MF S700 high-performance scanner system. This machine is
particularly suitable for sophisticated digitization solutions
and features top-level productivity. With its ergonomic design
and simple and convenient control concept, it offers great
versatility and excellent economy.
DMS EXPO is Europe's leading trade fair for
digital information and document management and will be taking
place this year from October 26 – 28, at the same time as the
"IT & Business" exhibition in Stuttgart. Digitization and the
capture of documents are the basis of every document management
system and it's precisely here that microform provides for
maximum efficiency at all levels with its scanning systems. For
sophisticated digitization solutions in particular – such as
employed for paperless document processing or archiving –
require high-performance scanning systems that meet the wide
range of demands with respect to the quality and quantity of
documents.
The new MF S700 high-performance scanning system
from microform is a real trend-setter. Its tiered model range
concept comprises three versions, the top-of-the-range model
boasting a scanning speed of up to 200 ppm. The MF S700 is
equipped with an integral patchcode sorter that enables a
specific document type to be sorted out of the stack
automatically in real time while scanning is in process. This
allows you to reuse patchcode sheets. In addition, the Smart
Color Detection function is capable of detecting color-coded
markers, which means there is no need for additional patchcode
sheets in the first place. The system's LED lighting guarantees
uniform illumination of the documents, is ready for action
straight away (no warmup phase) and has a very long life span.
Depending on the model, the camera has a resolution of 400 or
600 dpi. The tried-and-tested, unique paper transport system of
microform scanners has been further optimized for the MF S700.
The feeder is equipped with three-sensor, ultrasonic
double-sheet detection and a memory function for the batch
height.
One of the key factors that shaped the design and
development of the new MF S700 were the ergonomics of the system
as a whole. This includes the user-friendly color touchscreen
that enables direct interaction between the user and the system.
The workplace concept is production-oriented and makes the
system very comfortable to use thanks to the motorized height
adjustment feature. The side-mounted work surfaces give the user
the space and convenience required to optimize the flow of
documents through the scanner. The system is equipped with a
switchable paper transport system with document delivery either
at the front or at the back of the unit. Straight-through
document feed with delivery at the rear of the system saves
rerouting the sheet and eliminates any risk of damage when
handling flimsy documents for instance. All systems are equipped
as standard with an imprinter and endorser.
"We have always seen DMS Expo as an important
platform for exchanging information between us, as the supplier,
and users, enabling us to meet the future demands of our
customers", emphasizes Andreas Klinke, Managing Director of
microform GmbH. "Our MF S700 high-performance scanner system is
the direct result of this dialog and precisely tailored to the
needs of users of high-volume digitization solutions. Those
people who come to the fair will be able to see the system in
action for themselves." microform's portfolio is completed by
the user-friendly and production-oriented DpuScan capturing
software of microform's technology partner, Janich & Klass, with
whom microform will be presenting its scanning solutions on a
joint stand, like at last year's DMS EXPO.

Janich & Klass
Takes Over microform
The former system partner will continue as an independent
enterprise.
Janich & Klass Computertechnik GmbH from Wuppertal, a leading
supplier of products in the ranges of industrial PC technique
and Document Imaging, announces the take-over of the scanner
manufacturer microform GmbH (Waiblingen). Since September 2008,
microform has been the system partner of Janich & Klass, and it
will continue operating as an independent enterprise sited in
Waiblingen.
The two equal shareholders of the Janich & Klass GmbH, Dietmar
Janich and Ulrich Klass, have purchased all the shares from the
former shareholders of microform GmbH (www.microform.de), and
now they are the new owners of microform GmbH, each with a 50
percent shareholding. The partners maintain silence on the
purchase price, nevertheless all payments have been made, and
the commercial registration has been completed. Microform GmbH
now becomes a sister company of Janich & Klass GmbH, but it will
continue as an independent enterprise with its site in
Waiblingen. Roland Reinberger, the former majority shareholder
of microform GmbH, will soon reach 65 years of age and will
leave the company. Nevertheless, with his longstanding
experience and his national and international contacts, he will
remain available to the company on request, as a consultant.
"Due to their high regard within the Industry, the considerable
amount of expertise and longstanding experience of the two new
proprietors Dietmar Janich and Ulrich Klass, I am convinced that
microform GmbH will continue successfully in the market, and the
jobs of our staff and the care of our clients are guaranteed"
said Roland Reinberger.
Microform will retain their entire staff. So, Jürgen Fross
remains Manager of microform. In future, he will report to
Dietmar Janich. Andreas Klinke, the former Sales Manager , will
become responsible of sales in Germany. Wolfgang Urban, the
former Manager for Export and Logistics, is responsible for
sales activities outside Germany. Walter Bartke, former Manager
for Service and Support, will remain responsible for Service.
"Synergy will result for both companies not in cost savings, but
in strengthened support and development" . says Dietmar Janich
explaining the take over. "In future, microform GmbH will
strengthen its focus in the sales of DpuScan and will utilize
the Presales Support from Janich & Klass. In return, Janich &
Klass GmbH as a technology company will develop the microform
scanners further, and will certainly benefit from the
longstanding experience of the microform service."
Janich & Klass and microform GmbH have been business partners
for many years. So, all scanners from microform GmbH are
equipped with image processing technology manufactured by Janich
& Klass. Furthermore, microform GmbH is the sales partner for
the scan software DpuScan made by Janich & Klass.

Customized
solutions for digitalizing archives
Microform at Archivistika (September 16 – 18) in
Erfurt
Every archive is different. And this statement of fact applies
not only to the paper format and quality of the documents, but
also to the criteria according to which the documents are
archived in order to guarantee fast access to valuable pieces of
information. If a decision is made to digitalize such an
archive, this requires customized solutions that meet the
individual needs of the respective user. How this task can be
tackled is to be presented jointly by microform GmbH and OIA
GmbH at the Archivistika, which is being held September 16 to 18
in Erfurt, eastern Germany, as part of the German Archiving
Conference (Deutscher Archivtag).
A prime example of such a task is that of a
digitalization
project for the Archive for Christian Democratic Policy (ACDP)
(please have a look at Press Release 2-2008 "Q2 –
Quantity and Quality") of the Konrad Adenauer Foundation, the
coordination of which has been outsourced to oia GmbH. On the
hardware side, oia has gone for a combination of a S 655 Premium
Color Scanner from microform with two QSI modules for quality
assurance, indexing and full-text OCR. "What's important to us
is not only that the hardware functions fast and flexibly, but
that the software also offers flexibility in expansion and
upgrading in line with our applications", says Dr. Hubert Salm,
Managing Director of oia, explaining the decision.
The documents, which have been marked with colored dots
beforehand, can be assigned to the subsequent processing steps
right from the point of scanning thanks to the scanner's
built-in automatic color detection functionality. The two QSI
modules are used at the ACDP to later index the image files
according to their signatures, the date and the source. In
addition, full-text OCR is conducted, for which OIA has written
a special filter program that filters just the index information
wanted and nothing else. "The DpuScan software used in
microform's systems is flexible enough to enable us to add on,
without any problem, functions to match our own particular
requirements", says Salm.

Automatic,
reliable, efficient
At the DMS EXPO 2008 in Essen, Germany, which will run
from September 9 to 11, microform will be exhibiting solutions
for processing incoming mail and invoices.
Automated processing of incoming mail and invoices – this means
state-of-the-art tools that help you organize your typical
working day more efficiently. The foundation for an economical
total solution is provided by the great flexibility of
microform's multistream scanning systems. These systems enable
fast, reliable and space-saving storage of large volumes of
documents in black and white, grayscale or color. Document
management is aided by the high level of efficiency of the
automated color management system.
Like at this year's CeBIT in Hanover, microform GmbH will
present its ingenious scan&solutions for medium- and high-volume
applications jointly with its technology partner Janich & Klass
from Wuppertal, Germany, which provides the processing software
for the capturing systems. This gives microform an opportunity
to stage a direct trialog between itself as the scanner
specialist, Janich & Klass as the software producer, and the
customers as the users.
Engaging in an intensive exchange of ideas and aiming to achieve
continuous improvements to its solutions, microform – together
with Insiders Technologies GmbH from Kaiserslautern, specialists
for intelligent incoming mail processing and business process
optimization – is currently holding seminars on this topic. This
'extracurricular' activity is in addition to the scan&expert's
presence at DMS EXPO 2008.
You will find us in Hall 7.1 on Booth B070 A071 at this
year's DMS EXPO in Essen. |

New
perspectives in Hall 3
microform and Janich & Klass join forces to
present efficient capture solutions at CeBIT – CeBIT
2008 from March, 4-9
Fast processing of large volumes of documents of all
conceivable formats and paper grades – that's one of the
specialties of the production scanners designed and
built by microform. But the process becomes really
efficient when premium hardware is optimally combined
with ingenious software. All microform's
high-performance scanners are therefore equipped with
the sophisticated DpuScan scanning software
devised by Janich &
Klass Computertechnik GmbH.
In light of this, CeBIT 2008 in Hanover will – for the
first time – see microform present its intelligent and
flexible scan&capture solutions for medium- and
high-volume applications jointly with and on the same
booth as its technology partner from Wuppertal, Germany.
This joint sales presence will focus on the issues of
incoming mail and automated invoice processing. The
foundation for an economical, total solution is provided
by the great flexibility of microform's multistream
scanning systems. These systems enable space-saving
storage of large volumes of data in black and white, but
if necessary also allow you to generate and archive
grayscale or color images. The flexible processes are
supported by microform's Smart Color Detection,
which is likewise founded on the ideal combination of
microform's scanner hardware and Janich & Klass' DpuScan
software and combines intelligent color detection with
automatic color processing. In this way, microform's
systems always ensure perfect image quality together
with the maximum possible degree of flexibility and
economy.
"We're using the change of location at CeBIT as an
opportunity to intensify the trialog between the scanner
specialist, the software company and the user", explains
Andreas Klinke, Marketing and Sales Manager at microform
GmbH. "It will allow us to join forces to further
enhance the performance of our products – fully in line
with our Best Image Quality concept and the standards we
set ourselves in all we do."
