Kofax is to embed its VRS technology into OPEX’s new AS7200 production scanner to provide advanced in-line recognition and improved, out-of-the-box scanning productivity through reduced manual document preparation.

“As OPEX continues to work with customers who process many forms and documents from a range of industries, such as service bureaus, insurance companies, and healthcare entities, we have been truly impressed by the features and value of the Kofax VRS technology,” said Mark Smith, Director of Product Planning at OPEX.

“Because of its ability to significantly enhance image quality and also provide advanced features such as colour detection and content-based rotation, Kofax VRS clearly distinguishes itself as best-in-class. We are very pleased to have partnered with Kofax to embed VRS within the AS7200, our latest innovation in scanning.”

“This agreement demonstrates the power of Kofax VRS to extend the value of scanning hardware by providing image enhancement technology that increases scanner productivity, and enables users to improve efficiency and reduce operating costs,” said Jim Vickers, Senior Vice President of OEM & Partner Strategy at Kofax.

Kofax VRS reduces the time involved in manual document preparation and enhances the quality of scanned images. Capturing high-quality images is critical to document management processes, as image quality significantly impacts the success of data extraction, recognition, and retrieval.

When equipped with Kofax VRS technology, a variety of additional optimisations can be performed, including auto-crop, auto-orientation, colour suppression, colour smoothing and selective content ignoring at full-speed 300dpi.
