(openPR) - WDR invited tenders for the digitization of its microfilm production records for the years 1986 through 1988, and DRS was commissioned to carry out the work.
From a total of 17,000 microfilm jackets, 10,000 earmarked for scanning had to be sorted out and some 130,000 documents digitized.
The procedure:
The fully automatic DRS DIGITIZER provided the decisive advantage, negating the need for time-consuming and labor-intensive manual sorting. Within a very short space of time all 17,000 jackets were digitized in fully automatic batch-processing mode. The jackets were then indexed and reconciled with WDR's electronic archive database, with the data not intended for processing being simultaneously filtered out and deleted.
Original records that could not be indexed unambiguously were quickly passed on to WDR to decide how they should be handled.
During the digitization process, DRS ensured that any records required by WDR were provided within eight hours.
DRS Digitale Repro-Systeme GmbH
DRS has successfully developed a completely automatic scanner technology for microfiches and microfilm jackets.
The Oberhausen company produces and sells the DRS DIGITIZER worldwide and is expanding the service centre at the Oberhausen facility.
Numerous customers can attest to the quality of the DRS Digitizer and the service.
The DRS DIGITIZER is used by numerous German authorities as well as by the US Department of Defence and by Canadian Pension Insurance Institutions.
Foreign service centres within Europe are primarily equipped with systems.
Due to the use of modern, future-oriented CCD flat chip technology and a high-performance microfiche feed system, the DRS Digitizer is able to convert very large quantities of analogue microfiches with high quality demands and microfilm jackets quickly and with excellent quality into different data formats.
Extensive information on applications and references for banks, insurance, publishing companies, archives and industrial companies are available upon request.
